  1. With Holden and Ford having departed as local manfacturers, many import brands are viying for local police fleet buy, goes for all government fleet too, though few actually are for highway persute and patrol duty. Lots like Smart or other small engine small to medium sedams do various transport tasks not requiring high performance. Some are just office staff and others are accident investigatio, burglary, domestic violence and lots of tasks other than busting drivers speeding. Drug and drunk stop/test too. Large buses go to various locations along with police personell in transport, to do alcohol and drug tests at those also nearby are police persuit cars and motor bkies to nab drivers observed U-turning or detouring via side streets, or not pullin into inspection stop as directed to avoid the test stop. Many other special needs are for 4WD vehicles like Toyota Land Cruiser, and Utility vehicles, used in country areas especially, and search and rescue. I actually have a Toyota LandCruiser Series 80, 1993/1994 Model, that was run its 3yrs as police vehicle in country Victoria Bendigo region. I got ot start of 1997, with only 27,000 km and with full Toyota extended warantee. Now only 274,000km as I have only done a few long trips over 15,000 km, but many trips under 1000 to 2000km, rest normal work day and shopping, and also personal hobby astronomy, that has 100km day trip to local iewing site, or 250km for a more remote place a few times. Normally at this age that vehicle type could easily do over 1 million km. Should get good value, as still very much in demand. At current vehicle shortages prices have risen sharply for second hand Toyota currently state 9 to 12 month delivery on Land Cruisers for example. My diesel still manages 12 to 13 L/100km around town, and just under 10 L/100km on highway. Far better than Petrol types at 17 to 20L/100km town and 15 to 18L/100km highway, especially bad Auto transmission types. I may have to consider keeping it, while I really would like to upgrade, but too long lead times now.
