More Bang for the Buck!

The positive factors including the low insurance costs, the smooth quiet ride, decent performance, and excellent crash ratings, make this AMERICAN car one sweet ride. I drive in excess of 50K per year so I'm always looking for the maximum car for the least amount of money. This ride is the best going is this category. I bought my slightly used 2006 LX with 11,000 miles for under $15,000. I average 25.5 miles per gallon.

I bought my Crown Victoria two years ago and I now have just under 50k on it. I haven't had a single problem with it during its entire lifetime. It hasn't been in the shop except for regular oil changes. I feel extremely safe in this car; it's very solidly built. I bought this particular car over a similar 2002 Sport model because it had a much firmer ride with better road feel. It's very fast with ample power for freeway merging.

Used Crown Vic. Can't go wrong

Got 23.5 mpg driving back from San Diego the day of the purchase. Put duals on it and got 28.9 mpg. Power is more than enough, comes out of passing gear at 90 mph and handles quite well in winding roads, not much leaning and didn't break lose unless put into the curve really hard. I'm 6'3" and find more than enough room for me in the drivers seat or shotgun.. rear seats no. Road noise on concrete Hwy is a bit loud. Going to put some QuietCar in the trunk, which is super big and can handle all.

Great car, if you are not doing uphill starts.

Had it for 2 years, and driven across the whole of the US 3 times in it. Pros: - Reliable. If serviced properly it will run beautifully, even if you don't change oil often. - Cheap! you can buy one for 4,000 USD - Spacious. I am 6'3" and I had enough space in it to sit straight. The boot is spacious enough and if you need more space black seats are there. - People think you are a cop so they let you through. The ride is very smooth and not noisy at all, can fly on an interstate like a monster. - Spare parts. I had several accidents when people crashed into me, the parts were easyish to find, and fixing it was not a problem. - It has clearance enough to go offroading. Try not to go into mud though with your RWD, that was a mistake. But climbing up a mountain dirt road or going to a lake is good enough. Cons: - Uphill starts. Starting up a hill even with overdrive is a challenge. We had a a big hill after a roundabout where I live and going up it was a struggle every time. In fact, it's not the fastest car for a drag race from 0 to 50. - MPG. just poor, driving in a city is even worse, you will be spending more money on gas than any more modern car. - Electrics! If your police department did a good job removing things they didn't want you to have, good for you, if not best of luck. It took us 3 months to fix the horn, had to get LVPD schematics to find out what they did with it. - Spare Parts. Even though they are easy to find in scrapyards, it is not necessarily you will have the same or even have a part there at all. I spent half a year looking for a passenger seat in decent condition.

Driving The Beast!!!!

I purchased my 2006 Crown Vic LX in 2020 with only 46,000 miles on the clock. The color (Tungsten) was only available on this and the Ford GT350. Immaculate with leather interior, and it runs like a dream. I placed two fake magnetic antennas on the roof, and I get friendly waves from on-duty police as if I'm in an unmarked vehicle (In addition to the occasional first responder discount at the Dunkin drive-thru). Now passing 112,000 miles, and I'm going for 300,000.
