Thanked 1 Time in 1 PostIn 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.

Thanked 60 Times in 56 PostsIn 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.
