Recently, I found a great government surplus website if you want used cars or equipment.
One listing that I found interesting was this. Five Chevrolet Impala PPVs with some equipment still installed; for US$17,500! They're not in great condition, but still ... Some of the listings on this site make me wish that I had easy access to the US! I wish I had $400 to spare, because the Trenton PD in TN are selling 8 Whelen lightbars for it. Or I could get 14 Vectors for $50 (that's what bidding is up to). They would be for display purposes, of course, unless I can make a replica police vehicle one day ... -------------------- |

Interesting. But then again, I prefer manual floor shifters. And I already have a V6

I know; I'm not inclined to buy a car from a government surplus sale for that reason. Most cop cars are in pretty bad shape by the time they're retired.

Blow up? Sounds legit. That's what many old cars do.

Unfortunatly you have to come get them . But looking (on Ebay and elsewhere) vehicle shipping ain't cheap either..I saw some of the shipping costs and was like . I think I'll stick with what the cabbie told me, When I get ready to get a car I'll have him take me or if I walk over to a lot, (There is one about 3 blocks from me) I'll call and see if he can't come by there..He's a mechanic and fixes up all the cabs they use in his service, So he said he'd be able to help me pick out a good cheap cash only car for $5000.00 -------------------- I'm 10-80..All units 10-0!

A good car for $5000 can't be that hard to find; I thought cars were cheaper overseas. That equates to NZ$7500, which will by a pretty nice car here. I could get 2 really nice old Mercs.
