Amazing, these under cover cares are still being paid for like this. Killer. I would like to be on the receiving end of those payments.

I didn't actually read the article but did they really "lease" the cars?

yes, they leased.

Who in the hell would lease them the cars in the first place??? Lease cars for police work... Sounds stupid

What's the difference if they bought them with financing?

Because after a lease you give it back... Police work seems like it may be over normal usage. I'd think they would put way too many miles on for a lease also

I'm sure it's not a typical leasing arrangement.

Wtf is trader ray? Sounds like a company made up just to provide cars for the city and/or city run offices. No one would ever pay $600 on a car like that if they even checked with 1 other dealer

No, I'm pretty sure they have a 3 yr/15k miles per year standard lease. 25 cents a mile after that.

GF strikes again.

I'm just going by what the article says... 2 year deal and they have to pau .15 for every mile over
