I had a look at some SA XR6T and XR8s at an aution yard in Perth last week.The ex police ones are easy to spot, 90% of them had body work done (white is hard to match), they all had marks on the roof above the b post and damage to the rubbers where the blue n red lights are mounted and they all had windscreens replaced (badly fitting too).Police cars are really well looked after in the shop, so the full service history would be genuine.Not to say that you wont find an ex police gem, in fact the Xr8 was really clean( have to say I was tempted), but these cars arent exactly in short supply.Ive spent nearly 6 weeks looking and just picked up a 03 Phanton, Premium sound, Rev Sensors, sunroof, tow pack, 70K, full history and 4 new tyres on it from a private Perth sale, $22,750.If you can find a stock, well looked after one with good KMs in a private sale and get a aftermarket warranty on it, youll be $$ ahead of something of the yard that has been well detailed, but by the sound of it has had a pretty hard life.Be patient, youll get yours !

Ex-police cars are generally a very good buy, with low K's and an excellent and strict service history by Ford and usually at a reasonable price. Try the auctions over the dealers.

KTASTRPHE Member 82 Member For: 19y 2m 12d Location: Perthoslavakia Posted 12/08/07 12:00 PM Share Posted 12/08/07 12:00 PM What did they say about the diff whine? Is it coming with any sort of reliable warranty?If you are keen on it I would be getting a mechanic to do a report on it, and then tell the sales man what you want fixed first if you buy it.

SHOWDOWN BACK SLOWER THEN EVER! Member 706 Member For: 17y 11m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 12/08/07 12:16 PM Share Posted 12/08/07 12:16 PM Mate I would suggest Government Auction.Also do a rta check on the cars past. You just need the rego no. and last 4 digits of the vin.Never Never Never buy a car that has been registered in a different state, reason being you can't trace the history. Unless of course the guy selling it is the original owner.PM me if you need more info.Ozzie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37410-xpolice-ba-xr6-turbo/#findComment-563702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
