You’re looking at a Ford police interceptor utility because you know what it is. Heavy-duty brakes. Reinforced frame. A powertrain built for pursuit, not just commuting.
These aren’t civilian Explorers with a badge slapped on. Ford Interceptors come with 400 horsepower, 415 lb-ft of torque, and intelligent AWD that handles Pennsylvania winters without drama. The suspension is calibrated for high-speed stability. The brakes are oversized. The cooling system is built to run hard without overheating.
And the price? Most Ford explorer police interceptor for sale vehicles run between $5,000 and $15,000. Compare that to a new Explorer starting north of $40,000, and you see why smart buyers in Abington are paying attention.
You’re not buying someone’s neglected trade-in. You’re buying a vehicle that was maintained on a schedule, inspected regularly, and built to standards most civilian cars never see.
State Surplus Auto Sales isn’t some fly-by-night lot flipping impound cars for sale. We’ve been doing this for over fifteen years, and our owner, Carmen Yannuzzi, spent more than twenty-five years in law enforcement.
He knows what these vehicles go through. He knows what to look for. And he knows the difference between a well-maintained interceptor and one that got beaten into the ground.
We’re based in Newark, NJ, and we serve buyers throughout the Philadelphia metro area, including Abington, PA. You’re not dealing with a national chain or an algorithm. You’re working with people who understand what you’re buying and why it matters.
You start by looking at what’s in stock. We keep our inventory updated with Ford interceptor for sale vehicles that meet our standards. If something catches your eye, reach out.
We’ll walk you through the vehicle’s history, what we know about its service record, and what condition it’s in right now. No exaggerations. No dodging questions.
If you want to see it in person, come to our lot in Newark. It’s about 90 minutes from Abington depending on traffic. Kick the tires. Pop the hood. Take it for a drive if you want.
Financing is zero percent interest regardless of your credit score. No credit, bad credit, it doesn’t matter. Everyone gets approved. We’re not running your score through some third-party lender who’s going to nickel-and-dime you on the back end.
Once you’re ready, we handle the paperwork and get you on the road. The whole process is built to be transparent and fast, not stretched out over days of back-and-forth nonsense.

Most of our police impound cars for sale are Ford Police Interceptor Utilities, which are based on the Explorer platform. Some people still call them Ford crown interceptors out of habit, but the Crown Vic hasn’t been in production since 2011.
What you’re getting is a modern SUV with serious capability. Expect higher mileage, usually between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. That sounds like a lot until you realize these engines are built for it. Police departments don’t baby their fleets, but they do maintain them.
You’ll also find massive trunk space since these vehicles were designed to haul equipment. The rear seats are roomy. The ride is firm but not punishing. And yes, people will slow down around you on the highway because they think you’re an unmarked unit.
In Abington and the surrounding Philadelphia metro, you’re dealing with all-season weather. The AWD system on these interceptors isn’t some light-duty setup. It’s designed to handle pursuit driving in snow, rain, and everything else Pennsylvania throws at you.
You won’t get every bell and whistle from a luxury trim. But you will get a vehicle that’s engineered to perform when it matters.
Most of the used cop cars for sale at our lot have between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. Some agencies retire vehicles earlier, but that’s the typical range.
Here’s the thing: those miles aren’t all highway cruising. A lot of them are idle hours, which means the engine was running but the odometer wasn’t moving. That creates wear, but it’s different from stop-and-go city driving.
Ford builds the Interceptor powertrain to handle this kind of use. The oil gets changed on schedule. The cooling system is oversized. The transmission is built heavier than the civilian version. High mileage on a police interceptor doesn’t mean the same thing it does on a neglected trade-in.
Yes. These vehicles were built to protect officers during high-speed pursuits and emergency responses. The safety standards are higher than civilian models.
You’re getting reinforced door panels, additional airbags, and a frame that’s designed to absorb impact. The braking system is upgraded with larger rotors and performance pads. The suspension is tuned for stability at speed, which also means better handling in everyday driving.
That said, you’re buying a used vehicle with real miles on it. We’re not going to tell you it’s perfect. But the foundation is solid, and the engineering is sound. If you’re looking for a daily driver that can take a hit and keep going, a Ford police interceptor utility is hard to beat.
We offer zero-percent interest financing to everyone. No credit check. No score requirements. No third-party lenders adding fees and conditions.
You pick the vehicle. We agree on a price. You decide on a payment plan that works for your budget. That’s it.
Most dealerships run your credit, send it to a bank, and come back with an interest rate that depends on your score. We don’t do that. Everyone gets the same deal: zero interest, no matter what. It’s one of the reasons people drive from Abington and the rest of the Philly area to buy from us.
We share everything we have. Some agencies provide detailed records, and some don’t. It depends on where the vehicle came from.
What we can tell you is whether the vehicle was in an accident, what major components have been replaced, and what condition it’s in now. We’re not going to hide anything or make up a story to close a sale.
If you want to bring a mechanic to inspect it before you buy, that’s fine. If you want to run a VIN check on your own, go ahead. We’re not trying to rush you into a decision. The more informed you are, the better.
Because they’re used, they have high mileage, and they’re being sold by agencies that want to move inventory, not maximize profit.
Police departments and government agencies aren’t car dealerships. When they retire a vehicle, they’re not spending money on detailing, marketing, and lot fees. They sell in bulk, often through auctions, and the prices reflect that.
We buy directly from these sources, which means we’re not paying retail either. That savings gets passed to you. You’re not paying for a showroom experience or a warranty that covers every possible issue. You’re paying for a solid vehicle at a fair price.
The police interceptor is built on the same platform as the civilian Explorer, but the components are upgraded for law enforcement use.
You’re getting a more powerful engine, a heavy-duty transmission, upgraded brakes with larger rotors, and a reinforced suspension. The cooling system is built to handle extended idling and high-speed driving. The electrical system is beefed up to support emergency equipment.
The interior is more basic. You won’t get leather seats or a premium sound system. But you will get a vehicle that’s engineered to perform under stress. If you care more about capability than comfort, the interceptor is the better buy.
