hi mate, welcome.
Although you might get higher performance spec, I've heard those police cars do take a beating during their lifetime.  Coming from a policeman friend of mine.  So suspension could be mashed from going over speed bumbs at 50 mph with the blues and twos on etc...

I'm sure a more knowledgeable omega person could confirm/dispell this?

Welcome to OOF !  :y

Well my advice to you is this....

ex Police vehicles are driven at Warp speed, loads of drivers will have driven them.

However , I own an ex unmarked ARV 3.2 special saloon, colour grey , its the best car Ive ever owned. My last car was a Volvo D5 , the omega is great to drive, cheaper parts and you meet some great people on here.

You will find most ex police vehicle are in the shade of white, but if you can try and find a different colour as this means it wouldnt have all the holes in the roof etc..  just my personal opinion and dont wish to offend any white omega owners out there,,, they are a great buy and would have been serviced by the workshops every month.

I was very lucky and knew my car from day one of its police service and the guys that worked on it.

Price of £2k,,, well high... at auction £800 max .

Hope that helps and please PM me if you need any help finding something ex Police.


Regards

Ploppy :y :y
