Hear from Our Customers
You’re not buying someone’s neglected trade-in. These are Ford police interceptor utility vehicles that were built for pursuit driving and maintained on strict fleet schedules. Every used cop car for sale in our inventory comes from law enforcement agencies we work with directly.
That means you’re getting heavy-duty components, high-output electrical systems, and purpose-built reliability. The 3.0L EcoBoost models push 400 horsepower. The hybrid versions deliver 318 hp while benefiting from the constant idle time that defined their previous life. These aren’t just fast—they’re engineered to handle extreme conditions.
And here’s what matters most: we offer zero-interest financing to every customer. Your credit score doesn’t disqualify you. You’re getting a vehicle that was maintained by professionals, sold at a price well below market, and financed at 0%. That’s the advantage of buying from someone who knows these vehicles inside and out.
State Surplus Auto Sales is owned and operated by Carmen Yannuzzi, a career law enforcement officer with over 25 years on the job. This isn’t a side hustle or a typical used car lot. It’s a business built on firsthand knowledge of what makes a patrol car reliable.
We’ve been serving customers across the Philadelphia metro and beyond for over 15 years. Our inventory comes directly from law enforcement agencies—vehicles that would otherwise go to auction. We buy them in bulk, which means you’re not paying middleman markups or dealer premiums.
Philadelphia drivers know the value of a dependable vehicle, especially when you’re navigating I-95 traffic or dealing with winter conditions. These used patrol cars for sale were built for exactly that kind of punishment. You’re buying from someone who understands what you need and how these vehicles perform in real-world conditions.
Start by browsing our inventory online. We list every Ford police interceptor utility with photos and details so you know exactly what you’re looking at. If you’re in the Philadelphia area, you can visit our Newark, NJ location at 833 Broadway. If you’re farther out, we work with customers remotely all the time.
Once you find a vehicle you’re interested in, reach out. We’ll walk you through the details—what’s been done to the car, what condition it’s in, and what you can expect. No games, no hidden fees, no surprises when you show up.
Financing is simple. We offer 0% interest to everyone, regardless of credit. Most of our customers finance, and the average payment sits around $413 a month. You’ll know your numbers upfront. Once everything’s set, you can pick up your vehicle or arrange delivery if you’re buying from a distance.
This isn’t a high-pressure environment. You’re working with people who care about cars and understand what it’s like to be on the buying side of the table.

We specialize in Ford police interceptors—specifically the Utility Police Interceptor models that have become the backbone of law enforcement fleets nationwide. Right now, there are over 240 Ford Utility Police Interceptor models available in the Philadelphia area, and we maintain a rotating inventory of these vehicles.
You’re looking at cars that were engineered to meet a 75-mph rear-impact crash test—the only vehicles in the world designed to that standard. They come with Intelligent AWD systems tuned for pursuit driving, not just all-weather commuting. The electrical systems are built to handle the load of lights, radios, computers, and everything else law enforcement throws at them.
Philadelphia’s used car market is competitive, and prices have climbed across the board. The average used vehicle transaction now exceeds $30,000. But cop cars for sale sit well below that threshold because they come from government fleets, not private sellers trying to maximize profit. You’re getting more vehicle for less money, and in a market where 75% of buyers need financing, our zero-interest offer makes a real difference.
These aren’t collector items anymore. They’re practical, dependable transportation for people who need a solid running vehicle without the new-car price tag.
Yes. These vehicles were maintained on strict fleet schedules and built with heavy-duty components designed for constant use. Law enforcement agencies don’t take chances with unreliable vehicles, and neither should you.
The Ford police interceptor utility models in our inventory were serviced regularly and inspected frequently. That’s a level of documented care you won’t find on most used cars. Philadelphia drivers deal with stop-and-go traffic, potholes, and weather extremes. These cars were built for exactly that kind of punishment.
You’re also getting purpose-built engineering. The cooling systems, brakes, suspension, and electrical components are all upgraded beyond consumer models. That doesn’t mean they’re indestructible, but it does mean they’re designed to handle more than your average commute.
Yes. We offer zero-interest financing to every customer, regardless of credit score. That’s not a promotional rate or a limited-time offer. It’s how we do business.
Most used car buyers need financing—about 75% according to industry data. But traditional lenders make it difficult if your credit isn’t perfect. We’ve removed that barrier entirely. You’re not paying interest, and you’re not getting penalized for past financial challenges.
The average monthly payment for our customers sits around $413, but your actual payment depends on the vehicle you choose and your down payment. We’ll work with you to find a number that fits your budget. No surprises, no hidden fees, no games when you arrive.
A police interceptor utility is engineered specifically for law enforcement use. It’s not just a regular Explorer with a different badge. The differences are significant and they matter if you care about performance and durability.
First, the powertrain options are different. You’re looking at a 3.0L EcoBoost that produces 400 horsepower or a 3.3L hybrid system that delivers 318 hp. The Intelligent AWD system is tuned specifically for pursuit driving, with programming that detects and responds to high-speed maneuvers automatically.
The structure is reinforced to meet that 75-mph rear-impact standard. The electrical system includes high-output alternators—up to 250 amps—and robust battery systems designed to power equipment all day. The cooling, braking, and suspension components are all heavy-duty. You’re getting a vehicle that was built to perform under conditions that would destroy a consumer model.
The hybrid models do surprisingly well, especially in city conditions. Police vehicles idle constantly—sometimes 40-60% of their operational time—and the hybrid system was designed with that in mind. You’re getting better efficiency than you’d expect from a vehicle this size.
The EcoBoost models prioritize performance over fuel economy, but they’re not terrible. You’re looking at a powerful V6 that produces 400 horsepower. That comes with a trade-off at the pump, but if you’re comparing it to older V8-powered police cars, the difference is noticeable.
Philadelphia drivers spend a lot of time in traffic. The hybrid system shines in that environment because it’s constantly switching between gas and electric power. If fuel economy is your top priority, focus on the hybrid interceptors in our inventory. If you want maximum performance, the EcoBoost is your answer.
These vehicles are built to last well beyond their law enforcement service life. The combination of heavy-duty components and professional maintenance means you’re starting with a solid foundation, even if the odometer shows higher miles.
Police cars rack up miles quickly, but those are often highway miles or idle time—not the kind of wear-and-tear that comes from neglect or aggressive driving by inexperienced owners. The maintenance records are documented, and the vehicles are inspected regularly throughout their service life.
You’re not buying a car that’s been beaten to death and discarded. You’re buying a vehicle that was maintained by professionals and retired because the agency upgraded their fleet or changed vendors. Many of our customers drive these interceptors for years after purchase without major issues. The key is that you’re starting with a vehicle that was built tough and cared for properly from day one.
We work directly with law enforcement agencies to acquire vehicles before they go to public auction. That relationship is possible because our owner, Carmen Yannuzzi, spent over 25 years in law enforcement. He knows these vehicles, he knows the agencies, and he knows which cars are worth buying.
When agencies retire vehicles, they typically send them to auction where dealers and resellers bid them up. We buy in bulk directly from the source, which eliminates the middleman markup. That’s how we’re able to sell below market value and still offer zero-interest financing.
Our inventory comes from government fleets across the region, including agencies in and around Philadelphia, PA. These aren’t salvage vehicles or cars with questionable histories. They’re professionally maintained patrol cars that have reached the end of their service life but still have plenty of road life left. You’re getting access to vehicles that most people never see before they hit the auction block.
