2000 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Paramus, New Jersey, United States
i have for sale a 2000 ford crown Victoria have owned the car for a little over a year now and am selling simply because i don't drive it any more.rather then let it sit and waste away id rather see it go to some one else who will appreciate it as much as i.Things i have done to the car since i have owned it include-
2 new tires up front replaced ti rod ends power steering pump new grill up front (just spray painted white but looks alot better then the stock honey comb grill in my opinion. new H.I.D head lights and marauder corner lights.This setup up is not the cheapo plug and play setups you see the Honda guys driving around with.this cost me about 450 for every thing and has the projectors in the head lights.all they need is for the high beams to be wired up (iv never needed them so i never bothered) and for the head lights to be aligned.The light it puts out is nice and crisp and clean. I had a new starter alternator and battery put it (the battery was the original motocraft from when the car was new so it was time) the alternator was making noise so i replaced it and the starter wouldn't engage some times. I had a new tank installed as the old one was starting to rust around the straps (common on ford panther vehicles) so i had a brand new one installed along with fuel pump and fuel filter , New euahst set up put in is a little loud for my taste but does sound good straight piped from the cats back along with new h pipe and tail pipes installed,passenger side is still original but i have the new pipe in my garage waiting to go on. I had a new body painted rear fascia put on instead of the factory black one.(looks alot better. I also installed new l.e.d tail lights and 3rd brake light lastly the last thing i have done is i just recently had new side view mirrors installed that match the body of the car. The car also has a Bluetooth ken wood head unit now things that the car needs: the passenger side cats need to be replaced.was getting around to it but it has been to cold to work on the car. it has an evap leak some were not sure if it is from when the tank was replaced or under the hood from when i put the new intake manifold on. speaking of which it may need a new intake manifold.its not bad hasn't been causing a miss fire or nothing serious i just noticed the intake was leaking in October and maybe added coolant since then.i still drive the car when its not snowing and really just semi retired it beginning this month since i just purchased my truck.the leak really isnt serious i had a new intake installed in spring and i guess it didn't seal right around the coolant port for the heater core in back it needs an alignment after i did the front end i never did this although i may still do it as it is not something i can do my self any way. and lastly it needs a windshield.i was driving mid November and something whacked my windshield.it is right above the rear view mirror so it never bothered me and i just lived with it.some people i could see it being annoying to how ever. I also had the whole under side frame and every thing under the car painted in p.o.r 15.This is serious stuff and stops the car from rusting along with leaving the frame looking nice and painted.This is what professionals use when restoring cars if you have never heard of it google it it is really good stuff. I also had a aftermarket valve body installed so the car shifts real nice and hard now.Along with a trans service car has a valid inspection sticker until 2015. I also have a whole bunch of spare parts for this car hub caps ,stock head lights,tail lights,coils,injectors,im sure there is more but i cant renumber. if interested please contact me any time..The cats being the most expensive thing she needs i found on rock auto for 150. thanks for looking. |

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
