Hear from Our Customers
You’re not buying someone’s mystery trade-in with a questionable past. Every used cop car for sale in our inventory comes with documented institutional maintenance—meaning you know exactly how it was cared for, what work was done, and when.
These aren’t civilian vehicles that were babied on weekends. Ford Police Interceptor Utility models are built with reinforced subframes, heavy-duty cooling systems, and components designed for 24-hour operation. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how Ford has been building police package vehicles for over 70 years.
You get performance that civilian models don’t offer. The 3.0L EcoBoost delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The suspension, brakes, and drivetrain are all upgraded to handle pursuit driving. And because these vehicles were maintained by municipal fleets with budgets and schedules, you’re looking at service records most used cars will never have.
We focus exclusively on used patrol cars for sale—Ford Police Interceptor Utility models, Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, and other retired law enforcement vehicles. We’re located in Newark, serving buyers throughout Toms River and the surrounding New Jersey area.
We’re independently owned and operated. No pressure, no gimmicks. We offer zero-interest financing regardless of credit score because we know these vehicles sell themselves once you understand what you’re actually getting.
Toms River has one of the highest rates of car ownership in New Jersey—98.5% of residents commute by personal vehicle. You need something reliable, and you don’t want to overpay. That’s exactly why we stock what we stock.
Start by browsing our current inventory of cop cars for sale. Every listing includes photos, mileage, service records, and vehicle history. You’re not guessing what you’re looking at—you’re seeing the full picture upfront.
Once you find a Ford Police Interceptor Utility or patrol car that fits what you need, reach out. We’ll walk you through the details, answer your questions, and set up a time for you to see it in person. No sales pitch, just straight answers.
Financing is available with zero interest, and we work with all credit situations. We give you more for your trade-in and sell our vehicles for less because we’re not a franchise dealership with overhead to cover. Once everything’s set, you drive home in a vehicle that was built to last and maintained to a standard most used cars never see.

Our inventory rotates, but we consistently stock Ford Police Interceptor Utility models—the SUV that’s replaced sedans in most police fleets across the country. You’ll also find Crown Victoria Police Interceptors and other pursuit-rated vehicles depending on availability.
Every vehicle comes with its full maintenance file. That means documented oil changes, brake services, tire rotations, and any repairs performed while in service. Most were maintained by certified municipal fleet technicians on a schedule, not when something broke.
Pricing starts as low as $3,500 depending on year, mileage, and condition. The nationwide average for a used Police Interceptor Utility is around $15,400—well below what you’d pay for a comparable civilian SUV. In Toms River, where the median household income is $95,759 and most families own two vehicles, that value matters.
You’re also getting features civilian models don’t have: upgraded alternators, heavy-duty battery systems, reinforced door hinges, and cooling systems designed for extended idle time. These aren’t luxuries—they’re the reason these vehicles hold up under conditions that would destroy a standard car.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is based on the Explorer platform, but it’s not the same vehicle. Ford adds structural reinforcements to the front subframe, upgrades the powertrain mounts, and installs heavy-duty wheels rated for pursuit driving.
The cooling system is completely different. You get a larger radiator, an engine oil cooler, a transmission fluid cooler, and police-calibrated fan settings that handle long idle periods without overheating. Civilian Explorers aren’t built for that.
The suspension, brakes, and electrical system are all upgraded. The alternator is higher output to support emergency equipment. The battery is commercial-grade. Even the door hinges are reinforced. Ford has been building police package vehicles since 1950, and the Police Interceptor Utility represents over 70 years of that engineering focus on durability, safety, and performance.
Yes, and often more reliable than civilian used cars—if they were maintained properly. That’s why the maintenance records matter so much, and why every vehicle we sell comes with full documentation.
Police vehicles are maintained on a schedule, not when something goes wrong. Oil changes happen every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Brakes, tires, and fluids are inspected regularly. Any issue gets addressed immediately because these vehicles can’t be out of service.
The components themselves are built tougher. Ford designs Police Interceptors to withstand a 75-mph rear impact—a standard no civilian vehicle is tested to. The powertrain is covered by a 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty when new, and many of the vehicles we sell are still within or close to that coverage window. You’re buying a vehicle that was built to handle extreme use and maintained by professionals with budgets and accountability.
Yes. We offer zero-interest financing regardless of your credit score. Around 75% of used car buyers finance their purchase, and we’ve structured our financing to make it straightforward and accessible.
You’re not dealing with a big dealership that marks up financing or plays games with interest rates. We’re independently owned, and our goal is to get you into a vehicle that works for your budget without unnecessary complications.
If you have a trade-in, we’ll give you a fair value for it—typically more than larger dealers because we don’t have the same overhead. The process is transparent from start to finish. You’ll know what you’re paying, what your monthly payment is, and what the terms are before you sign anything.
Most retired police vehicles have higher mileage than typical used cars—anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 miles depending on the department and how long the vehicle was in service. But mileage alone doesn’t tell the full story.
Highway miles are easier on a vehicle than city miles. Idle time adds to the hour meter but not the odometer. A police vehicle with 100,000 miles that spent most of its time on highway patrol is often in better shape than a civilian car with 60,000 city miles and inconsistent maintenance.
What matters more is how the vehicle was maintained and what condition it’s in now. That’s why we provide full service records and let you inspect everything before you buy. You’re not guessing about the vehicle’s history—you’re looking at documented proof of how it was cared for. Ford Police Interceptors are also designed to last well beyond 100,000 miles when maintained correctly, which is exactly how these vehicles were treated.
Not compared to a compact sedan, but they’re competitive with other full-size SUVs. The Ford Police Interceptor Utility with the 3.0L EcoBoost gets around 16-18 mpg city and 23-25 mpg highway depending on driving conditions and whether it’s all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive.
The all-wheel-drive models are more popular because they handle better in all weather conditions, but they do use slightly more fuel. If fuel economy is your top priority, a Police Interceptor probably isn’t your best option. But if you want a vehicle that’s powerful, durable, and capable, the fuel economy is reasonable for what you’re getting.
These vehicles were designed for performance and durability first. The 3.0L EcoBoost delivers 400 horsepower and can reach a top speed of 148 mph. That kind of power comes with a trade-off at the pump, but you’re also getting a vehicle that can tow, handle rough conditions, and last significantly longer than most civilian alternatives.
A few reasons. First, they usually have higher mileage, which lowers the resale value even though the vehicles are often in excellent mechanical condition. Second, they don’t have the luxury features buyers expect in civilian models—no leather seats, sunroofs, or premium sound systems.
Third, there’s a perception issue. Some buyers assume a retired police vehicle has been “beat up” or driven hard, so demand is lower and prices reflect that. But if you understand what you’re actually getting—a purpose-built vehicle with documented maintenance and heavy-duty components—the value is hard to beat.
Municipalities also sell these vehicles in volume when they retire them from service, which keeps prices competitive. The nationwide average for a used Police Interceptor Utility is around $15,400, with some starting as low as $3,500 depending on condition and mileage. Compare that to a civilian Ford Explorer with similar mileage, and you’re saving thousands—often for a vehicle that’s mechanically superior.
