2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Manlius, New York, United States
Up for you’re consideration is a dark gray 2008 Ford Police Interceptor. This is not your typical high mileage / high idle hour beat up ex-police cruiser so please read the description in its entirety. This vehicle was purchased NEW by me in early 2008 from a Sheriff’s Deputy in MA and is highly optioned. He had ordered the vehicle along with several others for a private security firm that he runs on the side. After purchasing the vehicle, his firm decided to go with SUV’s. Subsequently, this Crown Vic and several others like it were released for sale to the public. That is how I came about purchasing this vehicle which at the time only had 1,100 miles and fewer than 5 idle hours (ONLY HAS 300 idle hours NOW - THREE HUNDRED). I still have the original eBay listing for this vehicle, bill of sale, copy of the MA title, and original window sticker with a breakdown of all the extra options (cruise, carpet, CD player, etc). I also have a list of service records dating back to when the car had its first transmission service done at 20K miles. This vehicle is ALL ORIGINAL. I stacked the mileage on pretty quickly because I commute a long distance to three different jobs utilizing the NYS thruway (40+ miles one way to each job). Most all of the mileage on this car was done on the highway; very little stop and go driving and very little idle time. I have maintained a very strict service schedule with this vehicle since I have owned it using only AMSOIL full synthetic fluids in the engine, transmission, power steering, and rear differential. The engine oil is changed every 5K-10K and the transmission receives a full service every 20K (flush w/ AMSOIL ATF and WIX filter).
Now for the good stuff - Not only is this car in mint condition for a 6 year old vehicle, but it is also moded with the following: Stainless Works long tube headers w/ catted lead pipes hooked up to the factory exhaust system, new OEM ported upper intake plenum, MSD ignition coils, new NKG iridium spark plugs, steeda under drive pulleys, EMP performance water pump, Ford 180* thermostat, B&M deep ATF pan with drain plug (holds 3 extra quarts of ATF) new Goodyear gatorback serpentine belt, and DiabloSport tuner ($2,700 in mods). The tuner is included with the sale along with all of the factory items that were replaced with the above performance items (factory catalytic converters not included, only the factory headers). This car has NEVER been abused or beaten on. I was not planning on selling this car which is why I sank so much money into it. My end goal was to make it similar in performance to a Mercury Marauder. The mods have only been in the car for about a thousand miles and let me tell yah, she hauls arse and gets 20+ MPG doing it! Also included in this sale are 3 additional sets of rims, 1 set are re-conditioned factory LX sport rims with Goodyear Assurance touring tires (60% tread), the other set are the original steel police rims that came with the car (I also have the OEM wheel covers). I replaced the original steel rims with after market steel rims because they got rusty from having the wheel covers on them. I now have the new rims on the car with General Arctic winter tires (60-70% tread). The wheel sensors are attached to the LX sport rims so the tire pressure light is currently on. The brake pads and rotors are NEW. The rotors are from Brake Performance and are slotted (lifetime warranty against warping & defects). The fuel filter is new. I just performed the following maintenance: Fresh Amsoil synthetic fluid in the engine with Amsoil filter, fresh Amsoil ATF fluid, coolant system flush at the Ford dealer, new Odyssey Extreme battery ($300.00 battery). THIS CAR NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The interior is absolutely mint with no stains, odors, tears / rips, or holes from removal of police equipment. The back seats were sat in less than a dozen times. The carpet is like new as are the factory floor mats. The exterior is in immaculate condition and was just recently “touched up” by a professional (Brush guard along bottom of doors and around wheel wells, new front and rear bumper, new front windshield). The undercarriage is very clean with minimal surface rust and no damage of any kind. I always make a point in the winter to have the undercarriage washed at least once a week.
NADA private party retail price for a base model Police Interceptor of exact mileage and model year is $7,100. Being as this is NOT a base model interceptor and comes with 2 sets of tires, 3 sets of rims, and more, I have set the opening bid at 7K. The price is not negotiable! I am selling this vehicle because I have just purchased a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Utility as it better suites my needs. If you want a like new police package Crown Vic that is in mint condition, highly optioned, and never in police service, this may be one of you’re last opportunities as Ford is no longer producing these vehicles. Don’t let the mileage scare you, this vehicle is not even half way through its life span yet. I have seen and driven abused patrol cars and former taxis with over 200K miles on them; original engines and transmissions, with thousands of idle hours that are still going strong. This car is LIKE NEW. Fly in and drive across country.
If you have a question regarding something that has NOT been mentioned above, please don’t hesitate to ask. Buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle if unable to drive home. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close. If you are fairly close and would like to set up a time to inspect the vehicle or take it for a test drive, let me know and arrangements will be made. Mileage will be slightly higher at time of sale as I drive this car from time to time so it’s not sitting. Vehicle is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. If you have negative feedback or no feedback you must contact me before placing a bid. Remember, you’re bid is a contract and this is a bid-to-own auction. Non-paying bidders will be dealt with accordingly. I have 100% feedback for a reason. This car was described accurately! Bid with confidence! |

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below.
