Buy it! Be sure it does run well and doesn't burn oil but it is not for everyone. It is a big car and has lots of room even in the back seat. Some call this a boat, if my boat had the power, space and smooth engine this car has I would take it out everyday. I am not a Ford guy and it has impressed me. Buy it !!!!

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.

CVPI - What a Value!

I've had this 2007 CVPI for about seven months. I wanted one of these because of all the heavy-duty stuff that makes it virtually indestructible. And it is. The ride is stiff (not a problem for me) and the car goes exactly where I tell it to go. It's not a race car, but it is a car that I would trust in situations where a "softer" car would have problems. Seven months, no problems. I happily recommend them to others, and if this one is ever wrecked, I'll look for another one as the replacement.

Took my 07 crown Vic from Pennsylvania to Utah and back agin November- December of 2020 a 2100 mile road trip each way , has 178,000 miles on it . I ran the car 75 mph to 90 mph for 30 hours straight on the way out and on the way back home only stopping long enough to for gas and bathroom , did not have one issue with the car and I got 19-21 MPG , the only things I have fixed on this car since I owned it , is an intake manifold, spark plugs , and took the air springs out and put coil springs in it .
