    Own two Crown Vic's LX 2001 & 2008

    The Crown Victoria is an iconic car. For long road trips and four trips around town this car has no competition. The Crown Victoria handles like a dream, it accelerates quickly into merging traffic on the freeway, it's a joy drive. It was a disappointment to see Ford just continue this car in 2011. I don't think that there will be another vehicle as reliable, as comfortable, or as cheap to operate As a Crown Victoria. There will be many on the road for the years to come because this powertrain has a long life. Parts are easy to obtain and repairs are relatively cheap and straightforward.

    This car has been week maintained with all records available. It has newer tires, new battery, all electrical checked and only 109,000 freeway miles. It rides and drives like a dream and has a huge trunk and plenty of legroom in back. The front seats are lumbar adjustable, making for a comfortable long driving experience.

    My favorite car I've ever owned!

    In May of 2020 I needed to find a new car as my previous 2006 Buick LaCrosse was absolute garbage and was constantly breaking down. I found a dealership a few hours away that were selling ex police cars. I picked up a 2008 Crown Victoria P71 for $3000 with 98k miles on it. Its been really great. I had to replace the starter which only cost me $200 and I fixed the radiator which again was about $400. Besides that its been rock solid. It handles better than I thought. I love hearing the 4.6 V8 sing. It makes great noises. The seats are huge and very comfortable, power adjustments, power pedals are nice. The trunk is huge. The downsides to it is the fuel mileage obviously isn't great. It rides like a Nissan Titan, and the headlights at night are awful. But there's things you can do go fix that. I've wanted one my entire life so im really happy I decided to purchase it. It gets attention too which is OK I guess. Overall I love it. Id recommended buying one. Parts are cheap, the car is reliable and definitely worth it!

    As a veteran law enforcement officer I have driven a lot of police vehicles. The best patrol vehicle is a "Crown Vic" I love it so much I bought my own. This is a safe and reliable vehicle. When you drive it, it is so comfortable that it feels like your in your sofa chair. Why spend thousands more for a foreign vehicle. I trust my Crown Vic on duty and off duty.
