Carmen and Eric were great. We bought a 2013 Taurus Interceptor cash with 99k on it. We were in and out in no time. They take care of their customers and i would def. buy another vehicle from them.
Bought my interceptor from these guys! Don’t judge the place by the appearance! Great group of guys very honest with great prices, The car runs and drives like a dream they explained everything and provided all documentation in regards to my vehicle I would absolutely recommend this place if your in search of an interceptor!
Bought a 2013 police interceptor back in February and honestly I can't recommend buying any vehicles from state surplus. They did some seriously awful repairs. The bumper support was still smashed and they never fully repaired it and they just welded the bash bar to the support instead of bolting it as it should be. The worst thing that cost me a ton of money was the fact they used putty (JB weld) to attempt to repair the charge air cooler which was fractured to the point of no return. It needed a new charge air cooler you can't repair anything that is pressurized using putty this is something your backyard mechanic would do as a temporary fix. My A/C condenser had several holes in it which also had to be replaced despite the description saying the A/C worked properly. The day I bought the car not even 20 minutes later the air bag light comes on. Then I realized I had a nail in my left rear tire but I thought no worries it comes with a full sized spare! But to my surprise the spare had a huge puncture in it rendering it completely useless. Someone mounted that tire knowing it was no good and held no air. Shows how much they care about their customers. Lastly the title says 155,000 miles yet my odometer read 45,000 according to the owner this was the DMVs mistake but I find that very hard to believe. This place cuts corners and seems extremely sketchy. The only reason I'm not giving this 1 star is because the owner cut me a break on the price. I am lucky enough to work in a shop so I repaired these issues myself. I had to rip the entire front end apart to fix their shoddy repairs. I'd be looking at an easy $2,000 in a normal shop or dealership in parts and labor alone. Long story short these people cut corners to maximize profit and it's pretty evident that they could care less about their customer. Avoid this place and just go directly to auction if you want a cop car.
Eric is condescending and rude, would have punched me luckily I moved out of the way. Awful cars awful folks
Pretty strange dealership, wanted to trade in my car and use the money they would offer and put it towards the purchase of a vehicle off their lot. Was turned down as the rep stated “I wouldn’t have a use for your car and won’t sell it”. But yet they are selling vehicles with over 167k miles and in horrible condition. Not sure what kind of used auto dealership this is, but for anyone looking to trade or buy a car I wouldn’t start here. Better off getting a car from somewhere else.
