Hear from Our Customers
You’re not buying a regular used car. You’re getting a Ford Police Interceptor Utility or Ford Explorer Police Interceptor that was engineered for pursuit duty—heavy-duty suspension, reinforced steel wheels, upgraded alternators, and cooling systems built to handle what most civilian vehicles never see.
These aren’t vehicles that sat in a driveway. They were maintained on strict municipal schedules because downtime wasn’t an option. That means documented service history and parts that were replaced before they failed, not after.
The Ford Interceptor for sale at our lot comes from government fleets we’ve sourced through over 25 years of law enforcement connections. We know which agencies maintain their vehicles properly and which ones to avoid. That knowledge matters when you’re spending your money.
We’ve spent over 15 years selling quality government vehicles in the Newark metro area, including West New York. Our owner, Carmen Yannuzzi, spent more than 25 years in law enforcement before opening this dealership—not because he needed a second career, but because he watched perfectly good police vehicles get auctioned off and knew regular buyers were getting priced out or stuck with dealers who didn’t understand what they were selling.
West New York sits in one of the most competitive used car markets in the region, where prices can swing wildly depending on who you’re buying from. We’re independently owned, which means we’re not answering to a corporate office about margin targets. Our job is straightforward: get you into a reliable vehicle without the financing games or the runaround.
You start by looking at what’s available. We stock Ford Crown Interceptors, Ford Explorer Police Interceptors, and Ford Police Interceptor Utility models depending on what’s come through our network. Each listing shows mileage, year, and what agency it came from.
Once you find something that fits your budget, you come see it in person. We’re not hiding anything—you’ll see the wear, the equipment mounts, the spotlight holes if they’re there. These were working vehicles. What matters is what’s under the hood and how it was maintained, and we’ll walk you through the service records.
Financing happens on-site. We offer 0% interest to everyone, regardless of credit score. No bank approvals, no waiting, no surprises three days later. You know your payment before you leave, and it doesn’t change.

We carry Ford Police Interceptor Utility models, which are the most common pursuit-rated vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. These are based on the Ford Explorer platform but built with law enforcement specs—AWD, upgraded brakes, reinforced frames, and electrical systems designed to run lights, radios, computers, and cameras simultaneously without draining the battery.
You’ll also find Ford Crown Interceptors when they come through our pipeline. These are the body-on-frame sedans that dominated police fleets for decades. They’re harder to find now, but when we get them, they move fast because of their reputation for durability and cheap parts availability.
West New York buyers tend to prioritize fuel economy and AWD capability given the weather and commuting patterns around here. The Ford Explorer Police Interceptor checks both boxes while giving you a vehicle that’s been tested in conditions most SUVs never see. Pricing starts well below retail market averages for comparable civilian models—usually thousands less—because we’re not paying dealer auction premiums or adding reconditioning markups.
Yes, but you need to understand why. Police impound cars for sale and retired government vehicles don’t go through traditional dealer channels, which means you’re not paying for lot overhead, advertising budgets, or the margin stacking that happens at franchise dealerships.
The nationwide average for a used Ford Police Interceptor Utility is around $15,400, but that varies based on mileage, year, and condition. In New Jersey—one of the cheaper states for used cars overall—you’re looking at even better pricing if you’re buying from a dealer who sources directly from government fleets instead of auctions.
We price based on what we paid plus a reasonable margin. No reconditioning fees, no “market adjustments,” no dealer add-ons. You’re getting a vehicle that was maintained by a municipal garage, not a private owner who may or may not have kept up with oil changes.
The Crown Interceptor is a body-on-frame sedan built on the Panther platform—the same one used for decades in taxi and police fleets. It’s rear-wheel drive, has a V8 engine, and is known for being nearly indestructible if maintained. Parts are cheap and widely available. The downside is fuel economy and the fact that Ford stopped making them in 2011, so you’re looking at older vehicles.
The Ford Explorer Police Interceptor is a unibody SUV based on the civilian Explorer but heavily modified. It’s AWD, has better fuel economy, more cargo space, and a higher seating position. It’s the vehicle that replaced the Crown Vic in most departments and is now the most common police vehicle in North America.
If you’re commuting in West New York and dealing with winter weather, the Explorer makes more sense. If you want something simpler and cheaper to maintain long-term, the Crown Vic is hard to beat—assuming you can find one in decent shape.
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing to every customer regardless of credit score. That’s not a promotional rate or a limited-time offer—it’s how we’ve structured our financing from the beginning.
Most used car buyers in 2024 were kept out of the market not because of vehicle prices, but because interest rates made monthly payments unaffordable. We removed that barrier entirely. Your payment is based purely on the vehicle price and the term length you choose, with no interest added on top.
There’s no credit check, no approval process, and no situation where you get pre-qualified at one rate and then hit with a higher one at signing. You’ll know your exact payment before you commit to anything, and it won’t change.
They’ve been used hard, but they’ve also been maintained on schedules that most private owners would never follow. Police departments can’t afford downtime, so they replace fluids, brakes, tires, and batteries based on mileage intervals, not when something breaks.
You’ll see cosmetic wear—scuffs on the doors, holes from equipment mounts, wear on the driver’s seat. The exterior might have decal shadows or spotlight brackets. None of that affects how the vehicle runs, but it does affect resale value, which is part of why the price is lower.
What you won’t typically see is deferred maintenance or hidden mechanical problems, because those vehicles get flagged and pulled from service before they’re sold. We source from agencies we’ve worked with for years, and we know which ones actually follow their maintenance protocols. That’s the advantage of buying from someone with a law enforcement background instead of a general used car lot.
The VIN will tell you. Police Interceptor models have specific VIN codes that identify them as fleet vehicles built to law enforcement specs. You can run the VIN through any decoder and see exactly what it was built as.
Beyond that, you’ll see physical differences—steel wheels instead of alloy, spotlight mounts, reinforced door panels, heavy-duty alternators, and upgraded cooling systems. The suspension sits differently, the brakes are larger, and the electrical system has additional capacity for emergency equipment.
We’re not in the business of misrepresenting vehicles. If it’s a civilian Explorer, we’d tell you—and price it accordingly. The whole reason people buy police interceptors is because of the upgraded components, and those upgrades are verifiable through the VIN, the build sheet, and a basic visual inspection.
Because auctions are full of professional dealers who know exactly what they’re looking for and how to assess a vehicle in under five minutes. You’re competing against people who do this for a living, and the good vehicles get bid up fast or go to dealers who have standing relationships with the auction house.
You also don’t get much information at auction—just mileage and maybe a fleet number. No test drive, no service records, no time to inspect anything thoroughly. You’re making a decision based on limited data and hoping you didn’t miss something expensive.
We handle that process for you. We source vehicles from agencies we’ve worked with for years, we review the maintenance records before we buy, and we only bring in vehicles that meet our standards. You get to see the service history, test drive the vehicle, and ask questions before you commit. And you’re financing at 0% instead of paying cash at auction or financing elsewhere at 8-12%.
