I'm offering this Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with no reserve. The car is in the Pittsburgh area.
If you like driving in the left lane and having everyone move out of your way, then this is the car for you!
I've owned it over a year and a half and have driven it daily, including two cross country trips.
The car was originally owned by The Putnamville Correctional Institute and I have ALL the maintenance records.
It has an engine that purrs and the intake manifold was replaced just 5,000 miles before I bought it. If you're familiar with the 4.6 you know the intake is the weak link on this engine. It will fail. The replacement is of a new design which utilizes aluminum where the original was plastic.
This CVPI is equipped with cruise control which is rare to see in a cop car. Holds steady at whichever speed you set it.
You may think the car has high miles, but I've been in a dozen cabs that had 300,000+ miles, all with the original engine! And for a car of this age, that's just over 13,000 miles a year.
I get 20 MPG cruising at 80MPH. The A/C is currently not working because of a leak in the line. All other A/C components are present and operational. There is a little rust around the drivers fender and a minor amount at the bottom of the back door. The paint was peeling on the hood so I just gave it a coat of gloss gray paint.
The ABS light is on and the code reader says it's the Left Rear Wheel Sensor Input Circuit Failure (Code 1175). It still passes Texas inspection and the brakes function normally so I have never investigated it further. The service dept. at the Ford dealer said it may just be a connection, but worse case scenario would be about $100 for a new sensor and 1 hour labor at $90.
I just replaced all 4 tires from WalMart and also purchased lifetime balance and road hazard protection. The car starts every time and has NEVER failed me. All I've done is change the oil (Mobil 1) and replaced the belt, not because it broke, but just for insurance. The car pulls SLIGHTLY to the right, but it has never bothered me. I just want to mention all I know.
I now have 800 feedback, all positive, and have been on ebay 11 years. I would not sell a car that I wouldn't personally drive cross country. And I just did! Sunday I was in Houston and as I type this, I'm in my hotel room in Elizabethtown Kentucky. I'm stopping later in Wheeling West Virginia and will be in Pittsburgh Wednesday. The car will be in the Sewickley part of town if you want to come look at it.
The only reason I'm selling it is because I already have my Buick in PA and my garage only holds one car. :)
I'll post more detailed photos on Thursday after I wash it.
This would make someone a safe first car or if you need transportation for 5 people.
I know I will miss it, but I just have one car too many. Email or call with questions. 817-368-9477
Thanks for looking and good luck!

I also want to add the car has a good spare tire and includes the police trunk organizer with Kevlar panel. The intake manifold and spark plugs were replaced at 196K miles.

I'm also throwing in a good, used alternator and an aftermarket plastic center console. Not the greatest, but functional.

I also want to mention one of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels is missing. They originally did not come on this car. They were from my Suburban.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
