Re: re: MSP Impalas?
At any rate...would you really want to wait six years to buy a used MSP piece of junk if you had to?? :shock: You have seen some of the cars that they sell, right? :lol:
My car is in excellent shape, however, I am still slowly having to replace stuff (that I expected to replace anyway)...rear brakes and rotors, 1 tire, tie rods, struts, strut mounts, a coolant temperature sensor, etc.
I love my car. The great thing about the Impalas is they can haul ass, they are set up to easily make them a great patrol vehicle (shifter on the steering columns, in-line connectors for wig-wags and tail-light flashers, pre-existing wiring for anything that you would need to hook up so you don't have to run wires, power drops under glove box and two in the trunk, as well as two studs under the hood).
Simply great for unmarked use because 95% of the public doesn't even know that they make a police package AND they're so common (even after only being around for 4 years).
Oh, and FWD is great too for New England weather.
I personally have a silver '01 9C1 that I bought from a guy in NY...it used to be a state-owned car in NC. Possibly state police, but I'm really not sure.mpd61 said:Since our agency used to get MSP cast off's we decide to beat them to the punch this year and bought a 2004 Impala (Black n' white) brand new. That way we wouldn't have to wait six or so years to get it anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
