are police cruisers/interceptors (Caprice) a good or bad buy?
Clearly you have to check them out. Overall I just want to hear from people that put the car through it's paces and how it worked out. Looking at mid 90s Caprice / Roadmasters and wondering if I should bite. TIA.

Looking at mid 90s Caprice / Roadmasters and wondering if I should bite. TIA. I had a ride in a brand new Caprice once. Really bad tire noise. Like it had no sound insulation at all. |

ok, but did you read the question. What the h* do door handles and tires have to do with anything?
I'll bet anything those 2 guys are Ford fans. |

I had a '76 Caprice that was former "official". That's what I figured anyway,due to the equipped spotlight. Bought it in '82 for $800. It was a nice car, and only needed tuneups. Rusted out within 5 years. |
