Only problem is that it is an ex cop car. Are there any downsides or upsides to the ex cop cars. Should I steer clear or is there little difference between the ex cop cars and normal daily commuters. Cheers guys.

If fussy then buy a normal xr6t from carsales and hope the owner hasn't ' thrashed it ' otherwise ponny up and buy a brand new oneHappy with my ex cop car , it's now making 477rwkw, bought it with 100,000km on the clock and it has now done around 127,000km Edited 13/09/14 12:08 PM by sct911 5

Yeh that's why I'm here, just wanted to see if there was any common problems or things to look out for especially with ex coppers. I had someone telling me that the seats are always worn due to their holsters rubbing on them etc.
