Hear from Our Customers
You’re looking at vehicles built for performance and durability. These aren’t your typical used cars—they’re Ford police interceptor utility models that handled real work under demanding conditions.
Every used patrol car for sale in our inventory was maintained on a government schedule. That means regular oil changes, brake checks, and the kind of upkeep most private owners skip. You get a vehicle that’s been cared for properly, not run into the ground.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility gives you all-wheel drive, spacious SUV design, and fuel efficiency that works for daily driving—16 MPG city, 21 highway. You’re not sacrificing practicality for performance. These vehicles were designed to run all day, every day, and they hold up.
State Surplus Auto Sales is owned by Carmen Yannuzzi, who spent over 25 years in law enforcement. He knows exactly what makes a good cop car—and what doesn’t. That experience matters when you’re choosing inventory and evaluating condition.
We’ve been selling used police cars and government vehicles in the Newark metro area for over 15 years. Our location on Broadway puts us right in the heart of East Orange, Newark, and the surrounding Essex County communities. We’re independently owned, and we don’t play the financing games that bigger dealerships use to jack up your monthly payment.
Zero percent interest financing isn’t a promotion. It’s how we do business, every day, for every customer. Your credit score doesn’t change that.
Start by looking through our inventory online. You’ll see detailed photos and vehicle information for every Ford interceptor for sale. If something catches your eye, give us a call or stop by our location in East Orange.
When you visit, you can walk the lot, sit in the vehicles, and ask whatever questions you have. We’re not going to rush you or pressure you into a decision. You’ll get straight answers about mileage, condition, and what each vehicle includes.
Once you’ve picked your police interceptor, we handle the financing. Because we offer 0% interest to everyone, there’s no credit check runaround or waiting for approval. We get your paperwork done, and you drive off the lot the same day in most cases.
The whole process is designed to be simple. You’re not filling out applications with five different lenders or sitting in an office for three hours. You pick the car, we write it up, and you’re done.

Our inventory focuses on Ford Police Interceptor Utility models from recent years—typically 2015 to 2021. These are the SUV-style interceptors, not the sedan Crown Victorias from years back. You’re getting modern vehicles with updated safety features, better fuel economy, and more interior space.
Every used cop car for sale comes with all-wheel drive as standard. That matters in East Orange winters when roads get slick. You’re not stuck with front-wheel drive hoping for the best.
Pricing starts around $5,974 and averages $13,978 depending on year, mileage, and condition. That’s thousands below what you’d pay for a comparable civilian SUV with similar mileage. The market data backs this up—we’re consistently below the national average for these vehicles.
You won’t find pushy sales tactics here. We’re car people who happen to specialize in government vehicles, and we’d rather give you the information you need than try to close you with pressure. East Orange buyers come back because we’re transparent about what we have and what it costs.
Yes. We don’t run your credit, and we don’t change your interest rate based on your score. Every customer gets zero percent interest, whether you’ve got a 500 credit score or an 800.
Most dealerships use financing as their profit center. They sell you the car at one price, then make their real money on the interest over five years. We don’t operate that way. The price you see is what you pay, and we’re not adding interest on top.
This isn’t a special promotion or a limited-time offer. It’s how we’ve structured our business for years. If you’ve been turned down elsewhere or quoted interest rates in the double digits, you’ll get approved here. We’ve sold vehicles to first-time buyers, people rebuilding credit after bankruptcy, and customers with no credit history at all.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is built on the Explorer platform, but it’s not identical to what you’d buy at a Ford dealership. The interceptor comes with a more heavy-duty cooling system, upgraded brakes, reinforced suspension, and a calibrated powertrain designed for pursuit driving and idling for long periods.
You’re also getting all-wheel drive as standard, not as an option. The electrical system is beefed up to handle additional equipment, and the body structure includes reinforcements that aren’t on civilian models. These changes make the vehicle more durable under stress.
The interior is more basic—you won’t have leather seats or a panoramic sunroof. But the mechanical components are stronger, and that’s what matters for longevity. These vehicles were built to run hard and last, which is exactly what you want in a used vehicle.
Government fleets maintain their vehicles on strict schedules. That’s not optional—it’s policy. Every oil change, tire rotation, and brake inspection happens on time, documented, and performed by certified technicians.
The vehicles we sell come from departments that take care of their equipment. You’re not getting cars that were beaten up and neglected. Most departments retire vehicles based on age or mileage targets, not because something broke. A five-year-old interceptor with 80,000 miles still has plenty of life left.
We inspect every vehicle before it goes on our lot. If something needs attention, we address it or price accordingly. You’re not buying sight unseen from an auction. You can look at the vehicle, test drive it, and see exactly what condition it’s in before you commit.
Our inventory typically ranges from around $5,974 on the low end to $13,978 for newer models with lower mileage. That’s significantly below what you’d pay for a comparable civilian SUV with the same year and miles.
Pricing depends on the model year, mileage, and overall condition. A 2015 with 100,000 miles will cost less than a 2019 with 60,000 miles. We’re transparent about pricing—what you see listed is what you’ll pay, and we’re not adding dealer fees or surprise charges at signing.
For comparison, the national average for used Ford Police Interceptor Utility models is $13,978, and many dealers are asking more. We’re consistently below that because we buy directly from government sources and keep our overhead low. You’re getting below-market pricing without sacrificing quality.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility gets 16 MPG in city driving and 21 MPG on the highway. That’s respectable for a full-size all-wheel-drive SUV, especially one with this much power under the hood.
You’re not going to match a compact sedan’s fuel economy, but you’re also not driving a gas-guzzling V8 from 15 years ago. These are modern engines with direct injection and variable valve timing. They’re designed to balance performance with efficiency.
For daily commuting around East Orange and the Newark area, you’ll spend less on gas than you might expect. The highway mileage makes longer trips reasonable too. If fuel economy is a major concern, these vehicles hit a good middle ground between power and practicality.
We provide detailed vehicle information for every car on our lot. You can see photos, mileage, year, and condition notes on our website before you visit. When you come in, we’ll walk you through what we know about each vehicle’s history.
Government fleet vehicles come with maintenance logs that track service intervals. While we don’t always get every single record from the department, we can tell you what maintenance was performed and when. You’re not buying blind.
If you want to run your own vehicle history report, we’ll give you the VIN upfront. We’re not hiding anything. You can check for accidents, title issues, or anything else that matters to you. Transparency is part of how we operate—you should know exactly what you’re buying before you sign.
