Most used Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles sell between $5,000 and $15,000. Compare that to civilian Ford Explorers starting above $20,000, and you’re looking at serious savings for a vehicle that was built tougher from the factory.
These aren’t stripped-down fleet cars. Ford Interceptors come with reinforced frames, upgraded braking systems, heavy-duty suspension, and pursuit-rated crash protection. The Police Interceptor Utility hits 60 mph in 5.68 seconds and tops out at 148 mph—making it the fastest gas-powered police vehicle on the road.
You’re getting a vehicle designed for high-stress situations, maintained on strict service schedules, and retired at mileage milestones typically between 75,000 and 100,000 miles. That’s a lot of life left when you consider how they were cared for.
State Surplus Auto Sales is run by Carmen Yannuzzi, who spent over 25 years in law enforcement before opening this dealership. That means you’re buying from someone who knows exactly how these vehicles were used, maintained, and what to look for when they’re decommissioned.
We’ve been in business since 2003, connecting people in the Newark metro area—including Teaneck—with quality government vehicles at prices that make sense. Teaneck’s median household income sits around $144,000, and residents here understand value. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You want something reliable that doesn’t waste your money.
That’s exactly what a well-maintained Ford Explorer police interceptor delivers.
First, you browse what’s available. Our inventory rotates based on what’s been decommissioned, so if you see a Ford Interceptor you like, it’s worth acting on.
Once you find a vehicle, you can review its history. Police departments keep detailed records—oil changes, inspections, mileage logs. You’re not guessing about how it was treated.
Financing is straightforward. We offer 0% interest financing to all customers, regardless of credit score. No games, no surprises.
Before the vehicle leaves, we make sure it complies with New Jersey law. That means all police markings, decals, and emergency equipment are removed. You’re getting a clean, road-ready vehicle that just happens to have a performance pedigree most civilian cars can’t match.

The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is the best-selling police vehicle in the United States. It’s not a niche product—it’s the standard. Departments choose it because it works, and it keeps working.
You’re looking at a vehicle with a pursuit-rated 75-mph rear-impact crash test rating. That means the fuel and battery systems stay intact even in severe collisions. You’re also getting advanced safety features like reinforced frames, additional airbags, and braking systems designed for emergency stops.
In Teaneck and across Bergen County, drivers want vehicles that handle well in all conditions. The Interceptor’s all-wheel-drive system and heavy-duty suspension were built for that. Whether you’re commuting down Route 4 or heading into the city, you’ve got a vehicle that responds.
And here’s something most people don’t realize: these cars aren’t uncomfortable. Yes, they were built for police work, but the driving experience is surprisingly smooth. You’re not sacrificing comfort for performance.
Most used police interceptors, including the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Ford Explorer police interceptor models, sell between $5,000 and $15,000. That’s significantly less than comparable civilian vehicles, which typically start above $20,000.
The exact price depends on mileage, model year, and condition. Police vehicles are usually decommissioned between 75,000 and 100,000 miles, which sounds like a lot—but these are highway miles with professional maintenance. They’re not city beaters that sat idling for hours or were neglected between oil changes.
You’re paying less upfront and getting a vehicle that was built stronger from the factory. That’s the value proposition.
Yes. Law enforcement agencies maintain these vehicles on strict schedules because they can’t afford breakdowns. Oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations—everything happens by the book.
When a department decommissions a vehicle, you can request the maintenance records. You’ll see exactly when it was serviced and what was done. That level of transparency is rare in the used car market.
These aren’t vehicles that were driven hard and forgotten. They were driven hard and maintained even harder. There’s a difference, and it shows up in how long they last after they leave the fleet.
A Ford Police Interceptor Utility starts as a Ford Explorer, then gets upgraded. You’re looking at a reinforced frame, heavy-duty suspension, larger brake rotors, upgraded cooling systems, and a calibrated engine built for pursuit driving.
The Interceptor hits 60 mph in 5.68 seconds and has a top speed of 148 mph. It’s the fastest gas-powered police vehicle available. Civilian Explorers aren’t built for that kind of performance.
You also get pursuit-rated crash protection, which means the vehicle passed a 75-mph rear-impact test. The fuel system, battery, and critical components stay intact even in severe collisions. That’s not standard in civilian models.
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing to all customers, regardless of credit score. That’s not a promotional rate or a limited-time offer—it’s how we do business.
Car buying is stressful enough without worrying about interest piling up. We keep it simple so you can focus on finding the right vehicle instead of navigating financing hurdles.
If you’ve been turned down elsewhere or you’re working on rebuilding credit, that doesn’t matter here. You get the same financing terms as everyone else.
No. Police impound cars are civilian vehicles that were towed or seized—they weren’t used by the department. A police interceptor is a vehicle that was actively driven by law enforcement, built to police specifications, and maintained by the department.
Impound cars can be anything: sedans, trucks, economy cars. Their history varies wildly, and you often don’t know how they were treated before impound. Police interceptors, on the other hand, have documented service records and were maintained professionally throughout their service life.
If you’re looking for a Ford Interceptor for sale, you want a vehicle that was used by police—not one that was taken from someone else. The difference matters.
No. New Jersey law requires that all police markings, decals, and emergency equipment be removed before the vehicle is sold. We handle that before you take delivery.
You’re not responsible for stripping light bars, repainting doors, or removing radio mounts. The vehicle leaves our lot ready to register and drive legally.
Some buyers worry about leftover equipment or whether they’ll get pulled over for looking like an unmarked car. That’s not an issue. By the time you’re behind the wheel, it’s a clean vehicle with no law enforcement identifiers.
