How reliable are the Ford Police Interceptor I seen a few on Craigslist?

It's a former police car. It's hit or mess with them. Sometimes you buy one and the last you until 1,000,000 miles other times you buy one and it breaks down after 100,000 miles. It depends on how good of care of the police department took care of them. For example, I would never buy an LAPD car (I mean I never buy any former police car but you know just using this as an example) because with the amount of stupid **** that they have to go after here, I just wouldn't risk it. However, if it's a small town police company, they usually take great care of the cars and in that case I'd say go for it. You shouldnt trust the mileage. That vehicle is out of service for a reason. Even if it only has 100k miles, they idle all the time for hours on end. So the actual wear on the engine is a lot more than what you might think just by looking at the mileage. All hit or miss. Remember they are old police cruisers and get the sheet beat out of them. Most are high mileage so you would need to have a mechanic check one out to see if its worth buying
