M'eh, cha-ching $$$$$. Last I looked, they are still a bit spendy.
The ex-cop car crown vic's are FUN to drive!!! My friend has a white one w/ tinted windows, black trim/spot lights, cell phone antenna and the police interceptor badge on the rear.... and people seem to drive like super nice drivers when we go anywhere! lol
They let you merge with ease, your blinker means something to all, people all slow down and keep their distance from you and actual police give a curt wave when you pass by
Though, they do tend to be a tad beaten unless it was a detective car or if you can buy a low, low mile surplus car.
