I used to work on them, markeds get rolled over so fast, they do their 160,000kms retirement mileage in as little as 2-3 years most times... on ops side lots of undesirable cars sit for ages because nobody likes them... so for patrol you get massive wear and tear in a short time with a limited budget for repairs so a lot of stuff is not done up to spec... for unmarked you get cars that sit for a year and then go into forced use and all the problems from a car sitting ie: batteries, rubbers gone hard, brakes rusted solid, etc.
I'm speaking purely for RCMP though, municipalities shoestring their RCMP budgets as much as they possibly can so money is always tight. I'm sure VPD is in a little bit better position financially.
