But not an ex-cop car. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10889-pro-con-of-buying-a-ex-pursuit-car/#findComment-125523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA_Turbs Member 836 Member For: 21y 10m Gender: Male Posted 23/05/04 01:14 AM Share Posted 23/05/04 01:14 AM No Way. You couldn't pay me to take one. A car could not have a worse life.Constantly thrashed when still cold, run at 110% all day everyday, right from 0kms. Excessive (hours sometimes) periods of idling.But the worst bit it the hacking and damage that is done to the electrical system adding radio, lights etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10889-pro-con-of-buying-a-ex-pursuit-car/#findComment-125621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
