Upstate New York Police Department Puts Vehicle Up for Sale in Hilarious Social Media Post

Do you need a new car? How do you feel about owning a piece of Upstate New York history as the proud new owner of a former West Seneca Police Department cruiser?

In a hilarious post on social media, the West Seneca Police Department shared a listing for one of their own vehicles, giving the world an opportunity to place a bid on one of their former fleet vehicles, and trust us, the way that they describe it, it's more than just a car—it's a ride like no other.

The vehicle that will be awarded to the highest bidder is car #26, also known as the Dodge Charger Pursuit. This beast of a machine was born in 2022 (the police posting says 2022, but the bid site says 2021. Tomayto, tomahto?) and has seen its fair share of action. While it may not be perfect (we won't mention the strange clunking sound when you turn), it more than makes up for it with character and charm. Rumor has it, that if you listen closely from the backseat, you might just hear the echoes of some questionable decisions being made.

With all-wheel drive and a powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine delivering over 300 horsepower, this vehicle is not for the faint of heart. It's been said that this car takes no prisoners except that it has – many times. Don’t worry though, this the West Seneca PD swears that it’s left the crime-fighting days behind. More good news? The engine fires up like a champ, possibly due to the fact that it's basically not been turned off since it was new.

Despite its quirks, you can rest assured that this car has been well-maintained, receiving regular oil changes and care from the finest automotive students at Erie 1 BOCES. With an impressive 5 to 34 mpg range (you know, depending on speed and such, not that speeding is acceptable) and ice-cold air conditioning, you'll be cruising in comfort and style.

But wait, there's more! This car comes with some added bonuses that you won't find anywhere else. No center console? No problem, more space for your coffee cups. A hole in the trunk lid? Think of it as a spontaneous trunk sunroof. And don't forget about the free extra collection of random wires—perfect for those DIY projects. Plus, in the trunk, you'll discover a mysterious ball of stuff wrapped in real crime scene tape. Who knows what secrets you'll discover?

Sold as is (because as the West Seneca PD pointed out, who would offer a warranty on this beauty?), this car is not for lowball offers. The West Seneca Police Department knows the treasure they have on their hands, and they're not letting it go for too cheap (however, we imagine they might be persuaded).
