Perfect mechanicals, sold one of the L77 engines here for ~$5K USD. The 9C3's ended in 2013. since then they were just detective model 9C1's.

Unless the agency bought them and then didn't do anything with them for years or used them for CSOs or other non-patrol work, I guarantee you they weren't perfectly maintained.

I can make any of our Chargers look decent after a deep clean and detail and a quick trip to Goodyear. Doesn't change the fact that they're regularly launched from 0-80+ MPH multiple times a shift, driven through medians and over curbs, idle constantly, harsh braking, etc.

Two used cars I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole: ex-rentals and ex-patrol cars.
