Municipal owned vehicles???

If you've experience of driving one for your work, great. Feel free to share your experience.

Not looking into ex cop or fire chief vehicle. More like a former park district owned pick up truck/van type of vehicle. Maybe a former city of Evanston van/truck. Ya know something along the line. Have you bought one of those types of vehicles? Would you do it again? Why or why not? Do you think they're better or worse cared for than a family owned vehicle.

If you want a turbo you are going to have to look at Diesel Truck or Van.. 95 or newer Ford ambulance or cargo van for example.

I've done a lot of title work for the govt auction ones. People seem happy but they usually have high miles. Like... 220,000 miles on a 5 year old car

They aren't worth until it cheap.

Do you realized they don't drive on highway and miles are short trip like 5-30 miles a day with TONS OF IDLE.

Millions different drivers beat snot out it.

Until you can find for steal deal like 95 E350 with 198K I bought for $450 from Mental Institution.
