VE SS Cop Car

[metalfossil]

perhaps 'hammered' was the wrong choice of words. Perhaps 'abused' would have been better. I'm talking express u-turns over median strips when maccas is on the other side of the road and similar.

The thing is, like any work car, it's not theirs. So they're never going to treat it as if it were their own.

I'm seriously considering buying it. So perhaps an RACV check will pick up on that sort of abuse, or is that wishful thinking?

 

[TinSnips]

Not sure that it would be listed. SHOULD be, but I can't see it happening. As for the RACV guy picking up on it, the damage would be more excessive wear and tear. Nothing irreparable, but may lead to costing a mint in maintenance repairs.

In the QLD coppers I know there isnt a whole lot done to our cars except for harder brake pads. The areas I would be looking at would be interior B-pillar sections, seat damage and drill holes in the dash. I know all of our cars (non traffic GD cars) have a huge amount of wear and tear to the interior from our guns, radios, cuffs and tasers scrapping the crap out the interior when we get in and out. Also there is large amounts of spilled coffee in ours too! haha. Engine wise though, they would be fine, they get a good work out yeah, but are always serviced and usually driven relatively stress free on hwy's. Hope this helps a bit..

Beaut to get some advice from the long arm...There are a few marks inside; nothing to write home about though. I haven't had an eight since my early twenties, and this one goes 'quite' quick. If I do buy it, I will have to take the lead weight out of my shoe...Tomorrow is D Day; I have a holding deposit on it at the mo.

Just wondering Sly_VY (or any other member) is there a definite answer in regards to wether or not the SS Police Vehicles are modified. I always figured it was an urban myth. Especially in regards to engines.

 

[TinSnips]

No engine mods. Springs, brake pads and brake fluid is it as far as I know. Obviously aside from the electrical mods.

 

[Sly_VY]

As TinSnips said, no mods. They stopped chipping cars back in the VR's/VS's too.

 

[metalfossil]

Well, I went out and bought it. I am very appreciative to all your advice (especially sly_vy). Thanks guys. Now if I can only keep my licence..

No worries mate, enjoy!
