i bought an ex-cop VZ also mine was out of warranty when i got it but it had the usual warped front rotors, the rear shocks were leaking, so i just replaced the pads and rotors all round and shocks in the back and i'm doing the struts in the front this week with ultra lows, i think the LHF wheel bearing is on its way out also, but hey its a used car with 85,000k's. as far as i'm aware it was a D car, so hopefully wasnt thrashed as much as HP would have tho lol, bodywork is straight as a pin and running gear is A++

I suppose it depends on the area it was in and drivers
i'm extremely happy with my car and I would buy another ex-cop car....but i'll wait til the model after the VE comes out...not a fan of VE
