If there is a speeding problem, have the deputies do their job and write tickets. Maybe he can sell some of those unneeded vehicles and gain some cash for his department.

IMHO little chance of getting anything more for these old vehicles beyond scrap value
by the time the Sheriff is ready to mothball a used patrol car it is practically worthless....hundreds of thousands of miles on them, an interior worn out and a dash riddled with holes from equipment that had been installed and removed, if the tires were in good shape they've been replaced with worn out tires from another vehicle...replacement parts are expensive because the cars are designed for high performance and are built differently than the cars sold to John Q. Public...add to that the cost of repainting it...
