Might be something with the manufacturer only wanting this "police package" in the hands of law enforcement. Certain mods were made that makes it better suited for pursuit. There is also a cost component that the vehicle has to be made available at a certain price point. Usually most agencies have a deal with certain dealers to supply their vehicles though and they don't go shopping on ebay. Strange this is on ebay. Seems sketchy. I agree that the Seller should have used the phrase general public instead of "civilian."
Like was said above, find another vehicle to buy. You will save yourself the time and bother with having to deal with this seller. If your son is buying a new vehicle and paying a new vehicle price, it would be better to buy local from a reputable dealership then sight unseen on ebay. I have never seen anyone outside of law enforcement buying a police pursuit vehicle new from a dealership though.
There are government surplus auctions on-line that sell older fleet vehicles that have the police package installed at rather good prices.
