^^^thats true. Most agencies run their vehicles into the ground before considering replacing them....
especially in this economy with all these governments taking a hit
06 police local 165k for $5k is going rate..

What everyone else has said so far! I can't believe you have even found one with that low of miles.... Any police vehicle you buy you can be guaranteed that it was driven very hard, most of the time. Just think about it, if you were driving a car that wasn't yours and it didn't matter what you did to it...wouldn't you drive the piss out of it? I know I would!
On the other hand, it wouldn't be hard to replace the seats, the center console is fairly expensive though. No carpet wouldn't be that big of a deal, if you don't care, and you may have to put speakers in the rear doors and in the back?

I bought my '09 PPV with only 23,200 miles on the clock and in damn near perfect condition. The interior was spotless and the exterior didn't have any scratches. The only evidence of additional equipment being installed was two small screw holes on the inside top of the back window which I presume was some sort of lights as well as some additional flashers/bulbs in the tail light housings. The dealer said it was a "Municiple Vehicle" and not used as a cop car even though it's a Police Pursuit Vehicle (Defender Pkg).
I have been underneth the vehicle and did determine the rear plastic bumper cover was replaced/painted as I found some white paint overspray. The spare tire has never been used either.
So those vehicle are not all abused and obviously not all cop cars.
But I agree, I wouldn't buy one with high mileage.
I picked up a used center console off Ebay for $250 but searched a while for one that cheap.
I also added carpet but be aware the ebony carpet is not available from GM, believe me I looked. I ended up getting a used carpet from a wrecked Denali. Power washed it and it looks brand new.
BTW, I have the OEM vinyl floor cover if anybody (off road dudes) is interested.
