haha, i saw a random ad on the side of an internet page saying that you could get an govt. seized vehicle cheap at an auto auction. the picture was an older car lifted on huge rims. ok, if you dont have enought money to do that and know you wont, why would you take out a loan on your car for it?!?!?..lol
very confused by people in general at this moment..lol

police auctions are the way to go, inpounds after 30 or 60 days are forfited and you can pick them up for a decent price

We had a good auction here last spring with a lot of seized cars from an alleged drug ring. Of course most of them were on 22's but still nice cars.

Buy the car, sell off the rims and maybe get your money back on the purchase. AND, make sure any distinguishing marks are removed.

No kidding! And hope the previous owners don't car-jack you to retrieve the "stuff" they hid inside the doors, the gas tank, the seats, the wheel wells...

I'm thinking a car used by drug dealers are gonna need a little bit of work. Don't know if I would ever really feel at ease driving a former drug car. Would you be willing to drive that car over a border? Are you 100% sure the car will make it through without setting anything off?

I've seen one guy locally who took an old Crown Vic and made it look really good. He painted it black metallic. Re-built the engine. Installed a custom true dual exhaust system with chrome tips. Chrome 17" wheels. Lowered about an inch. Completely re-did the interior with two tone black and white leather seats. Installed a kickass sound system.

But his is very rare. The local police sell their old police cars directly to local cab companies to use as taxis. By the time they're done with them, the cars have darn near a million miles on them. So getting an old police car around here is rare.
