cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 9m Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 28/01/06 01:50 PM Share Posted 28/01/06 01:50 PM Hey Guys,Thanks for the quick replies.If it doesn't appear white is not a no-no for re-sale, I will more than likely buy the car, if it's not sold.The car is ex Government, but not police it appears. I will find out it's exact origins tomorrow.I will only do around 15-20K per year, so that's why im not too worried about k's. It will take me a long time to rack up the 200K my current car has!Cooltint, I may be in need of your services soon!. Can you let me know which tint company you represent? I recently had the partner's Mazda done at Mastertint. They did A good job but I think were expensive.Will keep an eye out for the first cruise, I'd love to attend.RegardsDarren<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi DarrenThe Auto tint side of our business is called Ultratint in Ferry Road @ Southport. We'd be more than happy to service any requirements you may have.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour may not affect the resale too much, just make it harder to sell. The tinted windows should look good - maybe change the mags to dark grey?

It has an aerial hole in the roof and small holes in the console. These things wouldn't be too hard to repair or cover up. Why else would an ex cop car not be a good buy for that price?Would the remainder of the three year warranty still be remaining?Would the motor have any other alterations for more power?Which way to go?RegardsDarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally never buy an ex cop car... so yes, been an ex cop car it does have downsides... maybe there is nothing wrong with the car but still some people would never buy an ex cop car (im one of them)... I tend to believe that if you dont own the car and get to take it home everyday, you will not look after it as well as you otherwise would... cop cars fall into this category. and a cop car with standard brakes?? wonder how much life they have left after 50thousand k's??

hrb93 Member 84 Member For: 19y 8d Posted 29/01/06 09:31 AM Share Posted 29/01/06 09:31 AM Fowles have buy it now versions with varying K's, some as low as 30,000 for that price. At audtion they are cheaper again.I did hear that cop cars are not a good buy, as sitting idling for to long is not good for a motor (from various sources) could be old wives tale though.The warranty thing, in my Subaru owners manual it clearly states in writing that a car purchased from Auction does not have factroy warranty. All cars have the 12 month/20,000km statutory warranty by law, but the additional 2 years and 80,000kms is not a requirment, only a gesture by the manufacturer. I would check up on this.Having said that, if you can wait another couple of months, maybe less, BF's will be turning up at the same price.
