    Look at your compliance plate, or at your rego papers, if it's an ex cop car it'll be a BT1.

    ALso the speedo has exact incriments on the dash too.......little dashes between the actual speed.

    It'll be thrashed, have the mudflaps either destroyed or ripped offf, the back seat will reek of the dole line, the front seat will reek of coffee and maccas, and you'll regret the day you paid money for it...

    People are too obsessed with how much "power" their car makes....it doesn't make power, it produces torque, from which this mythical "power" figure is calculated.

    how to tell
    depends on range and if it is a sedan or wagon
    a SS or a Crewman or adventra
    they have diff codes not like older VH to VL BT1 code

    i have all the codes over the whole rage up to VE

    VT = executive sedan n wagon = 9C1, SS sedan (A/T) = A8V 824, SS sedan (supercharged V6 A/T) = A8V & 834,
    SS sedan (5.0 M/T) = A8V & 825, SS sedan (5.7 M/T) = A8V & 826
    and a VT Taxi sedan = A9T

    VX = executive sedan n wagon = 9C1, SS sedan (A/T) = A8V 824, SS sedan (supercharged V6 A/T) = A8V & 834,
    SS sedan (5.0 M/T) = A8V & 825, SS sedan (5.7 M/T) = A8V & 826

    HAHA...

    I wouldn't buy one because of the possible insurance issues.
    That was one of the questions they asked me when I insured my car "Was it a police car" because I might pay a higher premium because the car had been flogged...or possible because of any mods the cops used.
