Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a P71 and was looking for some advice. I'm looking at a 2008 White, black clean int, slick top, clean body, go rhino push bar, clean title and single department. It's from a pretty reputable dealer in the area and i'm looking to pay cash. They are asking 8K, is this a fair asking price? |

2006 - 2008 run about $7500-12,000 depending on department. If the dealer is reputable, go for it. Just remember that most P71 may only have 50,000 miles, but may have hundreds of thousands of idle hours. If the department that had it didn't allow for extended idle times, its a great deal. Many P71s used by large departments and taxi services will run for 200,000 miles and better. I've read of some going 400,000 miles before a rebuilt, that is if maintenance is strict and regular. Good luck.
I have a 1997 P71 ex-US Marshall service with 175,000 miles, and it runs great. Now I'm finishing rebuilding the front end. Should now be good for another 100,000 miles, if the roads hold up.
