Ex-Police car for sale in the Puget Sound area, that really must be a gun-humpers dream. Check....

.....out the second and third photos in the CraigsList ad to see the "custom gun locker". I would hope (but truly can't be sure) that the firearms are not included in the sale. Mind you this is the sane part of my state, the part that elects good, progressive Dems every year, despite the deranged lot over the mountains in my part of WA. Closer you get to Idaho, the more nuts in the fruitcake.

You have no idea what was really done to the vehicle to repair it, especially if it was self-insured though a leasing, fleet rental or government agency. Some of the electronics or safety equipment might not work.

With cars trying to be sold from a dealership, they often use mules to sell the cars, that remove the dealership from the early transaction & initial inspection process. The person you meet will not be the actual title holder. When that happens, you know you are buying a pile of shit that no auto-selling business wants to be associated with. You'd need to ask if the seller possesses the title. If not, who does and when will you meet them. It might also be a way to set up the seller to rob them, by asking for a deposit or payment that cannot be traced. The title might be bogus. That phone could also be a burner phone.

1965 Ford Custom. Stick on the column. Interceptor engine (probably a 406). Built like a tank. Heavy duty everything. Sadly I had to sell it to my BIL when I went into the Navy. I would love to get one of the Police Mustangs that were around a few years back. A retired NY State policeman told me they were great to drive.
