The police by the way have a policy now of buying silver cars, better resale value

I also clocked one in Cheadle Hulme today - at a distance - sure it was white?
Actually looked quite cool

Your are right - plod likes silver - better residuals for a starship mileage hammered car
Wonder if they stop when the suspension bongs?

Ex-Police cars are often a good buy. Yes they're high mileage and often driven hard, but they are serviced very regularly to a high standard and as they are driven so much the engines rarely cool down fully. The first few minutes of running a cold engine is the time when most wear happens, before the oil has fully heated up and circulated through the entire engine. Friend of mine has an Ex-Police Omega with about 250k on the clock, it runs like it's done 25k!
The worst bit is normally all the holes in the dash where all the Police equipment used to liveThe End
