crown victoria for sale

I saw this recently and I was wondering if it is a great find or a total rip-off. If we assume it is as advertised, and there are no major problems upon inspection, would that be a reasonable price? Were mid-80’s Crown Vics well-made, or are there better years for them? Were there any common problems with this model in those years? Finally, how much money would I likely be shoveling into this sucker for maintenance, since it’s 20 years old?

Thanks everyone for you answers!

A: I wouldn’t pay $2500 for it. You need to talk to the actual owner of the car. How can you take the word of her son who drove it only a couple of times. Ask lots of questions. You are going to have to “shovel” out money for maintenace. Any 20 year old car that is just a givin. If you can wait a while I would save up money and buy a relatively newer car. You don’t want to pay $2500 and then have to pay another $2500 in repairs.

Q: What does the gas mileage look like for a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria?
the place im working at this summer currently has a 1993 Crown Victoria for sale for about $1500. i might be able to work it out so i can do a payment plan. its a very nice car and i like it, i think it would make a great first car for me but what does the gas mileage look like with this kind of car?
i mean it is a nice car. it has about 117,000 miles on it which is not bad but my only concern is with gas mileage as everyone is telling me “its going to get crappy gas mileage” however the good thing about me is that i walk when a place isnt so far and i dont go out a lot. but i think it is a great looking car and i like it. the interior is nice and looks almost new and i like it but the gas mileage is the only concern i have

A: 15 city/24 hwy it all depends on where you drive and how you drive. That 5.0 will suck gas if you kick it..

Q: How much would a windshield replacement cost on a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria LTD?
There’s a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria LTD for sale in my town, and the windshield is cracked a tiny bit (maybe 5 inches across) on the passenger side on the top, right under the roof. Can I leave it like that, or do I have to replace it? if I have to replace it, how much would I pay for a replacement? Can someone give me some stats on the car as well, like:
How many MPG’s does it get?
How much gas does it take?
Horsepower?
Handling?
Does it have ABS and TCS?
How many miles can you drive it for (e.g., I heard the old Checker Cabs can get up to over 500,000 miles)?
Is it a good first car?
Are parts hard to find for it?
How many airbags are in it?
How much would I spend to fill up the gas tank?
How big is the gas tank?
Any other information would be helpful, too.

A: Windshield may cost around 150 to 200 installed. If the crack is less than six inches then you can get one of those windshield repair companies to fix it for around 50 bucks.

Crown Vics have been a staple for the law enforcement community since the mid 70’s and have a proven track record of good reliability. If maintained you can get many more miles out of it virtually problem free.

They have 18 gallon tanks and usually get 15-18 M.P.G.. Replacement parts are very easy to locate as this was (and still is) a very popular vehicle. They are comfortable and due to the sheer size of it rather safe to ride in.

If it has an air bag it would be on the steering wheel only and I doubt one that old would be equipped. I think A.B.S was standard and traction control was not an option.

As for a first car, Definately YES.

Q: Any 1955 FORD SUNLINER CROWN VICTORIA SUNLINERS (glass top) out there FOR SALE?
My father is interested in buying one. Anyone one out there have one they are interested in selling? If so, where are you located and what is your asking price? Please send me a message at my Y/A email address. Thank you in advance.

A: Your best bet for these cars is on EBAY.COM they have a large variety of cars for sale. There is no such thing as a Sunliner Crown Victoria. The Sunliner is the 1955 56 soft top convertable, that name plate is used up to 1962. The 1955 56 Crown Victoria is the 2 dr custom roof and some have the optional glass roof.

I did look on ebay and saw a 55 Sunliner convertible for sale. I attached that link also. Good luck on your hunt and check with local car clubs they might have connections near you also.

Q: where can find a 2006 new Ford Crown Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor for sale?
all i can find are used p71 Interceptors

A: You can’t buy a new one unless you are a government agency. Ford has it’s ways of certifying…. Basically the car however is just a stipped CV with added wiring and dual exhaust.

Unless you can find a agency who wouldn’t mind helping you get one, your best bet maybe the taxi version (minus the police wiring)

Q: What are the legalities about a Crown Vic?
I was looking at a black crown victoria police interceptor for sale, it has concealed blue/red flashers and head/tail light strobes, it also has a PA system. I know its illegal to use the reds/blues on public roads but where could you use them and are they legal to even have on the car?
Rhode Island

A: 1. All of that equipment should have already been removed before the sale..

