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.

6 years on 9-YO Police Interceptor, zero problems

Bought this Crown Victoria Police Interceptor battleship in 2016 at a police auction, for $2500, 93000 miles. It had a rust spot on the hood which told me it had been garaged for a long time. All it needed was a battery and 4 new tires and it was good to go. Since then (6 years, now 125000 miles) it's had one brake job, 1 more battery, 1 transmission flush and oil changes (less than $1000 total in maintenance). It loves to be driven, sometimes I think it wants to come out of retirement and go catch bad guys. A box trailer hitch added weight and traction to the rear end, it goes in snow. It gets less gas mileage than a newer car, but hey, everybody thinks I'm a cop and nobody passes me (but people wait at 4-way stop signs). One time the real cops needed to pass me, to get out of the way I floored it and it took off like an F-16 on afterburners. Reading the owners' manual, the CVPI is made from special high-reliability parts. The doors are said to contain Kevlar bulletproofing The undercarriage is slightly higher than normal for going over curbs. The alternator and oil cooler are extra large.

Reality Check

2006 Ford Crown Victoria LX Sport 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

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?

We have owned one Ford Crown Vic, then a Mercury Marquis and now another Crown Vic. We find them both to be the same and will always prefer them over other cars. We have looked at many and always come back. The ride and reliability is always great. When travelling we have always found great dealerships to help us out if there is a problem.

The Crown Victoria is a great car. This is the third one that I own and it is just as good as the other two that I had. These cars hardly ever brake down and the only maintenance that's required is regular fluid changes. Crown Victoria is also very comfortable to ride in. It drives as smooth as a boat which it kinda is. The handling has been greatly improved since a few years ago and it has plenty of power.
