They have been using the silver jetta and the black Mk5 GTI for a while here.

Also, many of these "odd" undercover police cars are made available (at no cost) to the police by the manufacturer/importer in the hope they will buy them in the next round of purchases. In Sydney, this has been done by Subaru (WRX), Mercedes (Smart), BMW (Mini), Chrysler (Jeep). Funny how they still stay with the staples of Commodore, Falcon, Camry, Rhodeo, etc.

It is a Government department, which is why local cars will always win the contract, keeping jobs in the country etc. It will be interesting if they stick to that decision when the falcon goes to the States and the commodore goes Korean (its only a matter of time).

Anyway as it stands today, a Falcon xr6 turbo or SS Commodore really can't be beat as a highway bruiser for under 50k.

Police Golf's?

I think the apostrophe police need to pay this thread a visit

VWs of all kinds are big down here in Canberra, I think it goes back to the 60s when the government cars were VWs, as the govt sold them off the public developed a taste for them.

The Federal Police have loads of Transporters as patrol vehicles and they use Crafters for the riot police for when you rabble from the rest of the country come to town to shout at politicians.

us, rabble ?!

I bet you live in one of those lah-de-dah suburbs in Canberra where the police golf's (sic) are told there's no need to patrol

hehe, in my younger days I lived in one of those suburbs where they have guard stations on the corners. I'm not sure if they are there to protect the diplomats from terrorists or from Australians.

Since returning to Canberra after 20 years away I live out in the darkest reaches of the suburbs.

I'm pretty sure most Canberrans believe we have a better class of bogan here too, though all the primer covered pretend HSV VN Commodores would beg to differ (I will still never understand why anyone would actually spend money trying to "improve" a VN Commodore).

what would be the re-sale value of obne of these??

Fairly limited I guess.. but then again sell themm off to the state police and have based in Alice Springs/Willcannia etc

I spotted an unmarked silver MK6 GTI the other afternoon on the Logan Motorway. It had concealled red and blue lights behind the grill. I spotted it as it had pulled over a ricee Nissan
