hey guys, my sheriffs office has had some bad luck this past month. Had two cars rammed in a chase and totaled and found out they only have liability coverage (older crown Vic's, which that's all we have) and two mechanical that's gonna cost big money. We are a small department of only 8 full time deputies and work a lot of part time guys.

We are needing some cars bad and really need them already equipped but doesn't have to be. ANYTHING from Crown Vic's to Tahoes. We don't have a lot of money and can't afford the whole Kansas HP used fleet car prices. If you have something or know of a way to help me find something please let me know. have contacted most all departments around me but they run them into non working condition pretty much.

I'm not trying to ask for a handout just needing help finding cheaper used vehicles. Anywhere from 1 to 3 Atleast.

My cell is 662-552-2660 & email is fireman616wfd@yahoo.com

You can message me on either of those or inbox me here.

Thanks!
Casey

try Missouri State Highway Patrol General Headquarters in Jefferson City MO. They sell all their cars off to agencies. All are about 2 yrs old with average mileage of 54k. Hemi Chargers mainly and some Tahoes and new Ford Interceptors both sedan and suv

forgot about them but I think you'd be surprised at the prices MSHP sells their newer units for. ;)

will most likely NOT be equipped and you will most likely have to travel. Try publicsurplus.com. Register; go to motor pool, police. Agencies throught america sell them. If you are looking in the 6k range. Look at wyoming and montana. They mostly sell 2013's for around 6k. Good luck. VA lists a lot as well.

I have been searching on there... That place scared me though! Seems like a lot of junk on there.

Wouldnt say all of it is junk. I know an area small town that has bought fully equipped cars on there and they keep them for a good bit of time. Right now, you are in a tough spot.

copcarsonline is somewhat local to us. They usually make sure their cars are pretty on point

2010 Police Charger Hemi , 74k on it. I bought it with 14 miles on it, was my daily driver and has never seen police duty. Brand new front suspension and a kickass sound system lol. The one in my icon.
