Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting a used car. You’re getting a Ford Police Interceptor Utility or patrol vehicle that was professionally maintained by a government fleet—one owner, documented history, and built to handle conditions most civilian cars never see.
These vehicles were designed for high-performance driving, long idle hours, and daily abuse. Heavy-duty alternators, reinforced frames, upgraded cooling systems, and pursuit-rated engines. That’s what you’re buying into.
And because we source directly from law enforcement agencies across New Jersey, you’re not paying dealer markups or auction fees. You’re getting fleet pricing on vehicles that were built to outlast regular consumer models. That’s the difference between buying a used cop car and buying any other used car in Hackensack.
We’ve been selling government fleet vehicles since 2003. We work directly with police departments and municipal agencies to source Ford Crown Interceptors, Ford Police Interceptor Utility models, and other patrol cars before they hit public auction.
That means you get first access to inventory that most people in Hackensack never see. We’re not flippers or hobbyists—we’re a licensed dealer with two decades of relationships in the fleet vehicle world. And we offer 0% interest financing to every customer, regardless of credit score, because we know how hard it is to find affordable, dependable transportation in North Jersey.
First, you check our current inventory online or stop by our location at 833 Broadway in Newark, just minutes from Hackensack. We update our stock regularly as new vehicles come in from local departments, so if you don’t see what you want today, check back soon.
When you find a police interceptor for sale that fits your needs, you can schedule a time to see it in person. Walk around it. Sit in it. Ask questions. We’ll show you the vehicle history, mileage, and any cosmetic issues up front—no surprises.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle financing on-site. You’ll get 0% interest no matter what your credit looks like. We don’t run you through a dozen banks or make you wait days for approval. You work with us directly, and we keep it simple. After that, you’re driving home in a used patrol car that’s built tougher than anything else in its price range.

Most of what we sell are Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles—basically the law enforcement version of the Ford Explorer. These are AWD, V6-powered SUVs with room for five adults and cargo space that beats most sedans. They’re popular with rideshare drivers, small business owners, and families who need a second vehicle that can take a beating.
We also carry Ford Crown Interceptors when we can get them. These are the classic rear-wheel-drive sedans that dominated police fleets for decades. They’re getting harder to find, but when they come through, they move fast. If you’re looking for that old-school cop car feel, this is it.
Hackensack drivers love these vehicles because they’re practical. You’re not buying a project car or a luxury sedan. You’re buying something that works, handles New Jersey roads and weather, and doesn’t cost a fortune to keep running. Parts are cheap and easy to find. Insurance is straightforward. And if you’re using it for work—delivery, rideshare, or contractor use—it holds up better than most alternatives.
Prices vary based on mileage, age, and condition, but you’re generally looking at $3,000 to $12,000 for most of our inventory. That’s well below what you’d pay for a comparable civilian SUV or sedan with similar specs.
The reason the price is lower isn’t because the vehicle is junk. It’s because these cars come from government fleets that turn over inventory on a schedule, not based on condition. A Ford Police Interceptor Utility with 100,000 miles might still have years of life left, but the department replaces it anyway. That’s where you benefit.
We price based on what we paid, not what the retail market says it’s worth. You’re not walking into a dealership where the sticker price is inflated so they can “negotiate” down. You’re getting a fair number from the start, and if you need financing, we offer 0% interest to everyone.
Expect to see mileage between 80,000 and 150,000 miles on most used patrol cars. That sounds like a lot, but these vehicles are built for it. Police fleets run regular checks and keep detailed logs, so you’re not buying a mystery.
The bigger thing to understand is idle hours. A cop car might sit running for hours during a shift, which doesn’t show up on the odometer but does add engine wear. That’s why we’re upfront about what you’re getting. These aren’t low-mileage garage queens. They’re work vehicles.
But here’s the thing: a police interceptor with 120,000 miles is not the same as a regular Explorer with 120,000 miles. The police version has a heavy-duty cooling system, a stronger transmission, and better brakes. It was designed to run hard and keep going. If you’re worried about longevity, ask us about the specific vehicle you’re looking at. We’ll walk you through its history.
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing to every customer, no matter what your credit score looks like. You don’t need perfect credit, a cosigner, or a huge down payment. We work with you directly—no third-party lenders, no runaround.
This is one of the biggest reasons people choose to buy from us instead of trying to win a vehicle at auction. Auctions are cash-only, and most people in Hackensack don’t have $8,000 sitting around. We get that. So we built a financing program that actually makes sense for working people.
You’ll fill out a short application, we’ll go over the numbers with you, and if it works, you drive home the same day. It’s straightforward, and there are no hidden fees or surprise interest rates down the line. Zero percent means zero percent.
Not usually, but it’s smart to call your insurance company before you buy. Some carriers get nervous about former police vehicles and may ask more questions or adjust your rate slightly. Others treat them like any other used Ford.
The key is being upfront with your agent. Let them know you’re buying a decommissioned patrol car, and ask if there are any coverage restrictions. Most of the time, you’ll be fine. These vehicles are titled as regular cars once they leave the fleet, so legally, they’re no different than any other used car for sale in Hackensack.
If your current insurer gives you a hard time, shop around. There are plenty of carriers in New Jersey that insure former cop cars without issue. And because parts are cheap and the vehicles are common, your rates might even be lower than you’d expect for an SUV.
The Ford Crown Interceptor is the old-school sedan—rear-wheel drive, V8 engine, body-on-frame construction. It’s what you picture when you think “cop car.” Ford stopped making them in 2011, so they’re harder to find now, but they’re still popular with collectors and people who want that classic feel.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is the modern replacement. It’s based on the Ford Explorer, so it’s an AWD SUV with a V6 engine (or optional V8 in some years). It has more cargo space, better handling in snow and rain, and it’s what most departments use today. If you need room for gear, kids, or work equipment, this is the better choice.
Both are tough, both are reliable, and both are cheaper to run than most civilian vehicles in their class. It really comes down to what you need. If you want a sedan and can find a Crown Vic in good shape, grab it. If you need an SUV, go with the Utility. We’ll help you figure out what makes sense based on what’s in stock.
It depends on when local departments retire their fleets, but we typically get new vehicles every few weeks. Police departments in New Jersey don’t auction off cars on a set schedule—it happens when they’re ready to rotate inventory, and we’re one of the first calls they make.
If you’re looking for something specific, like a certain year or model of Ford Police Interceptor Utility, let us know. We can keep an eye out and give you a heads-up when one comes in. A lot of our customers in Hackensack do that, especially if they’re looking for lower mileage or a particular color.
The best move is to check our website regularly or stop by in person. Inventory moves fast, especially on the cleaner units, so if you see something you like, don’t wait a week to come look at it. These vehicles are priced to sell, and they do.
