Interesting find, too many city miles on it tho Highway patrol, maybe?

So ... no warranty, maintenance on your dime. Build into budget. Def look over the car in person, make sure it doesn't have oil anywhere it's not supposed to. Maintenance records are a must. No idea if fluids have been maintained, but at least PTU is supposed to be done every 30K miles per articles online for PIs. No idea if that means RDU is done as well. Change battery. Rust could be a concern. I never see the TB motor cover corroded like that but obviously this is no garage queen.

I kind of want the front bumper cover off the PI version. It’s simple but slick

P.I.s should have an hour meter it think. Maybe? In the instrument cluster.

1 hour = 33 ish miles.

run and decode the vin, double check its what it is.

whats that blue LED looking thing on top of the original radio faceplate?

177,000..... that's a 'sitting in the bathroom' load of miles.
when was it taken out of service and how many miles did it have when taken out of service? what agency had it

177k Miles for $9k seems a little steep to me. I found my 2010 with 80k miles for $10,500. There are more listings in Maryland and PA for around the same deal too.

I didn’t take into account it’s a PI car though.

I don't believe it has "highway miles" at all. It is over 4 years old. If it was driven 23 miles per hour average for 7 hours a day 5 days a week 50 weeks a year for 4.5 years, that would be 181k miles. That would be driving around a city imho.
