hi i have noticed this range rover for sale its a 57 plate at a great price , would you's own a ex cop car?
i think there should be no problems exept for mileage http://motors.thisisthesentinel.co.uk/car-...d=19733766

Can't really go wrong. Its under warranty until December with land rover plenty of time to iron out any problems. You should call the transport depot of the owning force and ask them what work its had. They should tell you if it's had an engine or box. Looks like a bargain to me...

Whites all the rage again as well

ive got a 4.4 se facelift 55 plate silver model just now ,i was thinking of selling mine and buying this ,just an idea

You cant argue with the price. Plus if it's been owned by GMP then they only use these on the motorway (and firearms but they're bullet proof!). Should be light use.

Don't forget that if it IS ex Police then the dashboard will have holes and gaps in it where all the ancillary equipment was mounted. Looks like the front bumper and grill have been replaced as these will have had additional lighting in them too. Worth checking the condition of the roof, who wants a car with bunged holes in the roof? Discovery 4 HSE

White is currently popular so it wouldnt put me off but wouldnt be my first choice colour for a FFRR although RRS owners love white

Re the Dash holes, i think there are products out there that fill them

Don't do it!!! 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

what, fill the dash holes or buy it?

there are no holes at all

I told you!

They're pretty careful to try and not devalue the car these days. I've noticed on a lot of the high end stuff now the lighting bars are fitted on the roof bars to avoid holes altogether.

Noddys just being cynical! I would take each car on merit. It's under warranty after all and they do tend to look after traffic cars much better. I wouldn't however touch any general patrol stuff (astra's etc) they get treated like and are raced 24 hours a day!

Funny you should mention that, Northumbria used to use 1.4 Focus CL's as the normal panda cars and they seemed to go everywhere in 2nd gear. You'd often hear them screaming along the road only to be doing about 30

Stupidly, a mate of mine bought on, it was totally shagged, looked like it'd been a hire car used as a taxi and driven by a 17 year old. Mind you, it was cheap. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

If it was used for motorway work, mileage aside, you must bear in mind it would have been used to tow.

Sometimes to shift some pretty heavy stuff to the hard shoulder to clear a motorway in an emergency

It is certainly a looker though, but those are non-standard RR Sport wheels and tyres on there.

No harm in going to have a proper look though; let us know how you get on

Remember - it is cheap for a reason, and come resale time, you will have a job getting much dollar for it yourself. Java with Ivory 2006 4.2 Supercharged. 23.5k miles - NOW SOLD!
