As a former police officer I can tell you first hand - never ever ever ever ever buy a “retired” police vehicle. Those things are ran harder and for more hours than almost every car on the road. It might have 150k miles, but that thing has more engine hours than you can believe and is typically ran either balls out or idling in park for hours on end.
Their mint!

I know a couple of people that have had solid luck with Crown Victoria's. I don't know if I would trust a charger though.
You are so right about the hours, but keep in mind a huge amount of x police cars were bought by cab companies and run upwards of a half a million miles they weren't Charges, the old crown Victorias were somewhat tanks but can only imagine the service needed to reach such miles plus driven 24/7 again aside from that for the cost for a car these days is not a bad deal
Only 8k thats needs 12k work
Exactly dumb as shit bruh
You can get a motor and trans for 3k
@@80glk5I must know where you find these unicorns. 3k for a 5.7 hemi and transmission I’ve looked everywhere have not found a motor for less than 5k
if its only got about 100k miles then you should be fine spending about 3k on an engine rebuild. cams lifters etc. the suspension parts at 100k miles? idk about that one thats a lot lol
@@carsandmoredemarion6338 used not new
If you wanna buy a retired Crown Vic without putting a lot of work in it, go ahead, they're bullet proof. If you want to buy a retired Dodge Charger without putting a lot of work in: DON'T.
I miss the old crown vics
Buying a used police vehicle is a bad idea IF* you are buying the beat up patrol vehicles with crazy miles like the one in this video. HOWEVER. If u can find a low mileage Chief of Police vehicle, now THAT is a great buy. They are never driven hard and can be had for great prices, if u can find one.
Hemi and heavy duty suspension pretty bulletproof i dont know bout the transmission tho
@EyePatchGuy88 yea I was thinking the same those dodge motors rarely even see 150000 so it’s gonna need some major work very soon they do put down some good power for what it is tho
@@Fishingandcarstuff go outside and start looking, there plenty all of older and newer dodge ram goin more than 100k miles and still going strong

Those cars get abused, driven over curbs, through fields, 0 to 100 all day and night when they're not parked idling for hours. No thank you!
Soo.... same as a normal used charger lol.

@@JayAR_YTv8 Subaru? I’d that a joke?
Weird comments. Everyone: “Steer clear of these”. People who actually own ex-cop cars: “Super reliable” 😂
I guess it’s probably because they’ve been ran more than any other car but at the same time they must’ve been built to last
Because people generally have a difficult time admitting that they're wrong or have been fooled.
@@redhoward11exactly. what are you gonna say? i ignored a bunch of good advice, spent $10K and it turns out everyone was correct after all?
People forget the government actually do maintenance on their vehicles
Most people are saying get the Crown Vic steer clear of the Dodge Charger.
You paid 8600 for a vehicle with 150000 miles, not the greatest deal I've ever heard.
That's still cheap for that car

You wouldn't get those type of problems with a crown Vic
The transmission or transfer case usually comes undone

@@tonymaas1709 still will run better than a charger interpreter
Avoid any ex-fleet vehicle with the Hemi specifically. The oiling system on that engine relies on a bit of RPM to get oil splashed and splattered up to camshaft lobes. This is normal for all pushrod V8s, except the Hemi has a very high cam tunnel, so it doesn't get as much oil thrown from the crank as a more traditional layout like an LS or vintage V8. Normally this isn't a problem. But fleets, especially cop cars, can spend several hours straight at idle, leading to premature cam lobe and lifter wear. For a given number of engine hours, you probably want as many miles as you can get on a Hemi. They'll go down the highway until gasoline ceases to exist on the globe, but prolonged idling is their Achilles heel.
This is the only accurate comment on this video, the 8 speeds are pretty bulletproof as well.
OMG the one person who actually knows wtf their talking about in this comment thread. Lmao thank you for ur wisdom an common sense. It's much needed here apparently 😂
GOOD MANNN
Now imma go listen to zeppelin in the sunrise 🌄🌅
Interesting I didn't realize that, is it just the newer model Hemi's or Hemi's from the 60's and 70's as well? The crank thrown oiling issue that is.
I drive an old 2009 retired cop car and got it off an auction for a little over 3k. Almost no repairs and runs very well.
Its a hit or miss.
@@riza4086 I feel any used vehicle you would buy are a gamble and should have an enforced maintenance inspection before sale. god knows i would have been better off buying a whole other vehicle than the "cheap" used car i have.
But it's also probably a crown vic? Which is way more reliable than a charger.
@OgBadlaws Same I got my car for "free" technically but have spent over 4k keeping it going...Ah the Chrysler Sebring...Too beautiful to let go of but such a headache.
didn't sound like a V8 but it had the V8 motor block and if it truly is AWD it may be worth building up.. Some people don't know how expensive if it is to get a V8 transmission to go AWD.. I know Mopar doesn't normally sell that combo for sure

