Buyers Marked Unit Advice

[ssp91ssp]

Dear Friend ,
As you know i picked up the blue USPS car out of cali , DSO 83 Gov car .
I love the car and daily drive it in our Tx weather .

But when i heard of a state patrol car for sale i stopped the world to make the purchase !!! mamma ok or NOT ....LOL

John , i'm very new to the SSP world but i think that when a person hears the word STATE it automatically sounds and has more authority ...I think ...

if i had to start from scratch it would be all state cars for me .. they also seem to have some tough stories behind them !
this is just my opinion .

Personally, I feel "state" cars hold a certain mystique. It conjures up visions of a hawk sitting in the median of an interstate waiting for the unsuspecting prey to stumble into the trap. Just the SSP sitting there waiting, had a great psychological affect on speeders.

BTW, I have a car just like that for sale with tons of documentation. Perhaps we could work a deal on your current SSP. Just a thought.

John - Thanks for asking...here's my 2 cents. I would first need to know if you have any "connection" with the City or State in question. For instance I grew up in Missouri and was able to observe the MSHP SSP's the whole time they were in-service (darn I didn't take photos). Having that "connection" to those is a huge draw for me. If the City that I grew up in used SSP's I'm sure that would be a draw for me as well.

Normally for the reasons that Joe and Hector mentioned above I would probably lean to a State car as more people relate to them and therefore appeal to more people. That being said I would suspect with a City car, they probably didn't purchase many of them so that level of rarity might be of interest to have something unique. You mentioned it being 2 tone versus a solid color as well. Most people tend to prefer the 2 tone.

It really boils down to personal preference. I'm not sure that I have found an SSP that I don't like. Well actually I don't like the SSP's hacked up by Ricky Racer.
