K9 Crown Vic

[SatinSilver]

Check out the heavy duty back seat area for the dog. Looks like a jail cell back there. Funny at the end of the ad it mentions the dog stench. Guess the person didn't want to clean it too much before flipping it.

Probably bought an all new system, due to the demise of the CV.

No more ripping it out and putting it in a new car.

"Super Clean"... right.

 

[eljefino]

"We have not fully inspected this vehicle" = the transmission slips when it gets hot, and we want to claim plausible deniability.

 

[DoubleWasp]

that's no way to treat a fellow officer.

 

[cptbarkey]

nothing a good cleaning and an ozone machine cant take care of. that said, $500 and i'll bite.

I don't know about Ohio, but here in California our K9 units are well maintained so $2000 seems like a good price.

What did they do with the original seats, upholstery, etc.?

The ad claims it's a southern unit.Here in Ohio, that meant something when cars use to rust out within 5-7 years. I'm sure California is no differnet than any other state. You'll have some municipalities and counties that have a good maintenance program while others suck.

It's "Clean" but smells and we really didn't drive it far, so we really can't tell if there is anything amiss about this car.


If one can't read between the lines on this one I have Ocean front property in Arizona you should look at! LOL!


And ED-I don't quite get your post-the K9 units are taken care of and the rest of the cruisers are not?

Why do they put the dogs in a sedan anyway? Here, they use either a station wagon with a cage in the luggage area, or a ute with a canopy (which translates to a pick up with a "topper" in the US I believe).

Fred Flintstone's footmobile had a canopy! I believe most people call it a (truck) cap or a camper shell here. I suppose you could call it a topper, but out of context I would not know what you mean. Topper is vague and might denote an antenna ball. Don't see K9 sedans here, only wagons and utes.

Ah, the peculiarities of the English language! My mistake, I thought I read another thread on here recently where someone referred to the canopy/cap/camper shell as a topper, obviously I drink too much

At least I got the part about K9 sedans being odd correct!

 

[BRZED]

Naw, I'm pretty sure you can call the camper shell a topper, especially if the context does not allow for confusion. As for the canines themselves, I guess whether they get to ride in a sedan or in a bigger vehicle depends on the breed. A bloodhound would not be comfy in a sedan, but a beagle will be just fine.

I think "Topper" is actually a BRAND of truck caps.

I don't see a spec of rust on it.

I'd have no problem buying this for 2K, then heading to the local junkyard and buying parts from a wrecked grand marquis.

I looked for the Toppers brand, but couldn't find it. On the Leer Website they mention all three terms: truck caps, toppers and camper shells.

You haven't smelled the inside yet. What's interesting is you would think the seller tried to remove the smell and it didn't work.

I spilled a gallon of used gear oil in my Jeep and the previous owner was a chain smoker. It would fit right in.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I don't care, because I have a secret weapon. A dude I work with has a brother that details cars...full-time, for a BHPH dealer, and also for anyone who will pay him. He can get ANYTHING clean. I mean ANYTHING. He shows up in a Honda Passport loaded with cleaning supplies, and a crate containing bottles of mysterious concoctions (many homemade and he will tell absolutely nobody what they are)...and no matter HOW bad a car is, it will be spotless in an hour.

His record was a vehicle that someone had forgotten a bag of dirty diapers in. For two days. In August. It's his Passport...he got it for $100. Aside from the slight but ever-present odor of Windex, there is no trace of any smell.

If he can't get it done himself (it's happened a couple times), a case of Sam Adams will get him an ozone generator for the day.

Pick-up truck with a cap.