150k on the clock of nothing but city miles you should check the idle hours😂. Most have been crashed 3 or 4 times as well. All depends on what you want to do with it.
and those 5.7 hemi's don't do well with long idle time > lifter failure
Some dept when crash once they get retired
Every car has had a somewhat different experience ! I do know the most popular & most loved cop cars of all time were Fords Crown Vic. Haven't been made in 15yrs ..yet many still on rds. 4.6L modular V8 was excellent. Ppl won't sell em that own em.
@@Davido50 lookup surviorship bias
I bought a 2013 Cop charger for $9300.00, I got mine 5 years ago and it had 73000.0 miles, they installed new brakes and rear shocks and they installed a aftermarket console and they put challenger wheels and decent tires. Only problem is the vent system clicks for a while while changing the a/c system cause the plastic gear is stripped. It passed inspection and runs strong.
I forgot to say it's also the 5.7 HEMI with the pursuit package, faster than the R/T & it's cheaper to insure.
And they also gave it a great paint job too l
My 2012 challenger has the same issue with the AC making noise. Do you think it's worth fixing? Did you ever get a quote for it?
What part did u replace for the ac vent clicking ?
Yea I wanna know too, with the ac clicking?
I bought a retired 2013 Dodge Charger police vehicle from a private sale about 15 months ago, who'd previously only owned it for 2 months after an auction.
It had 121,000 miles, I purchased it for $9500. V6, 3.6L engine.
My honest take is it's a FUN car, but there's been expensive maintenance even with a good family friend offering good prices on the fixes.
Whay I enjoy is that it feels GREAT, drives amazingly, and it even has the FEINIX Typhoon police sirens still installed and programmed (plays the Bad Boys song, too). Of course, no lightbar or lights. But it has the pushbar, working spotlight, aftermarket wing, leftover decal numbers on the roof they forgot to remove ...
The downsides ... well, Ive had to replace the camshafts, lifters, and rocker arms..
Rear rotors & pads, front pads.
Bad strut arm.
Lower control arms were finished...
Recently the radiator fan exploded and I had to get a new fan and radiator.
It's come to about $5000 - which is on the cheap side considering the massive amount of fixes. I'm 'lucky.' Do I love this car? Oh, yes. Would I do it again? Maybe not..
Yeah that will last you a week or so before you need 10K in repairs
yep
It's not just the high miles you have to consider with these but the incredibly high idle hours they tend to have. There's a reason they're so cheap and the auctions aren't popular.
@@Peter-nm1ps Not necessarily - the used car market doesn’t have enough cars to meet the increased demand. Prices are still high from recent inflation and people are still buying them.

