Up for sale is a beautiful 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI) P71 Package with a Clear Texas Title in-hand. This is a highly reliable, powerful, and economical (28 mpg HWY) car. It has never left me stranded, starts on the first try every time, and does not leak. It drives straight and smooth, the AC blows cold, and it is regularly detailed (I'm an ex-detailer). The transmission is strong and crisp (zero slips in any gear). The VIN is 2FAFP71V48X142816

This CVPI is finished out in one of the rarest, yet most desirable color combos, Medium Gray Metallic over Black. I waited for months for this combo before purchasing this particular one. This P71 was retired from active duty by a Georgia Sheriff's Department less than 6,000 miles ago (January 2013). During that tenure, it was municipality maintained; now, currently professionally maintained and cleaned regularly. Being a southern car (first Georgia, now Texas), there is no rust on this vehicle. This car passed inspection last month with flying colors.

For the wear items, I estimate there is 50% life left on the tires (OEM Goodyears) and 60% left on the brakes.

There are no lights or police equipment in this vehicle. The spotlight and extra dome (ticket) light are legal. The antennas are dummies and the other roof holes have been plugged with color-matched PVC plastic plugs.

This P71 is loaded with every available option at the time, including:

Kevlar-Lined Front Doors
Adjustable Pedals (power)
Tilt Wheel
Traction Control (very rare)
AM/FM/CD Player
Door Moldings (most are missing the front door moldings)
Interior Carpet & Floor Mats (most have vinyl)

The recent upgrades and repairs are:

New GoRhino! Push Bar
New Dashboard (no holes!)
New Vinyl Backseat
New Rear Door Panels
New Serpentine Belt & Tensioner
New Headlights & Turn Signals (from 2011 model)
Professionally Tinted Windows (15% front, 5% rear)
OEM Spare Tire (CVPI's don't come with spare tires)
Kicker 10" Subwoofer w/ MTX Amp

While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect. There are some areas that are worth noting.

New speedometer; last one died and needed replacement so the mileage reads incorrectly (reads 83,xxx versus actual of 113,xxx)
Needs 1 tire pressure and 1 ABS sensor (per pulling the codes)
Paint on rear 1/4 panel was repaired incorrectly (pictured); it isn't terrible, but it may bother some
There are some dings on the car, mainly from the light bar on the roof
Driver's seat has a tear from officer's pistol/holster; easily recovered or replaced
Very slight exhaust manifold leak when cold (very common in these cars); goes away after car is warm

Please review all of the pictures thoroughly and ask any questions you may have. I tried to be as honest as I could with this description. This car has served me well for the past 18 months. Shortly after purchasing, I began working from home (hence the low mileage since purchasing) and no longer have a need for two vehicles. It will be hard to part with-as the car is reliable, comfortable, and strong. It provided free security for my home and neighbors, just from sitting in the driveway. These cars go for 300k+ miles when used as taxis and I have no doubt that this will be one of those examples.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