2. If not everything that you have mentioned is completely illegal..

3. Once bought you would need to remove this before driving it…

Q: is the Ford Crown Victorial Police Interceptor for sale brand new to civilians?

A: Check with your local Ford dealer. They can likely order it for you. If they say no, call several other dealers. Someone will order it for you. No one is going to have one on the lot to sell.

Q: How Much is Valve Job For Ford Crown Victoria 96″ ?
Because I am looking to purchase one…and one is on sale for 600$ but the seller says it needs a Valve Job. anyone??

A: It really depends. You can do it yourself pretty cheap. The gaskets and parts will run about 200. If the seats need to be machined, it will run $600 just for the machining. If you have it done somewhere, it will be a couple grand.

Q: Can I relocate my fuel tank to the trunk like a street rod, on my 1992 crown victoria? would it be safer?
I just bought the car for $1000 dollars and then, I hear about all of these safety concerns with the fuel tanks exploding in these cars with hard rear impacts due to the tank being located behind the rear axle. I’m about to put it up for sale due to this fact alone.

A: HI
the only way it would be safer would be if you used a fuel cell that the racers use.
They been putting gas tanks behind the axles for YEARS.
just the unlucky of the draw.
good luck

Q: I need to purchase an “ATC sensor assembly” for a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria.?
Anybody have one for sale? It is for my 85 year old Mom’s car. I live in Rancho Cordova, California near Sacramento.
Thank you for your time!

A: Are you asking about an air charge temperature sensor? Have you checked your local parts stores? I’m not being a smart-alec, here. Your mom’s car is 27+ years old and some parts may no longer be available from parts stores.

You can also check with a junk yard in the area. Most junk yards participate in an on-line database so that they can get you almost any part you need.

You can also check e-bay. You can get, literally, anything on e-bay.

Q: Can somebody help us to find a hit and run that hit my son on Father’s Day 6/15/08?
The accident was in Miami, FL 82 Avenue & Coral Way. The car was a yellow (like a taxi) Ford Crown Victoria with a For Sale sign. 3 person inside the car. Around 8:00 pm

A: Have you contacted the Miami police department? That would be your best bet.

Q: Question about acceleration noise on a 2002 Crown Victoria?
I am wanting to buy a car I see for sale online. Below is exactly how the seller is describing the car. What kind of trouble do you think this car is having? he talks about a clicking noise! ???
2002 Crown Victoria with 150,000 miles. The steering wheel has a vibration and pulls to the right. slightly spongy brake pedal.
***There is a clicking or ticking noise when you accelerate.
THANKS!

The vehicle comes with a good spare tire and jack.

The vehicle also has plugged holes on the roof.

A: vibration= out of balance tire/wheel, tire with bulge in it, tire with broken steel belts, or bad alignment.
spongy brake pedal= water saturated brake fluid, leaking brake booster, or leaking/disconnected brake booster vacuum line.
clicking noise on acceleration/revving in park, neutral= exhaust leak, bad wheel bearing, bad driveshaft universal joint.

plugged holes in roof makes me think it was a cop car, sounds like this one would be a good one to pass over unless youre hurting for a car right now but by the sounds of things it may not live too long. cop cars usually get used harder than rental cars, so keep that in the back of your mind while making a decision.

Q: Does anyone know where to find Crown Victorias in the Metro Detroit area?
Besides M97 auto sales.

I’m looking for 1998 and up crown vics/retired police cars.

Thanks for your help.

A: Craigs list, there you go.

Q: If you could afford it, what would be your dream car?
I would have to win the lotto, but my “dream car” would be a 1-year-old (used) Crown Victoria Police Car. You can see them for sale on the internet under ‘used police cars.’ I would want it in glossy black, with black “stealth” PURSUIT reflective lettering on both sides, big lettering, door to floor size. I want the white strobes, lots of them. Navy blue cloth interior. 8 speakers and gps. 5 point seat belts, red! Dark window tinting. Custom license plate on the back NOTACOP. Oh to dream. I never understand why people always want the most expensive cars. They just say money, if you know what type of cars they are. Most people do not, drive up in a Bentley 4-door sedan and everyone is wondering “what is it?” and have NO clue as to the price. My car would be one-of-a-kind and a blast to drive. Never could afford to buy and custom-build one, family and bills. But it is nice to dream…

What’s your dream car?

A: My dream car? I have no Idea, but if I had a car I liked it’d be a totally pimped Rolls Royce, Hey, even 13 yr olds can dream of some high class cars.
