 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

Dark Toreador Red Metallic 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with Charcoal interior.
It never was a marked unit! It never had a cage! Tinted windows. Recently out of service in North Carolina.
Individual Assigned Supervisor take-home vehicle.

108,372 documented miles and 2191 idle hours.

Clear Title, Maintenance Records, User Manuals, Window Sticker and CarFax in-hand.

CarFax shows 3 collisions. I have these minor damages documented through photos and repair records. One collision was only the front license plate bracket!

Interior/exterior holes for police equipment plugged.

This unit is nice inside and out and has been very well-maintained. Even over-maintained from the records. 39 oil changes!
It is very responsive and smooth-shifting.
This car has no known mechanical defects and it runs and drives excellent.
A/C is COLD. It has the correct Goodyear RSA Tires including spare. Front tires are 8/32 and rear tires are 7/32 of tread.
The rear door-open rods are installed and the locks and doors work.

I am the second owner and have enjoyed the car for 8 months.

As with any used vehicle, it does show wear, chips, dings etc.

Notable things I should mention. It has 3 dings the size of a BB. One on the left rear roof. One on the back of
the trunk lid beside the Ford emblem and one on the rear passenger door. There is some cracking to the paint
on the left rear bumper cover corner. These minor things are hard to capture in a photo. It had 3 antennas on the rear.
2 were on the trunk lid and 1 on the trunk inside channel. Those holes are plugged. The only thing that does not work,
is the ticket light. I did not see the factory wires in the headliner when I pulled the light down. Should be there.
The driver seat has 2 holes on the outside hinge area. 1 about dime size and the other about quarter size.
**Since the pictures, the antenna on the rear quarter-panel has been removed.

Here is what I have done to the car :
I put an aftermarket Chrome grille on it. I have the Factory black honeycomb if you would like that better.
I put a quality console in it.
Oil Changed.
Detailed wash/wax.
Removed old pin-stripe and installed new 3m pin-stripes.
Installed rear brake pads.
Rotate/balance tires.

I welcome any and all questions you might have.

120 additional photos available on request.

I encourage serious buyers to message me your contact (phone/email) info, and I will be happy to discuss this vehicle in detail.

It is rare to have a police vehicle with all records from the time it rolled off the trailer (new) to current.

Available for viewing/inspections. Currently not driven and housed in a climate controlled garage.

This car is for sale locally and therefore auction could end early.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
