New Guy with a PPV
Well I just bought my first New Caprice PPV and I am a sure looking forward to switching from the Tahoe PPV!!
I travel all over the USA to share the word about IDLife... and I am sure this will make a great TX2K16 sleeper!!

Re: New Guy with a PPV
Where did you get your PPV. I was under the impression that the Caprice was not for sale in the US except for law enforcement. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Re: New Guy with a PPV
People are getting them used from dealerships or at auctions. Just do a search on Autotrader and a bunch pop up.

Re: New Guy with a PPV
OK great. I drive a 2014 for my department and didn't know they made it to the civilian market yet.
The fastest police car I have driven in my 20 plus years.

Re: New Guy with a PPV
Some were able to get theirs brand new, and after GM effectively shut that down, some dealers have titled leftover cars and sold them as used, but with very low miles and effectively new. Other than that, a good number have also gotten miles on them quickly and gone to auction. My 2012 was purchased in January with 101k miles. Doesn't bother me, as I'll put the next 100k on it.

Re: New Guy with a PPV
Several of us have been lucky enough to buy these as "Used" cars. Mine had 41 miles on it when I bought it "Used" from a dealer who had gotten tired of seeing it set on his lot for 2 years. Mine showed up on AutoTrader and I called right away. Next day it was mine.Caprice Cop wrote:Where did you get your PPV.

Re: New Guy with a PPV
What size engines do your civilian models have in them?
Re: New Guy with a PPV
I have 6.0 V8 - but V6 and V8, the same models that police use end up available for private purchase - there is no difference in power or 'sport mode' options.
Re: New Guy with a PPV
These are cool cars in their own right, but I think it defeats the purpose to get a V6. I'd say the vast majority here feel the same way, and thus have the 6.0. Several have done quite a few mods to make them quite a bit faster than stock. I haven't done a whole lot...yet.
