Hear from Our Customers
You get a Ford Police Interceptor Utility that was designed to pass a 75-mph rear collision test while civilian models only have to meet 50-mph standards. That’s not marketing—that’s structural reinforcement you can’t buy as an add-on.
These aren’t stripped-down fleet vehicles. You’re looking at pursuit-rated engines, heavy-duty transmissions, enhanced cooling systems, and police-grade suspension components. Standard all-wheel drive on every unit. The kind of drivetrain setup that costs thousands more on a civilian Explorer.
The Ford Interceptor for sale in our inventory has already proven itself. Most were maintained on strict fleet schedules with regular oil changes, brake checks, and system diagnostics. You’re not gambling on how the previous owner treated it. You know exactly what these vehicles went through because they were government-owned and documented.
State Surplus Auto Sales was started by Carmen Yannuzzi, a career law enforcement officer with over 25 years on the job. He watched quality, regularly maintained government vehicles go to auction and knew they’d make reliable pre-owned vehicles for people who needed solid transportation without the inflated price tag.
We’ve been selling police car sales inventory in Gloucester Township for over fifteen years. No pushy tactics. No hidden fees. Just straightforward deals on vehicles we actually know inside and out.
You’re in Camden County, where Routes 42 and 168 run through town and the Atlantic City Expressway keeps traffic moving. People here need dependable vehicles that can handle daily commutes, work demands, and everything in between. That’s exactly what these used patrol cars for sale were built to do.
You start by browsing our current inventory of used cop cars for sale. We rotate stock regularly, so what’s available changes as we source new units from government auctions and fleet sales.
When you find a Ford Police Interceptor Utility or sedan that fits what you’re looking for, come see it in person. Walk around it. Sit in it. Ask questions about its history, mileage, and any cosmetic issues from equipment removal. We’ll tell you straight what you’re looking at.
Financing is available at 0% interest to all customers regardless of credit score. That’s not a promotional rate or a limited-time offer. It’s how we do business. Once you’re approved and ready to move forward, we handle the paperwork and you drive off the lot in a vehicle that was built to perform under pressure.

Every police interceptor for sale in our inventory comes with features you won’t find on civilian models. All-wheel drive is standard, not optional. The 3.0L EcoBoost engine in many units can hit 60 mph in under six seconds. That’s faster acceleration than most sedans on the road today.
You’re also getting heavy-duty wheels, column shifters on some models, and mounting points designed for equipment that required serious structural support. The cooling systems are built to handle extended idle times and high-speed pursuits. The brakes are larger. The alternators are more powerful.
In Gloucester Township and throughout Camden County, you need a vehicle that can handle stop-and-go traffic on Route 42, highway speeds on the Atlantic City Expressway, and everything from winter weather to summer heat. These vehicles were spec’d for exactly that kind of daily punishment. The used car market is tight right now, with inventory staying limited through 2026 and prices climbing on popular models. You’re looking at vehicles that offer better value per dollar than most civilian SUVs or sedans in the same price range.
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is built on the Explorer platform but with significant upgrades you can’t get on civilian models. Structurally, it’s reinforced to pass a 75-mph rear collision test compared to the 50-mph standard for regular Explorers.
All-wheel drive comes standard on every Police Interceptor Utility, while it’s an expensive option on civilian versions. The suspension is police-grade with heavy-duty components designed for high-speed pursuits and rough road conditions. You’re also getting enhanced cooling systems, a more powerful alternator, and a transmission built to handle extended idle times and aggressive driving.
The engines are often pursuit-rated, meaning they’ve been tested and certified for law enforcement use. Some units have the 3.0L EcoBoost that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. That’s performance you’d pay significantly more for in a civilian vehicle with similar specs.
Mileage and idle hours are legitimate considerations, but they don’t tell the whole story. These vehicles were maintained on strict fleet schedules with regular oil changes, brake inspections, and system checks. That’s documented maintenance you rarely get with civilian used vehicles.
Yes, police vehicles idle for extended periods during shifts. But the cooling systems and alternators were specifically upgraded to handle that kind of use. The engines are built tougher from the factory because Ford knows exactly how these vehicles will be used.
What matters more than the odometer reading is how the vehicle was maintained and what kind of driving it saw. Highway patrol units often have higher mileage but less wear than city vehicles with lower miles and more stop-and-go stress. We’ll walk you through each vehicle’s history so you know what you’re getting. The heavy-duty components in these interceptors are designed to outlast civilian parts, which is why you’ll see Crown Victorias still on the road with 300,000+ miles.
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing to all customers regardless of credit score. That’s not a promotional rate or a special deal for qualified buyers. It’s our standard financing option for everyone.
Most dealerships run your credit and then hit you with interest rates that can add thousands to the total cost of the vehicle. We don’t operate that way. You pay the price of the vehicle without interest charges piling on top.
This matters especially in the current market where financing can be a major obstacle for used car buyers. The economic landscape has made loan approvals tougher and interest rates higher at traditional lenders. Our 0% financing removes that barrier entirely. You know exactly what you’re paying from day one, and you’re not throwing money away on interest over the life of the loan.
Most used cop cars for sale will have holes in the interior from equipment mounting—things like laptop mounts, radio brackets, and light controls. The good news is these are usually in the center console or dashboard areas and can be covered or filled if it bothers you.
The exterior might need paint touch-ups where decals and light bars were removed. Some units come with basic steel wheels instead of alloys because that’s what fleet vehicles typically run. The interiors are usually cloth seats with vinyl or rubber flooring—built for durability, not luxury.
You’re not buying a showroom vehicle. You’re buying a high-performance, heavy-duty vehicle at a price point well below what you’d pay for a civilian SUV with similar specs. Some buyers actually prefer the utilitarian look and the unique features like column shifters and police-specific trim. If cosmetics are a priority, factor in a few hundred dollars for paint work and interior detailing to get it exactly how you want it.
You’re getting thousands of dollars worth of upgrades and heavy-duty components at a fraction of what they’d cost new. A civilian Ford Explorer with all-wheel drive, upgraded suspension, enhanced cooling, and a pursuit-rated engine would run you well over $40,000 new. You can get a used Police Interceptor Utility with all those features for a fraction of that price.
The depreciation curve is different too. These vehicles were never sold to retail buyers when new, so they don’t carry the same inflated MSRP. You’re buying them after the steepest part of the depreciation has already happened, but you’re getting a vehicle that was built tougher than civilian models from day one.
The used car market right now is tight, with prices climbing on popular models and inventory staying limited. Police interceptors offer a way to get reliable, high-performance transportation without paying premium prices. The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is the most common police vehicle on American roads today, which means parts are readily available and mechanics know how to work on them. You’re not buying some obscure vehicle that’ll be expensive to maintain.
Check the vehicle history to see what kind of duty it served. Highway patrol vehicles typically have higher mileage but less stop-and-go wear than city units. Look at maintenance records if available—fleet vehicles usually have documented service histories that tell you exactly what’s been done.
Inspect the body for rust, especially in the wheel wells and undercarriage. New Jersey winters mean salt on the roads, and even well-maintained vehicles can develop rust issues. Check the interior for the extent of holes and damage from equipment removal so you know what you’re dealing with cosmetically.
Test drive it and pay attention to how the transmission shifts, how the brakes feel, and whether the all-wheel drive system engages properly. These are performance vehicles, so they should feel tight and responsive even with higher mileage. Ask about what’s included with the purchase and whether any recent work has been done. Here in Gloucester Township, you want a vehicle that can handle Route 42 traffic, Atlantic City Expressway speeds, and everything Camden County roads throw at it. A properly maintained police interceptor should handle all of that without issue.
