I kind of want. Looks sexy as hell, and it would be pretty cool to have people not drive like jackasses when they see you.

It might suck though when everyone starts slowing down around you. Thoughts? |

Buying a used police vehicle for $20,000+ is so stupid I can't even describe it.

Buying a NEW police vehicle as a personal car?
That makes a person a faggot. A faggot so hungry for cock, so lusty for shaft, that if all the cocks in all the worlds were to penetrate the person in question, it STILL wouldn't be enough cock. Because buying a new police vehicle as a personal car would be pretty faggoty. Even used ones tend to be owned by gunshow commandos who live in 5.11s and have 'Heaven doesn't want me, and Hell's afraid I'll take over!' t-shirts. Not always, but frequently. But a new one? That's a LOT of dick. That said, too bad Ford doesn't offer the 3.7 in the non-police Explorer. The 3.5 is...nothing better than adequate. The 3.5 EB is awesome but adds a few grand. |

The interiors are junk. We have them come through work.
Well maybe junks a strong word. Compared to even the base model interiors they are fugly. It's a very spartan interior that you'd expect in a police car. Plastic junk everything and with a column shifter. Which is REALLY weird. They seem to be either ecoboost or 3.7 too, which is weird because the 3.7 isn't in any other explorers. |

gunz4me, you really should redact all of that, if only for advocating an illegal activity.

I bought an ex cop ford explorer with spot lights on both sides and the extended push bumper. It is funny to see people scream down the highway and then come to a screach and fall back behind me. Except when it's dark and I have someones headlight glare in the rear view mirror. I'd rather not have car behind me like that and they be further ahead, especially when were the only vehicles for miles. The 5.4 triton thats in it does seem to have some go in it. Kinda wondered if it is stock or has some enhancers. Was a vegas rig for a while a guess.

Its no where close to the Explorers, except that they are both labeled as a SUV and are made by Ford. If you mean an Explorer, you better check under the hood because none of the Explorers came with the 5.4. |

They're not too big or too small and they're all wheel drive, but Ford completely botched it. They don't handle as good as the new Durangos and for the above reasons, they're weird as hell. So, OP, in addition to the fact that there is no reason to own any old police car other than a 94-96 Caprice with an LT-1 because those are badass and its basically impossible to find an Impala from those years and shut up mine didn't even look like a police car because it had full wheel covers and never had a spotlight or light bar and it was a dorky light blue and just looked like something your grandpa would have been driving except really fast so stop judging me, you should also not buy a police package Ford Explorer because they suck and you'll hate it. P.S. That Caprice had A LOT of problems because police cars get treated like crap and I can tell you from my experience that most city garages don't have any idea what preventive maintenance is, so you really shouldn't ever buy one unless you own some fly by night cab company. I can't lie though, I loved that giant, rear wheel drive, huge engined American gas guzzler. And I'm actually a cop now, so it doesn't even count, now stop judging me. |

I had a tungsten grey 2012 Charger R/T with the blacked out grill. People did move over when I was driving down the road. People also broke their necks to look at me at stop lights or slow moving traffic. Got some weird waves and head nods, and ladies seemed pretty interested to see who was driving...so did shady looking folks. It ended up feeling like driving a target around.

Had a 1996 P71 Crown Vic as my first family car. Was a cheap alternative to a car payment I didn't want. Put 60k miles on it and sold it at 155k with never a single issue. Great car. Would do it again for the right price/vehicle.
