I have seen their pursuits many times and seen their total disregard for the vehicle. it's just a tool to do the job. If that job requires smashing over a traffic island at 80 kph , running up perpendicular gutters at speed or using their vehicles as battering rams , they will. have you ever rented a car? have you ever had a company supplied car? tell me you would treat them the same as your own.

Everyone is so scared about buying a modded car for fear it's been trashed. Cops treat those cars as if they were there own cars and they just paid $44k for them.

No, I've never been chased by the police. Yes, I've seen pursuits. So what if it's a "tool to do the job"? Mine have always been tools to be given a belting every now and then Yes, I've rented cars. Yes, I've had a company supplied car in the past. Yes, I treat them just as my own because I have mechanical sympathy. So... where does that leave us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 03/03/17 11:59 AM Share Posted 03/03/17 11:59 AM When my friend was in WAPOL he said the coppers used to flog the sh1t out of the XR6T's & the GEN III's as he said to "get their money's worth" out of them So I would never get an ex-chaser even though they have been serviced regularly etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think taxis can go a million km's on the same engine?After reading some of the experiences of forum members, I'd be more worried about the timing chain skipping teeth, as I doubt they would ever check anything like that unless there was an obvious problem.Then again I'm always a little paranoid when it comes to big purchases so don't mind me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
