In my opinion, I wouldn't buy an ex-police car. Swapping one ex-police car for another is a big gamble, as the condition is likely to be very crap. Course you could also find one that's ok, but the odds are you won't.

Just my 2 pence worth.

He is right y'know - it is a bit of a minefield, and unless you know what you are dealing with the money you save will go straight back into getting it straight.

In our hot country, the plastics for the S70/40 just turn sticky (like M&Ms) as they used recycled plastics and sorts whereas the 850 & below are still okay. Do you find this in UK ?

DYKT the thing about 850 dashboard is, the holding clips tend to crack/break off. The best is still the 940 series.
