my '01 Focus is kill. I need a new ride.
a local dealership has an ex-police 2010 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor for $3,450, 179,000 miles on it. very good condition. I'm leaning heavily towards getting it.
what does Veeky Forums think of crown vics?
Buy it.
Great cars, but municipal ones are garbage. Try and find a civilian one.
But police package speed
I would much rather have a civilian one that wasn't blown to kingdom come than a police package that was.
They never took care of these things. Put off maintenance as long as possible, and the officers were not nice to them. Hammering down on the throttle, over and over and over again. Not to mention all the electrical shit since the lightbar and other accessories were pulled out.
also can I get a quick rundown on Flex Fuel? I've never had a car that could accept E85 before
honestly? That price is a bit much for a used cop car. common mileage is 130k, 179 is going a bit higher than average, and it will have a lot of idle time on it.
Average price for a Panther is in the 2700 range, and absolutely not more than 3000, unless it has super low miles or something.
Also, the downside of a CV, (ESPECIALLY a used cop car) is everyone will think you are a cop.
if you can, look for a Grand Marquis instead.
or, regardless of that or the CV, try and find one that's been owned by an old person. because those are usually in relatively good condition.
its a GM dealership, not some shady used car lot
I'm pretty sure the dealership wouldn't be trying to sell it if it was "blown to kingdom come" atleast I hope

how is that a downside other than maybe people will slow down if they see me
