I was stopped for alcohol and drug testing in Warners Bay NSW and the policeman doing the testing and another came up to chat about the FGX XR8 and said that the police did use a number of them in NSW.

I stand corrected. None in Vic except those Sprints.

One article claims the white one is still owned by VicPol and mothballed, but it definitely isn’t. Went through auctions last year and I have seen it getting around at meets.

I haven't seen a yellow car IRL for decades except for mazdas.
Might have to ozone treat it first though, for da covids.
(because it will be a stinking taxi )

well rocks in their head or being cashed up its not much to them, who knows good luck to him is all I'll say.
What do us owners of low k Sprints or any FGX feel about that
Use and abuse fellas - covid and lockdowns sure has turned the world upside down

Agreed! But remember, if he ever gets sick of it, there's at least 1 other person around who would buy it off him at no loss!

Agree but it seems you might have to fork out even a few more dollars.

Eg, the 2016 with 2185klm will need another $10.5K added. But if they are all dreaming or not I've no idea

Definitely do agree there.
But being the last falcon HWP car, there could be something in it who knows.

Not like there'll be another.
Also same with sprints also.
New owner possibly already has a sprint who knows

[Giant Cranium]

there are a lot of weird ex cops and wanna be cops who buy ex cop cars and fully restore them back to how they were when they were i service, we will see this thing pop up soon 'restored' i reckon

[ozrunner]

I'd say it could be reasonable to suspect these guys may have brought it even though it was a Vic unit.

It was a NSW unit from Sydney.

[ozrunner]

OK I reckon that would mean its highly likely it will be in this collection.

That "collection" includes multiple fakes and replicas most of which are owned by their babbling mouthpiece.

I cannot think what a criminal would want with a decommissioned cop car let alone paying $100K for it?

Whatever happened to imagination?......where did it go, imagine a crew of tank men working out a job, $5 million of diamonds, but they need a cop car for it, so deduct the $100k and $4.9 million to spend.....

[Vesper Martini]

ok......
