Do the police look after their cars quite well while they own them?

didnt know it was an ex police when i got it, i did pull the roof lining down suspecting it but there was no sign of a roof light that had been filled in. untill my bro damo seen a pic with lights at the back he pulled the roof lining down and found where it had been filled then the car lasted abt 2 wks after that. lucky realy as i was gunna have it painted pink for kerry my misses would of pissed me off knowing it used to be a police car.

Completely disagree...

They get driven hard and ragged chasing people. They also get driven up kerbs and over speed bumps at BIG speed! etc etc.

They are normally very tired when they are finished being police cars.

Do you think the policeman has a chance or time to nicely warm the car up before thrashing life out of it?

they are abused but they are looked after, money is no object and the slightest problem is noted and fixed without a second thought.
