The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale by auction:

2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L with a mileage of 102,483 miles.

This vehicle is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied.  ALL sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is bottom line what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  If the vehicle does not sell, it will either be relisted or sent to a public auction.

Again, the vehicle has 102,483 original miles.  There is no major damage or rust to the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  The vehicle has power locks, windows, mirrors, trunk release, power driver's seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (allows you to push the button and take the ignition key out to keep the car running, however, it cannot be placed in drive and stolen), rear defrost, dome light, interior lights, and spotlight ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.  The vehicle also has a manual tilt steering wheel, power adjustable gas pedal, AM/FM Stereo, and air conditioning that is in good working order.  The vehicle is equipped with cruise control, however, we did not use it often and don't know if it still functions (probably works).  The vehicle has driver's-side and passenger-side air bags.  The vehicle's exterior lights, lamps, signals, wipers, defrost, spotlight, etc. are all in good working order.  There are no illuminated lights on in the dash indicating any problems with the vehicle.  The tires are in good condition.  Lastly, all routine and major maintenance was completed by either our village certified mechanic, dealership, or outsourced to other professional shops.

The vehicle shows normal signs of wear-n-tear including scratches, dings, and dents, however, again, there are no major imperfections in the vehicle's body.  The exterior of the vehicle's roof has three small holes that were drilled for a police light bar that was removed.  The holes have since been plugged after the removal of the light bar.  The police decals on the exterior have all been removed, however, some glue is slightly visible.  A good detailing of the vehicle should eliminate the glue marks.  The interior roof liner has a couple of small holes between the front driver's seat and the front passenger seat that once house a police camera (has been removed).  There is also a very small hole in the interior roof liner behind the dome light (barely visible).  The rear vinyl seat is brand new.  When the vehicle was a police vehicle, we had a plastic molded seat in the rear that has since been removed.  The original seat has been placed back in the vehicle.  The front cloth seats are in fair to good condition, but will need to be cleaned.  The vinyl flooring in the vehicle appears to be in good condition.  The vehicle has a slight smell of burning oil, however, there are no visible signs by us (untrained mechanics).  The following reflects the service record on the vehicle for more major repairs/services:

Throttle Body and Motor Assembly replaced 021110, A/C Clutch Connector and AEA Wire Assembly replaced 031710, ETB, Throttle Body and Motor Assembly replaced 042610, Horn Assembly and Wheel Alignment completed 111610, A/C Condenser replaced 010311, Temp Blend Door Motor and Motor Assembly replaced 031711, Brakes, Alignment, Both Rear Shocks replaced 042911, AM/FM Stereo replaced 060111, Engine Cool Fan, Motor Assembly and AC Relay replaced 032212, Rear Axle Shaft Assembly, AA Seal Assembly, AA Bearing Assembly replaced 091312, Right Rear Speed Sensor and Sensor Assembly replaced 100112, A/C Condenser replaced 111212, Driver's Seat Rebuilt 113012, Water Pump Assembly and AB Filter Assembly replaced 010713, Lower Ball Joints, Drive Belt, Transmission Flush, Alignment, Instrument Cluster, Fuel Injector Flush, Reseal Oil Filter Adaptor all completed/replaced 030513, ABS Sensor Assembly, Rear Shaft Assembly, Rear Differential Service all completed 032213, AA Coil Assembly, Ignition & Element Assembly, Coil, Plug, Throttle Body, and Left Bank O2 Sensor replaced 042313, Blower Motor replaced and A/C Recharge completed 081013, Cooling Fan Module and Motor Assembly replaced 093013, Wiper Motor Assembly replaced 103113, A Shaft Assembly-Rear Axle, Seal, Bearing Assembly replaced 110713, Rebuilt Transmission 112513, Brakes, Alignment, Intake Manifold, Thermostat, Seals, Gaskets, and Steering Wheel Shaft Assembly replaced/completed 020514.

12 new cars that will never go out of style

Tue, Nov 23 2021

Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool.  Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless.  These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot.  There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites

Fri, Jul 21 2023

Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. “Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen

2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
