The problem I had was the under side of car was so rusty from oil pan to the rearend, bad vibration in the driveline. The mileage on it was 20956.7. A dealer was selling it. But I maybe wrong, but I dont think I am wrong.Just wanted to let everybody know.Thanks Rog.

Can you email me those pictures? cntlose92 at yahoo . com

I have been talking with the seller and a former owner of this car. The lights were added on by an officer who owned the car at one time. Mileage is over 200k, not 120k. Car may also have received a cheap repaint since the former owner I talked to had it...so curious why the rust was not repaired then.

Thanks

It has a ton of overspray in the front, but I don't know many people who have completely stripped one of these cars and painted the underside.

Will get that up tomorrow, the problem is that I printed the pics off of ebay when it was for sale, I will scan them to my laptop and email them to you.

If there is rust on the rear quarter like that, I can just imagine how bad the rest of the car is. Personally I would stay away from it.

"Dealer disclosure: All cars sold as-is, where-is. "

Dealereze interpretation: Yes I am embellishing the condition of the car.
No I won't give you a refund when you realize I lied to you.

Hasn't this car been flipped a couple times already?

The reserve is set at $5k. The former owner I talked to sold it for not much less than that two years ago. He sold it to the LEO who added the lights you see on it now. He put it up for sale after a few months of owning it. This is the first the former owner I talked to as seen it back on the market. It seems as few Utah cars are out there, a lot of them get sold frequently...IMO. I am guessing some people just get bored of a white car. That was one of the reasons I traded off the WSP car...that I now wish I had back. O'well live and learn.

I like the Utah ones quite a bit. TONS of video of them in-service on the old Real Stories of the Highway Patrol episodes.

I like the UHP cars and you can't beat that funky back seat shotgun holder.
