Geez, I guess I got ripped off paying 11k for my 2011 with 179k on it, 7 antenna holes, 3 water leaks and all the usual interior butchering. I have over 2k in interior parts and various knik knacks and its still not 100%. Fortunately it was from Arizona so no rust at all.

I'm in the process of replacing the carpet, drivers seat cover and cushion. I also replaced the dash due to the cracking. That was $400 alone. I'm buried in this vehicle now.

My advice.. Find one that was used for administrative purposes, detective, supervisor etc. unless you get it real cheap, so if you sink a few grand into it, you'll still be ahead.

I think I got a gem on e-Bay (Chicago Motors) for $11,495. 2009 former MN State Trooper vehicle with 120,000 miles and 6 plugged antenna holes. The back seat looked like it had never been sat in and had full carpeting. It did have some rust issues on the roof that I had repaired at MAACO. It also had some rust on the inside of three doors and rear hatch that I stripped, primed and repainted myself. Its a real beauty that's fun to drive and has been trouble free except for a lower ball joint repair that I also did myself. I wouldn't mind getting another one, black this time.

There are some excellent PPV deals on e-Bay right now including a number of black ones.

We get some good deals in NC. Last time I went they were going for $6500 and in very good condition. Black and silver ones.

Mine is black, I wouldn't mind a silver or dark red like yours
