Yeah ... but nowadays ... there's huge liability for agencies in selling cars still equipped as police cars. For years, you could pick up a California police crusier for chump change. But, when a couple of police-like rape series were regular happenings in southern California where the suspects were using old police vehicles, there were requirements to remove cages, lighting, and agency specific labels. Up until a few years back before Prius became the favorite of taxi companies, a giant number of Ford Crown Vic Interceptors were the favorite vehicle for longevity, long lasting engines, brakes, radiators, and alternators capable of standing up to high-mileages. PLUS ... room for six and a huge trunk for luggage. Even last year, one tow company entered a Crown Vic in the tow show beauty pageant as a service vehicle taking auto-club type calls.This story isn't new if your looking for a used police vehicle or motorcycle. Just go on-ine and Google, "used police vehicles for sale", or, "police vehicles for auction." Accordingly, this is another reason why the motoring public is fearful of unmarked police cars trying to stop them.       R.
