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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If anyone wants to offload good yellow falcons but can't do it due to the taxi stigma send them to WA. Our taxis have mostly been white. Some silver metallic (the premium ones lol).
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

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 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/for...-sprint-badge/ |

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

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

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