Re: Purchasing a used Police Ford Crown Victoria
I currently own a 1989 Ford Crown Vic police car and my dad has a '96 Crown police car. They are both in excellent condition mechanically. The body and frame on the '96 are basically perfect, though the interior is a little rough (I think that's pretty common). That one had 200,000 miles on it when we bought it, and we just took a long trip with it (12 hours) and it made it with nary a complaint. It is the nicest, smoothest running car we've ever owned.
Basically, if you can give the car a thorough inspection and can test drive it, as long as there aren't any major red flags, you can buy it without worrying. They really are great cars.
BTW, on our long trip, we got 24 mpg on the highway at 70-75 mph. We were really impressed!
