Just as people retire from their respective professions, so do automobiles. These former service vehicles, when their time is up, are not always put out to pasture. Many dealers of used cars may specialize in refurbishing these autos for resale back into service or to the general public. One online purveyor's specialty is renovating used police sedans. This particular site offers these former interceptors for sale with between 70,000 to 71,000 miles on them. Models come in all black, all white or black and white and the prices range from $13,000 to $14,000. Former postal jeeps can also be found though they are not as easy to track down. For instance, there is a two-door 1983 model mail truck up for auction online with only 60,000 miles on it. Another seller in Florida offers the same make for just $1,900. Such vehicles may be handy for small businesses doing deliveries or perhaps just for the novelty of stepping right onto the curb from the right-hand driver side steering wheel. Used cars from a different branch of service can be purchased from sites dealing with military surplus. Retired army jeeps may be perfect for the average sporting man to go fishing, hunting, or camping in something old school. Most available models date between the 1940s to the late 1960s whose prices range from $1,200 to $20,000, depending on their condition. Used school buses may not have the same appeal as off-roading in an army jeep or cruising down the highway in an interceptor, but can prove useful in some practical and novel ways. For a company, they may be employed as a means of transporting labor, for a church, conveying parishioners or even for a band on tour. Many have converted these former school buses into mobile homes. Used school buses can carry from 16 up to 84-passengers and prices may vary between sizes and models. A 2002 make for 20 passengers was selling for $23,900 and 2005 84-passenger bus was priced at $65,000. Even less conventional used cars from emergency services have been purchased and have undergone conversions of peculiar kinds. One such person bought a used ambulance and turned in into a camper with four-wheel drive. Another inventive individual renovated a former hook and ladder into a food truck with a built-in grill. These examples go to prove there is life after service, even for used cars. Their only limitation is their condition, price point, and the owner's imagination. While many of these older service vehicles may seem worthless after their working life, there is a range of uses and a wide enough market for them to still have relevance in today's world.
