Year:2011 Mileage:89806
Location:

La Grange, Illinois, United States

La Grange, Illinois, United States

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

2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, with a mileage of 89,806 miles.

The 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 89,806 miles.  There is no major damage or rust on the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings and dents.  The vehicle has power windows, locks, mirrors, trunk release, driver seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (allows you to push switch, take keys out of ignition, and the car will keep running.  The car cannot be put into drive until the keys are placed back in the ignition to prevent theft).  The vehicle also has rear defrost, dome light, interior lighting, spotlight, power adjustable gas pedal, manual tilt steering wheel, AM/FM stereo, spotlight, air conditioning ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.  The vehicle also has cruise control, however, we do not know if it is working, as we did not use it-it probably works.  The vehicle has driver and passenger-side air bags and ABS braking.  The vehicle's two front seats are cloth and in good shape, but dirty.  The rear vinyl seating is brand new/never used.  When the vehicle was a patrol car, we had a molding plastic seat in the rear, which has since been removed.  The vinyl flooring appears to be in good shape, but dirty.  The tires appear to be in good condition.  There are no illuminated warning signals on in the dash indicating any malfunction with the vehicle.  It appears to be running and driving fine.  All lights, lamps, signals, horn, wipers, etc. are all in good working order.

The vehicle, again, shows normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  There was a dent in the passenger-side rear 1/4, which was "hammered out."  There are scratches on the front bumper-passenger side.  The police decals were professionally removed, however, some of the glue is slightly visible.  A good detailing of the vehicle should eliminate the glue.  The top outside of the roof has two plugged holes, which were originally drilled for police equipment (no leaks-professionally plugged).  The inside roof liner has a couple small holes between the driver and passenger seat, which once housed a police camera system.  There is also a very small hole in back of the dome light from equipment.  The hanger clip is missing from the rear passenger side.  Lastly, the vehicle will need a good detailing.  The following reflects the service record for the vehicle for more major items:

Air Bag Jewels, warning lamp and V Belt replaced 051710, A/C Diode and Relay replaced 062210, Water Pump Assembly and Front Braked replaced  091710, Ignition System, Transmission Flush, Fuel Filter all completed 030912, Front/Rear Lower Ball Joints, Transmission, Cooler/Condenser, Front Brakes/Rotors/Pads all replaced 062512, Rear Axle Bearings/Seals, Front/Rear Braked all replaced 100212, Air Bag Jewels/Warning Lamp replaced 110812, Driver Seat Cushion Rebuilt 120612, Transmission Filter, Alignment completed 121912, Cooling Fan Motor/Fan Assembly Fuel Filter, Drive Belt, Transmission Fluid Flush, Fuel Filter Injector Flush all completed 060413, New Tires, Fuel Filter replaced 062713, Vehicle Involved In a Traffic Crash to the Passenger Side Rear Bumper in the Amount of $865.19-MINOR on 081913, Thermostat and Seal replaced 110413, Water Pump, V Belt, and Front Brake Pads replaced 021814.  All routine maintenance and repairs completed on a regular basis by our certified village mechanic, dealership, or outsourced to a professional auto shop.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
