Cvpi P71 Crown Vic - Best Color Combo - New Interior - Every Available Option on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
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:
The recent upgrades and repairs are:
While this is a great example of a late-model P71, it is not perfect. There are some areas that are worth noting.
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 Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks
Tue, Jan 6 2015Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...
