You would have to look at it mate.

This one looks good, especially with full history and receipts:

Looks like it was a police car
put the reg in google and got pics of the car "in uniform"
So there could be some holes in the roof from the lights

It does state that it was a police car quite explicitly in the description.

If anyone knows how to keep to servicing you would think it would be the police....

I would not by an ex police car,you can imagine how much of a thrashing they must get,can you imagine them getting a call to stop a stolen car,and saying sorry guv the scoobys not warm yet it will have to wait or when they have stopped a car that they have been chasing for miles,and asking the suspect if he would mind not running off again whilst the Scooby cools down

I bought an ex police engine that had 106k on the clock (3.0 V6 omega) and they ARE thrashed to hell. You could tell!

I had to re-hone the bores and fit oversized rings to get decent compression. Changed the bottom end bearings and stem seals as a matter of course. I would say the engines are well looked after though, Vauxhall V6 engines rarely see that mileage without being properly tended to, although I can't say the same for the rest of the car. Looked like it had been cartwheeled! Lol

my mate bought the old wrx unmarked one from the tv program car wars i think it was.

ripples in most panels where scum bags had been banged up against the car - he never had any problems with it though it was a bit rough and still going strong

Ex police cars get thrashed to hell, trust me! They are passed over from team to team everyday and never given a rest!
