2000 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor - Crown Vic Police Package on 2040-cars

La Crescenta, California, United States

Up for sale is my 2000 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. This car runs and drives great and I've really enjoyed owning it. This is my 3rd I've had over the years. This car was originally silver, most likely a detective unit. This was NEVER a black and white! I was told I am the first civilian owner of this particular vehicle. I really hate to let it go but I've got 6 cars at the moment and not enough room to keep them all! 

The body, paint, and interior are all in great condition for their age. Please don't expect perfection though from a 14 year old service vehicle. Car has the usual door dings and scratches here and there with a couple bumper scrapes. The rear trunk trim below the license plate and left reverse light is broken around the middle. Shouldn't be too hard to replace. Interior looks good for its age and is all matching gray. It appears that this car has a prisoner cage at one time though so there are a few holes in the sides of the headliner. The original wrap on the steering wheel is in poor shape though and I'd recommend putting a cover on it. Car has tinted windows all around but the rear glass tint is showing it's age with some peeling.

The engine runs well and transmission has no issues. During my ownership I have replaced all 8 ignition coils and spark plugs with new. I've also replaced the serpentine belt and given it a recent oil change. Front shocks are about 2000 miles old and were replaced with Motocraft. Car may need ball joints soon because it's got a rattle over bumps sometimes. I am not 100% on this but that's my hunch. Car is sitting on the original police package wheels with center caps. Front tires have plenty of tread but the rears are getting low. Car passes smog with flying colors and no issues. No check engine light! And I must mention that the air conditioning works VERY well!

Overall it's a great car and I've enjoyed driving it. It's safe and it's comfortable. Not to mention it can be pretty intimidating! It's now looking for a new home and the highest bidder wins! I have the clean CA title here and ready to go. This car is being sold AS IS with absolutely no warranty. Thanks for looking and please email me with any questions.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.

Ford Recalls Nearly 435,000 Vehicles

Mon, Apr 7 2014

Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats. The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem. The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included. Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem. The Escapes covered by the recall were built from Oct. 22, 1999 through Dec. 19, 2003 at the Kansas City Assembly plant, and from May 1, 2003 through Jan. 23, 2004 at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford said in a statement issued Monday. They were originally sold or registered in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Indiana, Michigan, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Also covered are Escapes sold or registered in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador. The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said. Recalls Ford

Ford fights back against patent trolls

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Some people are just awful. Some organizations are just as awful. And when those people join those organizations, we get stories like this one, where Ford has spent the past several years combatting so-called patent trolls. According to Automotive News, these malicious organizations have filed over a dozen lawsuits against the company since 2012. They work by purchasing patents, only to later accuse companies of misusing intellectual property, despite the fact that the so-called patent assertion companies never actually, you know, do anything with said intellectual property. AN reports that both Hyundai and Toyota have been victimized by these companies, with the former forced to pay $11.5 million to a company called Clear With Computers. Toyota, meanwhile, settled with Paice LLC, over its hybrid tech. The world's largest automaker agreed to pay $5 million, on top of $98 for every hybrid it sold (if the terms of the deal included each of the roughly 1.5 million hybrids Toyota sold since 2000, the company would have owed $147 million). Including the previous couple of examples, AN reports 107 suits were filed against automakers last year alone. But Ford is taking action to prevent further troubles... kind of. The company has signed on with a firm called RPX, in what sounds strangely like a protection racket. Automakers like Ford pay RPX around $1.5 million each year for access to its catalog of patents, which it spent nearly $1 billion building. "We take the protection and licensing of patented innovations very seriously," Ford told AN via email. "And as many smart businesses are doing, we are taking proactive steps to protect against those seeking patent infringement litigation." What are your thoughts on this? Should this patent business be better managed? Is it reasonable that companies purchase patents only to file suit against the companies that build actual products? Have your say in Comments.
