Blues and twos: why you should buy a used police car
X5 30d SE auto xDrive with 75,000. Like the used car market in general, prices for ex-police cars have been rising. At the same time, due to the problems forces are having sourcing new cars, fewer used ones are being disposed of.
Fortunately, those that Finney does have in stock look tidy enough. Not approved-used shiny but free of damage and well tyred, although if you’re looking for one in a tasty metallic, forget it: the bulk are solid white. Most arrive still with mounting holes for lights and aerials, which the bodyshop fills and paints. Not surprisingly, after so much use, interiors look a little tired. Dashboards may have the odd mounting hole, too.
The Centre sometimes lands something interesting, such as the ex-police riot buses sitting across the road. Double-skinned and fitted with Perspex windows to protect officers from missiles and broken glass, they have cabin heating, storage lockers, rows of seats and even a holding cell. Nearby is a Shogun fitted with a pair of dog cages.with instructions to the police driver on accompanying Princess Anne.
Of course, choose an ex-police car with a high mileage and the savings are greater still. For example, at £8995 the Centre’s 2018/67-reg, 115,000-mile Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 Turbo D Design Sports Tourer is around £2000 cheaper than the one-owner example with only 70,000 miles that we saw advertised by another dealer. That said, the car is on a fresher 2018/18 plate. It’s in a nicer colour, too.
