If you're an undercover cop, when you pick up a used car, your main goal is to look like anything but a cop. This means, of course, that an unmarked Crown Victoria is probably not the wisest choice.
We have rated a range of used vehicles and below are the ones we identified as the most "not cops". We have selected Smart Car, Dodge Durango, Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford F-150 and Ford Mustang as the best used vehicles for undercover cops.
Smart car: Oddly enough, the tiny Smart car is used in many European police departments, and why not? They're tiny, easy to drive, easy to park, and a big budget saver when it comes to fuel economy. However, in the US, you can safely drive a Smart car and no one will even think that you are a police officer.
Dodge Durango: Usually you think that this mid-size SUV is driven by people who transport children and pets. It's a typical suburban mom setup. For this reason, you can drive it without worrying about being mistaken for a police officer.
Chevrolet Tahoe: The reason why Tahoe is unlikely to be suspected of harboring a police officer is simply that there are so many of them. This is because the Tahoe is a very reliable and good looking SUV. If you want to blend in with the rest, one of the best ways to do this is to become one of the many.
F: If you drive an F-150, you don't usually work in law enforcement. You are more likely to be carrying tools, ladders, perhaps landscaping materials, rather than a gun and handcuffs. The F-150 is the car of hard-working men and women. It's not that we're saying cops don't work hard, it's just that we don't usually think of them as working from a pickup truck.
Ford Mustang: A policeman in a stange? Well, not usually the duty cop. If you're undercover, a muscle car is usually not the kind of car a person would expect to see a cop driving. Of course, there may be exceptions to this, depending on the nature of the assignment.
