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.

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.

The fellow complaining about his resale value is blaming someone else for his own lack of research. I bought mine to drive until the wheels fall off, so depreciation wasn't an issue. I knew about it going in. The complaint in the Vehicle Overview that the car is large and unwieldy is absurd. Compared to a full-sized SUV this thing is like a Miata to drive and park. The alloy suspension pieces, power rack and pinion steering, and the 17" alloys make it handle like a 5-series BMW. If Ford spent another $100 in materials inside the cabin, dropped the 300HP 3 valve engine in the LX Sport and actually _marketed_ the bloody thing, they could sell a ton of them. Who cares about the 300C?
Superior comfort

This is my 3rd Crown Vic. They have to be one of the greatest values out there. They are dirt cheap to insure (~$700/yr for FULL coverage) and maintain. Fuel economy is not outstanding, but decent (18mpg in typical suburban driving). The ride is supremely comfortable and the car handles respectably for its size. My 2nd CV (a '94) has NEVER had any mechanical trouble or been in for other than routine service. The reliability of these cars is amazing and comfort level is top notch.
I love it!

Having been a GM guy all my life and owning a Chevy and 2 Oldsmobiles, I was a little hesitant to drive a Ford, having known nothing much about them. This car has suprised me. I find myself driving with the radio off just so I can hear the engine! This car has a serious road presence, and with my Michigan Sheriff front license plate, I find myself often stuck behind traffic doing exactly the speed limit! Mine is a loaded up LX, gently used with 19k on it. I picked it up for only $15k. It has a smooth ride, not too floaty, and not too stiff, and good road feel for such an old-fashioned car.
