Your FOP of Virginia has purchased a replacement, slighty used vehicle.
We are now the proud owners of a 2010 Dodge minivan. The previous car was traded in and we received an excellent finanical arrangement from the dealership. If any member is interested in purchasing a great slightly driven car, contact our new friends at Basic Auto Sales in Ashland. They helped us a lot in this transaction and they want to help other FOP members as well. Give them a call and tell them you are a member of the FOP of Virginia.
