Hear from Our Customers
You’re not buying someone’s neglected trade-in. Police interceptors come from municipal fleets that maintained these vehicles on strict schedules because downtime wasn’t an option. These are Ford Police Interceptor Utility models and Ford Crown Interceptors that were serviced regularly, often with newer engines, transmissions, or tires installed before retirement.
The performance engineering is different too. Heavy-duty suspension, stronger steel wheels, reinforced structure, heavy-duty alternators. These weren’t built for grocery runs. They were built for pursuit-rated driving, which means you’re getting a vehicle designed to handle conditions most civilian cars never see.
Pricing starts at $3,500 with a nationwide average around $15,400. That’s significantly below what you’d pay for a comparable civilian vehicle with similar specs. You’re getting all-wheel drive capability, spacious SUV design, and power that ranges from 318 hp in the standard 3.3L hybrid to 400 hp in the available 3.0L EcoBoost. That’s not just transportation. That’s a vehicle that performs.
We specialize in one thing: quality government vehicles. Our owner, Carmen Yannuzzi, spent over twenty-five years in law enforcement. He recognized that well-maintained government vehicles going to auction could provide reliable transportation for people who don’t have big budgets but need dependable cars.
We’re located in Newark, NJ, serving buyers throughout the New York metro area including Freeport and Long Island. We don’t use pushy sales tactics because we don’t need to. Our inventory speaks for itself, and our 0% financing offer means everyone gets approved regardless of credit score.
You’re working with people who understand these vehicles from the inside. We know what municipal maintenance looks like. We know which departments take care of their fleets. And we know what makes a used patrol car worth buying versus one you should walk away from.
First, you browse our current inventory of police interceptors for sale. We carry Ford Police Interceptor Utility models, Ford Explorers with the police package, and other government fleet vehicles. Each listing shows you what you’re looking at: year, mileage, features, and price.
When you find something that fits, you come see it in person. No surprises, no bait-and-switch. You’re looking at actual one-owner government fleet vehicles that have been professionally maintained throughout their service life.
Financing is straightforward. We offer 0% interest regardless of your credit situation. That’s not a promotional rate with fine print. That’s how we do business. You tell us what works for your budget, and we figure out terms that make sense.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the paperwork and get you on the road. You’re not dealing with complicated dealer add-ons or extended warranty pitches. You’re buying a vehicle that was built to last and maintained to perform. That’s the transaction.

Our inventory focuses on Ford police interceptors because they dominate law enforcement sales across the U.S. and Canada for good reason. The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is the most common model you’ll see, based on the Explorer platform but heavily modified for police work. You’re looking at AWD capability, which matters when you’re dealing with New York weather conditions.
Fuel efficiency sits around 16 MPG city and 21 MPG highway for a combined 18 MPG. That’s reasonable for a vehicle this size with this much power. Safety features include design and testing to pass Ford’s 75 mph rear-impact crash test standard, which is significantly more demanding than civilian vehicle requirements.
Pricing in the Newark area where we’re located averages $13,978, with starting prices around $5,974 depending on year and mileage. Freeport buyers typically find our location convenient, about 30 miles away with straightforward access via the Southern State Parkway or Sunrise Highway.
You’re also getting vehicles that collectors and enthusiasts actively seek out. Police interceptors hold value because they’re not common in the civilian market, and the performance modifications make them desirable beyond just transportation. Some buyers are car enthusiasts. Others run security companies or taxi services. Many are just people who need reliable vehicles and recognize the value in a well-maintained fleet car.
This is the most common concern, and it’s fair to ask. Yes, police vehicles see demanding use. But they also receive maintenance that civilian vehicles rarely get.
Municipal fleets operate on strict service schedules because a broken-down patrol car creates real problems. Oil changes happen on time, every time. Brake inspections don’t get skipped. When components wear out, they get replaced with quality parts, not deferred until later. Many departments install newer engines, transmissions, or tires before retiring vehicles because it’s more cost-effective than dealing with breakdowns during service.