Have a buddy who works on these for the state. Had a 1999 crown Vic that was a ex cop car that I loved, so I figured I’d get another ex cop car 4 door rwd v8 boat. Picked one up for a decent price and he had a field day on me. He was very very right, thing was a money pit for the next year till I sold it. The chargers hold up horribly to abuse. Older crown Vic’s/sometimes the ford tarus, and the chevy caprices are great, but anything newer then 2010 ish is a huge huge dice roll
Haven't had any issues with mine at all. 2016 With 118k miles on the dash. It runs solid, only problem that it did have was the Carrier Bearing that tends to go out a lot on the RT's/ pursuits.
How is it 5 months later i'm looking to get one
It's not really a secret. Most of us car guys already know about these and tend to stay away from them, especially if they have 150 thousand miles and thousands of hours of idle time. Those cars get the crap beat out of them on the daily... you get what you pay for, and that's a soon to be 8k parts car or going to need a new engine and driveline soon.
Pretty sure that's true with any v8 charger though.
Actually that's not a bad deal. Id take a whole new engine and drivetrain for the price of that
I’ve owned interceptors my whole life haven’t had a single issue, I currently have a 15 taurus and 06 vic the Taurus has 2097 hours and Vic has only 600 I got the Taurus at 110k and I’m at 170k the vic I just got a month ago has 120k
@prestongarvey2961 crown vic doesn't count it's bulletproof. Seen retired cop car taxis with 600k on them.
How u find idle time?
I wouldn't spend anything to buy that. Console ripped out, wire harnesses all over and 150k miles. You got ripped off buddy.
And the hubcaps lol
Yeah that stuff plugs into things in your center consol. Like usb ports, the old shifter, the 12v plugs and may have had rear climate control as well. And probably stuff to power their computer and lights and other things if you know what you are doing you can flip this car for a decent profit. May not be a great one but a decent one or make it a fun car and do a rebuild on the engine and then blow the trans cuz of the power and throw a better one in 😂
Chrysler didn't put a centre console in the police package chargers , the police would put their computers there, the console wasn't ripped out.
There are a lot of differences on the police chargers from cilvian use.
Thats almost nothing to fix lol i bet you buy a new pair of shoes every time they get dirty lol. Its called a junkyard. A console in good condition for less than $100
@remgroup8401 150k miles is not nothing to fix. Car is shot. Those are hard miles too, not just cruising highway miles. Ridiculous.
Mine was only $10,777.99 and all it needed was new; tires,brakes,body panels and valve covers, crank shaft went around summer time when air conditioning broke, basically had to replace the whole drive train, interior & exterior. I hardly paid ten grand and I got another fourty grand in repairs. The frame is bent, but it’s all original, so, definitely more valuable than the average hot lemonaise rawd ❤
I drive a 5.7 ex -unmarked charger all white added a hemi badge and back wing /spoiler had it for 2 years now no issues at all but tires and minor normal things best car I had love CASPER ❤️ bought mine for about 12k 💯💯
Can I see a picture
It also has a transmission that is ready to blow at any minute, and the differentials are also on their death bed. At my department the vehicles run 24/7 for all 3 shifts every day none stop for their entire lives… do not ever buy these. Plus the 1st-3rd gears are usually absolutely destroyed from being abused in the line of duty.
Some dept take home there vehicles
Wait wait they made AWD hemis for cops but not us?? Malarkey!
@@AntLive29 because the civilian chargers were V6? GT or something.
It uses the 5 speed auto trans which shifts like a brick not really worth
@@dbulldog80 Ahhh that definitely deducts some points then. Probably not missing much then, since that was probably the 5-45rfe or whatever transmission which couldn’t handle much power any way.
I always wondered why they couldn’t put the AWD setup with the ZF 8 speed like in the jeep/Durango srt products into a challenger or charger and give us the “Holeshot” edition or something. Probably because they could sell essentially that for more money if it was called a Jeep.
@@AntLive29Because you couldn't get a V8 with AWD, that's why no one bought them
Theyve likely had a rough life, the idle time is tough on an engine. But....for the DIY guys- a great deal. With the money saved, an engine refresh gets you a decent ride. The Hemis are easy to build and parts, stock and aftermarket, are plentiful...
Ive been hoping to find a cheap 5.7AWD car for a long time- itd be an AWESOME donor to build a V8 Stealth!!
i got a 14 hemi police charger awhile back i had it 3 years never had any issues ran great maybe i was just lucky but i did change the oil every 3k miles.
That engine and transmission already needs to be rebuilt or replaced it's not worth even $8k i tell this as a advise from experienced shop worker that seen high engine hours cars
These usually get decommissioned around 100K. I’ve seen them go as far as 225K with no major issues
@@ENCAGED79so it depends then
@@XDMIIIIIIIII All depends on what you’re looking for. Me, I’d probably delete the mufflers, throw some quality tires on it and drive it til the wheels fall off 🤷🏽♂️
It’s definitely worth 8k even if it breaks down in a couple years id be fine with it
@@Chargersctpkit's not making it a year bro lmfao that car will be in shambles after some real driving for 6 months
As others have said, the idle hours are actual mileage would be concerns.
"It's got a column shift" this is an upgrade compared to those ret@rded dials.
My first car ever was a white decommissioned 2007 charger from a auction like you're talking about mine was from a government auction for only $4,500
Yes, but cops beat the living piss out of those cars. Thats why they're cheap.
They’re also maintained by your taxes lol. They have an infinite budget for maintenance. I bought my old CVPI at 225k miles and drove it until 275k and then sold it. Car ran fine
the problem is the rockers and cams are worn the hell out from sitting and idling for hours
Rockers ain’t nothing to replace when you’re paying 12k less than usual
@kyleball8068 good point but I'd have to pay out of pocket cause it out of my range of expertise😅
@@kyleball8068The cam and lifters are a bigger problem. Rockers are easy but the camshaft is a real job.

