2000 Ford Crown Victoria Lx & Lots Of Extra Parts on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
I purchased this car back in early June, 2013 and had 128,8xx miles on it when bought. Currently it has 133,578 miles on it and I do not drive it anymore. It is started and warmed up every 2-3 days through the winter. The car does have rust but not as much as other same year midwest Crown Vics. Three of the wheel wells have been bondo'd and painted with a similar body color by the previous owner. The two front doors do have some slight rust and paint bubbling on the very bottom edges but the doors do close and seal correctly. The heat and AC work very good.
A couple days after I bought it the transmission died. I had a rebuilt Jasper transmission installed and a brand new transmission cooler installed. I have the paperwork and the transmission will come with the difference of a 3 year/100k mile warranty. I installed a class III/IV Curt tow receiver with a 400lb tongue weight and a 4000lb gross trailer limit. I used it to tow a lightweight trailer with a canoe on it just a couple times. It is wired for trailer lights. If you would like to purchase the trailer feel free to send me a question or message. It's an assembled 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer with a 1200lb capacity. I will include the tow hitch if you do want to purchase the trailer. The spark plugs and wires were replaced the day after I bought the car back in June. The front rotors and tie rod ends were replaced about a month and a half ago and have no more than 20 miles or so on them. The car received a front end alignment today (1/15/14). The front seats do show some wear on them especially the driver's side but the power motors still work like new. The front window motors are a bit worn but do work. The driver's side REAR window does not roll down as I suspect it has come off the runners. The car was previously owned by a smoker but I have cleaned 99% of the smell and tar out. The car has been steamed cleaned inside multiple times and the smoke smell is gone. There are a couple cigarette burn marks on the driver's seat and on the carpet, not many though. I decided not to return all the parts that I bought for the car and will include them with the car. They are as follows including the part numbers. -Moog Front Coil Springs - 80090 -Moog Spring Seats - K160066 -Moog Sway Bar bushings - K8731 -Wagner Rear Brake Pads - SX674 -Bosch Fuel Pump - 69131 -KYB Gas-A-Just Front Shocks - KG5572 -Fel-Pro Fuel Injector O-Ring Set - ES-70599 (not needed to be installed, bought on clearance) -Autobest Gas Strainer - F276S -Ford Sway Bar Bolts/Clips - N806729-S436 -Dorman Oil Drain Plug - 090-115 (was bought for a 2002 Ford Explorer, not sure if fits and is not needed) -Haynes Repair Manual The front suspension pieces and the fuel pump do need to be installed. Today the check engine light came on and I had it scanned at Autozone, code P0301, misfire on cylinder 1. I'm 99% sure it's the fuel pump but I will check the engine during the week for spark plug problems or vacuum leaks and will update the ad if the problem is fixed. The car is drivable, it just idles a little rough. There is a crack on the top of the windshield on the passenger side. It is about 6 inches long and I'm pretty sure it's from the week of bitter cold and snow that Chicago received last week. The passenger side headlight is also cracked and is covered with tape. The light still works though. The fuel tank is 19 gallons but the most I've ever been able to pump into it is about 15 gallons. I'm not sure if it is due to a clogged evap line or canister but the problem never bothered me and I never bothered to look into it.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
The next-generation wearable will be your car
Fri, Jan 8 2016This year's CES has had a heavy emphasis on the class of device known as the "wearable" – think about the Apple Watch, or Fitbit, if that's helpful. These devices usually piggyback off of a smartphone's hardware or some other data connection and utilize various onboard sensors and feedback devices to interact with the wearer. In the case of the Fitbit, it's health tracking through sensors that monitor your pulse and movement; for the Apple Watch and similar devices, it's all that and some more. Manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality. As evidenced by Volvo's newly announced tie-up with the Microsoft Band 2 fitness tracking wearable, car manufacturers are starting to explore how wearable devices will help drivers. The On Call app brings voice commands, spoken into the Band 2, into the mix. It'll allow you to pass an address from your smartphone's agenda right to your Volvo's nav system, or to preheat your car. Eventually, Volvo would like your car to learn things about your routines, and communicate back to you – or even, improvise to help you wake up earlier to avoid that traffic that might make you late. Do you need to buy a device, like the $249 Band 2, and always wear it to have these sorts of interactions with your car? Despite the emphasis on wearables, CES 2016 has also given us a glimmer of a vehicle future that cuts out the wearable middleman entirely. Take Audi's new Fit Driver project. The goal is to reduce driver stress levels, prevent driver fatigue, and provide a relaxing interior environment by adjusting cabin elements like seat massage, climate control, and even the interior lighting. While it focuses on a wearable device to monitor heart rate and skin temperature, the Audi itself will use on-board sensors to examine driving style and breathing rate as well as external conditions – the weather, traffic, that sort of thing. Could the seats measure skin temperature? Could the seatbelt measure heart rate? Seems like Audi might not need the wearable at all – the car's already doing most of the work. Whether there's a device on a driver's wrist or not, manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality.
