Bought this car with 103k miles on it. Had it thoroughly serviced and tuned up by my brother a Ford master tech. Plugs, wires a sensor and some vacuum hoses. I also had the transmission fluid flushed to correct a minor shudder in the torque converter. Has been a great car, 20-22 MPG around town, 27-28 on trips. Trunk is huge, will hold more than my minivan on trips. I upgraded the shocks and added a Posi rear-end. The car is a good balance between handling and comfort. I now have 157k miles on the car and plan on keeping it

UPDATE January 2024: This car is STILL running strong and is an EXCELLENT winter car. So far replaced the muffler (it rusted off and was VERY loud), starter, starter solenoid and fuel filter. Also flushed the transmission and replaced the rear-diff gear oil when doing an oil change (I use AMSOIL) with substantial results. Last summer I had enough confidence to drive this almost 2,000 miles to Colorado and back on a 1-week road trip and it did SUPER with no issues and maintaining 75mph and averaging 25mpg’s (through the Black Hills). Only issues currently are sometimes the transmission column doesn’t seat properly so it’ll fail to start (reseat the column in Park and it starts), the rear windows not working and outside drivers door handle being inop. I intend to fix the door over the summer and continue to drive this until passing it on to my daughter as a 1st vehicle. Original Review: Ole "Vickie" has been in our family for nearly 4 years now. Purchased for $1200 and requiring only a tune-up and some key replacement parts to keep her mobile. The 4.6 2v has been ROCK solid. Quietly humming along after a tune-up and giving us 40k miles of trouble free operation, requiring only a belt tensioner and vacuum hose since we purchased. Everything outside cruise control still works on the inside with minimal wear from the 150k miles in 30 years she's got on her. SUPER comfy... like sitting on your grandparents ugly old couch that just sucks you in, there's no good reason to get rid of her as she just keeps putting out quiet, reliable mileage with minimal repairs. Since bought I've replaced the following: Belts, Rotors, Wheel Bearings, Brakes, Tensioner and some bushings. That's it.... I did find a set of 07' Mustang wheels/tires that I put on with some spacers to make the ride a little more firm but that's an optional upgrade along with the LED bulb replacement throughout the vehicle. MPG's are exactly what you'd expect from a car of this caliber. Averaging around 17-19 with highway only going upwards of 25-27mpg's with premium gas (ethanol not recommended for these engines). again this car is QUIET... quieter than nearly everything else I've driven and with everything still being operational this this is amazing with it's maroon velure interior. Kids love going for rides in it and it fits EVERYTHING in the trunk... grocery shopping for a family of 5 is NO problem for the cavernous trunk. Only bad thing I can say... no cupholders... that's it... If you get the chance to buy one in decent shape, please waste no time and you'll never be disappointed in anything outside of gas mileage.

I have 102000 + miles and the maintenance of this vehicle has been minimal. The only problem is with a wire that is attached to the starter that keeps breaking and I end up getting it towed to replace it. Check engine light a few times for pollution sensor that goes out..
If it's good enough for the cops!

My Crown Vic is the best vehicle I have ever owned. My wife has a 2000 Continental, and I prefer driving my Crown rather than her Lincoln. As my father-in-law used to say, "If it's good enough for the cops, then it's good enough for me." My only disappointment is the city mileage is low, but highway mileage is fine.

The best auto I have owned. At 113,000 miles, no breakdowns ever. No wearout or replacement of major parts required ie. water pump, exhaust system, alternator, a/c, fuel pump, shocks, etc. Original tires had 85,000 miles before replacement required. Even then, no uneven wear or cupping. No wheel alignments required. No body rust problems even in Minnesota. Engine burns no oil between recommended oil changes. Smooth, quiet,effortless ride. Excellent highway car.
