Police cars are driven hard. They run over curbs, drive at high speeds with rapid acceleration and deceleration.
Unless you can get such a car for really cheap or just like looking like an unmarked police car, I would go for a regular car.

I don't think it matters who you buy it from. I wouldn't! I know they have better suspension and all, but look at how much wear and tear they get! You've seen cops slam on the gas- slam on the brakes, go over dips at 50 mph....I wouldn't want to buy a car that beat up! You might as well save 800 bucks and do it the cheap way. I don't think it will matter!

Police cars have been driven hard, idled for hours on end, but serviced well. A non-police Impala, however, may never have been serviced at all. Check your prices at kbb.com and nada.com. Then take whichever you like best to a mechanic for an inspection. If he says the car is in good shape, then buy it. If not, have him inspect the other one, or look for another car.

It did not improve the engine performance. in reality, many Police equipment autos had small 6 cylinder engine. those autos were often in huge cites as city patrol autos, or by technique of small cities.
