If Its Too Good To Be True, It Is.

My ex-cop chaser is going well.

Oil is good. Brakes better than any standard XR6T.

Only problem.

A small Kangaroo just ran into the side of my car.

Doing 60K slowing to 50K in a town. Roo ran into my front wheel.

Dints to front guard behind wheel and front passenger door.

Cops put 60K on this car without a scratch.

Not happy

My car is also ex-HWP.

I have owned it now for 2 years and 2 weeks and have had absolutely NO issues with it. Underneath, it was the cleanest car I had ever seen.

Bigger brakes, side airbags, dodgy drivers seat bolster, marks on my roof above the B-pillars and holes in my interior down low where I can't see them... but you know what?

I don't care. I LOVE MY CAR!

If you get a Telstra XR6T you know you are to get a pretty good car - I know cos I used drive one in Telstra Seriously, for a stock car you can't really go wrong. Don't get the white sedans cos they get trashed by the pool car drivers. Any color except white from Telstra and you're prolly driving a car that was used by an sales exec for no more than 2 years, serviced at the right intervals (Telstra send out reminders) and fueled with either Mobil 98 RON or Shell 98 RON (Telstra recommend T drivers to use 98 RON).

Telstra cars go everywhere.

John, that is so awesome you got pics of it in uniform.

Guys take it straight from the mouth of the horse that used to drive them. Firstly, to those who have ex "chasers" as you call them and they are good cars, good for you.

But knowing how I drove them, um, I wouldn't buy one.

But then, I would never buy a taxi. I would buy the car I have now and I reckon I've given that more than.....no I take that back. I wouldn't buy an ex "chaser" Certainl;y not a little yellow VL Turbo that I did 173 ks on a tank after thrashing it up and down the Western Highway. Gee those were the days.

Yeah they are serviced every 5000k at Ratter says. Checked after a pursuit (if your allowed to be in one...ahh the funs all gone)

People use to ask me "What do they do to police cars to make them so fast?" I'd answer, "They give me the keys". lol

Ask yourself, what is the fastest car in the world?

Answer...Someone elses.

Give me the keys to any car, give me free petrol and tell me the guy down the road with the Radar is my mate and I'll make that baby hum.

sh*t I miss it.

Anyway, I wouldn't buy one.

Having said that, it is something that should be "disclosed" and if I was able to find the history of the car, that is, where is was based and I could talk to the giuys who drove it, then I would certainly consider it. There is nothing wrong with them, but I know me. And I wouldn't trust me with your car.

mine is a xcop from albury, never had 1 problem with it. rather buy xcop that is serviced, than some second hand 1 that was driving by a 20year old who could not afford to maintain it, which is very common, problem happens, either sits in garage for months on end, fixed very cheaply,or traded in for some other poor b*stard to buy and fix 3 months later. just have a look on youtube the amount that get thrashed with a inch of it's life.and yeah have a look at a vl turbo now, can't buy them on the cheap no more. to me the xr6 turbo is the new vl.
