They should have no more than 60,000K's in NSW and other states can be much lower.They are serviced well and according to there books, but they are driven and used in the harshest of fasions. In addition they all get the premium upgraded brakes, not the standard one.If you can put up with a few extra holes in the dash console then go get one.

It's not so much the canings the cars cop, it's the fact that just about every time they are used, they are started stone cold and belted to redline. Quite often a car will be parked for hours, then a call comes in so the cops jump in start and pin it straight to the floor.Another issue is that although they get regular servicing, it's only done by the log books and as most owners here say, 15,000 between oil is too much, especially when being flogged. Also, dealers find cop cars easy targets for cutting corners and not changing the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see your concern, but they are worth considering, if you can have a decent l;ook before buying.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only down side is when doing say 300 random breath tests the cars have to be running in order to keep the lights going. I'm not a fan of cars sitting and idling for ages.I know a cirtain highway officer in the shire who at the start of every shift washes and gives the car a once over.Police cars are also serviced every 10k due to their usageRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
