The organization I currently work for seems to have all sorts of vehicles from all of the big three, buses exempted. Compare this to a previous employer in which we had some exclusivity contract with Ford in which we were supposed to be getting preferential pricing (although I suspect it had more to do with kickbacks).
Some of the vehicles are getting up there in age, although not as bad as my last employer which wouldn’t replace a pickup from 1968 that they were still using at one of my stations. Right now we have a large number of S-10 pickups and Blazers, in surprisingly good condition for their age and the fact that this is in the Midwest. But there’s one vehicle currently in use that I'd love to buy if they ever decide to get rid of it:
Sweet...

Well, they did just take it out of the dehydrator-equipped inflatable storage bag just before I took this picture... (j/k)
Most of our vehicles are in surprisingly good condition. The shop doesn’t seem to spare any expense keeping things looking and running correctly. Heck, at least one of our S-10s got a nice set of Corbeau seats when the originals wore out.
Some of the heavier duty trucks, especially the ones that work the rail lines, are rather rusty, but they’re in the process of replacing those now. Passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks seem to get cleaned more frequently, and probably have better rust protection than custom-bodied trucks.

I’m not gonna lie, it’s kinda cool to have a 68 pickup as a company car, provided it’s not a rust bucket
A 2-door XJ is cool too

Put me in line for that XJ next.
Do you get a chance to buy them or do they have to go to auction?

I don't yet know the process for disposing of surplus vehicles, and will have to ask. As a public agency there has to be some well-defined policy in place, but until I saw this XJ there hasn't been anything of interest that would have me finding out the details...

I didn’t check, but it’s a fleet vehicle in the US, so it’s highly unlikely...