I had a 2001 Crown Vic Police Interceptor back in the day and when I tell you I never had a more reliable amazing car since. I miss my old baby, I’m looking in the market to buy one now. The early 2000 models were the best Vic’s in my opinion. 2000-2005. The 2005-2011 are alright but man I had many of these and the early ones were always the best.
I was literally flipping ex police cars for HELLA profit in highschool, i made a few grand a month for like two years flipping auction cars “legally” and about half of them were ppv or interceptor cars
Cop car prices are usually insanely overpriced. Some times you can find deals on very small municipal auctions for government fleet vehicles for other public services (parks and maintenance being one) that are older but cheaply priced. They’re still going to have very high idle hour’s typically albeit have some semblance of regular maintenance for the core things. The only way you’re getting a deal though is usually a very old undesirable car.
Everyone saying these high mileage/hour cars ain't worth it. P71 interceptor/taxis and Lincoln town cars out there w 500k 😂
I’ve yet to come across a car in my life with 500k miles and I’ve inspected cars for 3 years🤣
I had one with more miles for about 2 years back in 2018. No problems, thing ran like a champ. 🤷
I bought a used cop car. It was a 1989 Chevy Carpice. I bought in 1999. Had the internal red light, the door operated spot light and a V8 w/ supercharger. It was the fastest car I've evwr owned. It had the light mount on the roof but the light bar was gone. It was all white and still had the markings where the police Dept stickers used to be. Needless to say had a lot of heads turning and people slowing down around me.
Giving people false hope lol
… …jus cause you finally relized he got scammmneda!!!😂
You can find a lot of pursuit chargers with low miles this youtuber bought his for 14k and it only had 30k miles it was a parade car
I dont even have 8k to drop on the taxpayers finest
NEVER BUY AN OLD COP CAR!!!
Yeah yeah we know but don't care
Unless its 9c1 or p71
Nonsense. Retired P71 Crown Vics were a bargain.
Buying a old cop car. Is no different than buying any old car. I would absolutely buy a old cop car. If it was one used by a detective. And you can tell which one belonged to a detective. By the paint job. But a regular patrol car? Probably not
@@Peter-nm1psanyone I've heard from concerning a used cop car almost always say's it's one of the best cars they've ever had.
To all of you saying it's a bad option, it's really not. My bother has had his 2017 charger retired, and he's had it for a few years now. No major issues, and really decent car to have in Minnesota because of the AWD and the v8.
I have a 2014 dodge charger police and it runs golden passed emissions, new headlights , new transmission, new tires, brakes are super new and the last owner repainted it and added cool intake K & N ..and I got the car for $6k because the guy wanted a Hellcat. Sometimes you’ll find gems depending on where you live but I’m glad I got this car. If you’re not a car person it’s not for you anyway
They’re great, when they’re running right.
I'll bet it's got an easy 100K worth of Idle Hours on the motor... NO THANKS!
Clean interior, one careful driver, runs like new, very reliable.
Armored doors is pretty cool too !
How many hours on that engine?
Years.
Could probably pull it up with a scan tool.
@@dougfisher1813 It has a digital dash, so you should be able to just check in the menu.

