Fully agree with RiCeY
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
congrats metalfossil on ur purchase... i had a chance to buy an ex cop 07 ss at pickles auctions a few months back but like one of the other guys posted - thrashing the car at 4am in the morning cnt be good for the engine.. in the west of melbourne cops drive like ########s... so thats what held me back from buying it...
ended up picking up a 07 m6 ss for 24K with 64,000 in october so i was realy happy with the buy...
enjoy ur car man hope it doesnt give u dramas...
All the cars Ive seen treated like ****, not serviced regularly etc have been privately owned cars.
Fleet cars generally always have good service history and cops cars dont get thrashed any more than your average lead foot hoon.
That being said buying a privately owned car or from a caryard is no less risky than buying an ex cop car.
I would say don't buy it, it's a cop car and they get a hiding every now and then, which, yes is probabaly true.
But go buy a private V8 car of any kind and your probably going to find it has been hammered in some way, shape or form in it's life also.
Buy the car, it seems like a good deal...
Exactly mate, not many peoples pockets are that deep...Yeah, thought of the privately owned argument as well. I guess the only way to avoid this is to buy new. However, my pockets aren't that deep.

Go for the cop car mate, it seems like a mint deal.
Well, you must be a happy camper mate.
Be sure to post a my ride thread, i would love to see the progress on such a beast.