The durability engineering matters too. These aren’t standard Explorers with a paint job. They’re built with reinforced components specifically designed for pursuit-rated driving. Heavy-duty suspension, stronger alternators, enhanced cooling systems. The vehicles are literally engineered to handle stress that would damage civilian models. You’re buying something that was over-built for its purpose, not under-built and pushed to its limits.
The Police Interceptor Utility starts as an Explorer platform, then gets heavily modified. The suspension is completely different, with heavy-duty components designed for high-speed stability and durability. The wheels are stronger steel, not the alloy wheels on civilian models.
Under the hood, you’re looking at different engine calibrations and heavy-duty alternators that can handle the electrical load from lights, radios, computers, and other equipment. The cooling systems are enhanced because these vehicles idle for extended periods, which generates heat that standard cooling can’t handle efficiently.
The structure itself is reinforced. Door panels, frame components, and mounting points are strengthened. The electrical system is modified to support emergency equipment. Even the seats are different, designed for officers wearing duty belts with equipment. These modifications add up to a vehicle that’s fundamentally different from what you’d buy at a civilian Ford dealership, even though they look similar from the outside.
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing regardless of your credit score. Everyone gets approved.
This isn’t a promotional rate with income requirements and credit score minimums. It’s how we structure our sales. Many of our buyers are first-time car buyers, people rebuilding credit, or individuals who’ve been turned down by traditional lenders. We recognized that good people with real jobs often can’t access reasonable financing, so we built our business model differently.
You tell us what monthly payment works for your budget, and we figure out terms that make that happen. No credit check that tanks your score. No co-signer requirements. No hidden fees that inflate the actual cost. You’re paying 0% interest on the purchase price, and we’re transparent about what that total looks like before you commit to anything.
Most insurance companies will cover former police vehicles without issues, but you should call your insurer before buying to confirm. Some companies have specific policies about ex-police cars, and it’s better to know upfront than discover a problem after purchase.
The key is making sure all police equipment has been removed and the vehicle is properly titled as a civilian car, not a government vehicle. We handle that process, so you’re not buying a car with light bars and police decals still attached. It’s a civilian vehicle that used to be a police car, properly documented as such.
Some buyers actually find that insurance costs are reasonable because these vehicles have strong safety ratings and theft-deterrent history. Thieves generally avoid cars that look like they might be undercover police vehicles. But again, call your insurance company with the specific VIN before you buy. That five-minute conversation can save you headaches later.
Police vehicles typically have higher mileage than civilian cars of the same age. It’s common to see 80,000 to 120,000 miles on a vehicle that’s three to five years old. That sounds like a lot until you understand what those miles represent.
Highway miles are easier on vehicles than city miles. A significant portion of police vehicle mileage comes from highway patrol and routine driving, not constant stop-and-go traffic. Idle time also adds to the odometer without adding wear to the transmission and drivetrain. A vehicle that idled for hours during a shift accumulates mileage differently than one that was driven hard the entire time.
The maintenance history matters more than the number itself. A police interceptor with 100,000 professionally maintained miles is often in better mechanical condition than a civilian vehicle with 60,000 miles and inconsistent maintenance. You’re looking at vehicles where the oil was changed every 5,000 miles without exception, where brake inspections happened on schedule, and where problems were addressed immediately rather than ignored. That maintenance history is worth more than a lower odometer reading.
Our inventory changes regularly based on what’s available from government fleets, but we do carry both Ford Crown Interceptors and the newer Ford Police Interceptor Utility models when we can source them. The Crown Victoria-based interceptors are increasingly rare because Ford stopped production in 2011, and most have been retired from service by now.
The Crown Interceptors have a dedicated following among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the rear-wheel-drive V8 platform. They’re simpler mechanically than the newer models, which some buyers prefer. Parts are readily available, and many mechanics are familiar with working on them.
The newer Interceptor Utility models based on the Explorer platform are what most departments use now, so they’re more common in our inventory. They offer AWD, better fuel economy than the Crown Vic, more interior space, and modern safety features. Both are solid vehicles, just different approaches to the same job.
Your best bet is to check our current inventory or call us to ask what’s available. We can tell you exactly what we have on the lot right now and what might be coming in soon from departments we work with.