@@Diabeetus.I don’t think u can check idle hours on the car itself. But a computer may be able too
Cop cars are ridden hard and put away wet their entire service life
A 6.4 or Hellcat swap on that AWD system would be pretty badass
Only ex police car I would buy is a Crown Vic, I’ve bought 3 of them. Cheap to maintain and easy to fix. The Charger, Explorer and Taurus on the other hand have notorious issues that aren’t cheap to repair.
lol, you nailed "classic used car salesman".
150k on odometer and 500k engine idle time.
I do agree the v8 and all wheel drive is pretty sweet, however the 5.7L hemi has a big problem with oil starvation at idle speeds, and that causes the lifters to start ticking and chewing up that camshaft. And because it's a retired cop car it has most likely spent a huge amount of time sitting at idle speed, so even though it doesn't have a crazy amount of mileage it will have a very high amount of engine hours, chances are that engine will need to be replaced soon.
Hell of a deal if it's reliable.
Helluva unit amirite
Not really.
"Reliable" and "Dodge" NEVER go together. Junk.
@@sixtomidnight1492 Every company has good and bad cars.
@@sixtomidnight1492my 2010 dodge ram 1500 has 230k miles bought it brand new. No problems but normal wear items. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Many dodge and ram vehicles have well over 300k miles. It's not the 1990s anymore.
I'm not sure I'd trust a newer car from these auctions, but my Ex-Cop Crown Vic was super cheap and still running perfectly with almost no money put into it for the years I've owned it!
I owned a old interceptor crown vic... LOVED IT! 9/10 times they are very well maintained by professional technicians w oem parts yes higher mileage can have more scratches and dents but mechanically are usually sound due to being maintained and fixed by dealerships quality and depending on models they are faster than stock and cheap example w the explorers that have interceptor on the hood are twin turbo v6 w a more powerful tune so take the explorer st and step it up a level or 2 for less than half the price... so if appearances don't bother u worth every penny
It's actually cool it has a colum shifter and awd with a V8, those are dope and rare
I bought mine luckily with only 7k miles. 2019 RWD V6 dodge charger. You just have to know what to look for. They are great vehicles! But these cars are beat to death. So when looking for one. Look for one with the lowest miles. Try to stay under 50k or even 35k never buy anything over 100k unless your willing to put money into it. But these cars are a blast to drive.
Sweet, the best man’s car ever,this car is going to be a legend when it’s long gone.
"EVERYTHING WORKS! Also, don't mind the missing center console or all the dangling wires." 150k miles and about a million hours idling; great "industry secret."
I almost thought that was a 6.2 liter hemi when he 1st showed the engine. Then he said it was all wheel drive AWD and I knew better. U gotta admit, that 5.7 looks huge both wide and high!
it probably looks bigger because of the AWD hardware underneath
These are great projects. And in some cases, good first cars lol
I’ve got a tip for you. Used cabs are super cheap too!
Column shift on a charger is badass. Reminds me of my dads old crown vic
Didn't know you were in CO, I'm almost 100% sure I'm the guy that decommissioned Wyoming HP AC1717. Probably still have half the parts that got taken off it. We built them, we strip them.
I've also wired a ton of factory center console shifters if you ever need/want one installed
That thing was probably ran through like a track meet… and probably ran through a couple of those as well.
But it would make an interesting base for a project car.
Buy 1 needing a motor or wrecked but not totaled...i got my rt for 1100 and spent about 3000 on it. Rebuilt the motor and had it fixed from 2 small crashes. And bought a 700 dollar parts car. Total maybe 4000 in it. Of course this was before 2020 when prices sky rocketed
True story , my buddy had bought a retired police car had a spot light and everything it was funny asf .. but only lasted him like 4-5 months , then the engine shit on him and locked up
You are a very brave man
Can’t speak for any other car but You can’t ever go wrong with crown Vic.
The column shift is really cool. Could some how figure out a way to make it a bench seat. Now that would be cool!
That would be a crazy awd sleeper
Bought a retired W body Impala from auction, 4K, if it wasn’t so cheap and only had 70k miles on it I would have never spent so much money on it
Get ready to throw in a new hemi. Odds are it has lifter tick. But you do have a chance to make a nice sleeper.
My buddy bought a 2014 ssv Tahoe with 200 + k miles and it turned out to be mint
This is not foreign or unknown in the DMV (D.C., MD, VA). Back in the day, you would see friends in high school pull up in these types of cars, specifically crown vic's
I got a 2013 ex cop explorer and boy is it a peice of work
I've been living in my car for almost 2years, still holding down a full time job etc. Wish I could get a car like this just for the space an how nice it is.
Clean title everything works. Just needs the top end of the engine rebuilt, trans rebuilt, and rhe rear ends clicking
Some are actually just detective cars and other municipal service cars, so you could potentially get a really good one
I own one, it had 150000 miles when I got it, got it for 10k only had hemi tick n been rocking w it for over 10k miles
In my state a ex police car automatically comes with a salvage title. I was getting ready to buy a crown Vic back in the day, and had that title. So I ask around and come to find out all of them have that title. Even at our auction they will tell you that those cars come with that title
I’d love to have an old charger just to mess with people. But seriously the idle time on those cars is insane I’d imagine you’d have a ton of mechanical issues. The Hemi cams don’t do well with long idle times.
I love the column shifter though
government auctions in the north east are very popular, and deals are rare.
Bro them idle hours are gonna be CRAZYYY 😂
I have one actually, bought it at 155k went to 225k still going strong only replaced fuel pump and water pump, rest was very minor.
I’m speaking from experience well worth the 9 k
My old man owned a garage that serviced yellow cab 🚖 mostly ex cop crown Victorias and most had well over 300k on the dash and still running great,don’t know about the chargers
these comments are why I keep getting em cheap lol. got a 2015 (50k miles) and a 2020 (70k miles)
My neighbor has an ex cop Chevy SS and it's a beast !!!
Any fleet vehicle will need a full engine rebuild due to the amount of idle time it's built up over the years, because at idle the lifters don't get as much oiling as it should.
The inside told me everything i needed to know 😂
the alternators are always dead because of all the extra electronics and they spend 90% of their lives at idle. also you used to be able to get crown vics for 500 like 30 of them every auction.
All these are good for are winter beaters
