That you, George? Welcome! A lot of great info here. -Joel
What are prices looking like in Cali? I bought my 2013 PPV (retired Springdale, Arkansas vehicle) with 125k miles on it for $9k. It is super clean. There are a few dealers in the southeast that regularly stock police vehicles at great prices. If you're willing to look outside the southwest, deals can be had.
Thank you for directing me to this forum. I'm open to looking outside SW but would like to avoid rust. Hence I'm concentrating on the warm climate markets. The only risk of buying outside of California is whether the vehicle will pass smog. My son lives in Texas so there's always a possibility of the Lone Star state registration. There's another local outfit, this one in Hollywood but their vehicles appear to be a bit rough from the photos and their selection is limited
