Looking at a car. Should I consider it, or walk away?
12th May 2011
Hey there,
I live in Newfoundland and was just looking at a 2007 police interceptor for sale and I need some guidance since this will be the first car I have ever owned. Note that I have not done a test drive yet. Here are the details I have so far.
- 170,000 KM
- Starts without any problems
- Did not smell burning oil or anything else.
- Cracked front windshield (not too bad, but a 0 repair)
- Trunk opens using the button inside, but can’t use key on outside lock.
- AM/FM radio out of socket on the floor, with wires running under the cigarette lighter for some reason.
- Rust on bottom of driver’s front fender between wheel well and door.
- Rust along rocker panel on both sides of car from driver’s door to the back.
- The rest of undercarriage and frame looks in good shape.
- Taxi company owner just acquired it from an auction and had the car at a body shop to be painted (this is where I was looking at it).
- CLEAN Car-fax report with no issues reported.
The owner wants 00 for the car. Should I walk away from this one completely, or bring the price down?

Sounds like it has been rode a little hard and put away wet a few times. However since it is a police car the maintenance has probably been kept up, so it may well be a decent car, with some signs of age and wear.
Take it for a drive and take it to a mechanic for a mechanical inspection and then decide but I would always try to get the price down some!
