Here's a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor I purchased in MO a month or so ago. The good: Car runs and drives good. The interior is clean overall considering the car's age. The seats are in good condition. Since the car is from Missouri, overall the body is decent. There are only a couple small bubbles that I saw and no rust holes. The car got new spark plugs and one new coil last week. The brakes are 40% in the front and 60% in the rear remaining. The rear doors have all of the lock and latch mechanisms in them. Most cop cars do not. I have a clean MN title in hand. The plates and tabs were just purchased and are new. No new tabs for a year! Car has no major oil leaks or serious mechanical problems that I could find. The ball joints and other front end parts feel good. These cars were advertised to get 24mpg highway. Not too bad! These cars are built for long term heavy service. That's why taxi companies drive them. It's got cop shocks, cop brakes, etc... The bad: Car has 142K miles on it, so everything is not "brand new" tight. It has some rattles and squeaks. The air conditioning compressor has been removed and replaced with a idler. So, no A/C. The paint is not too good. The black is faded and chalky. It is flaked in multiple spots. It has some scratches and areas that are peeling. The mismatched front paint is from the car being hit in the front. It has no frame damage. The only damage I saw remaining is the core support for the radiator is bent. This does not affect the function of the car. The roof has some small dents and holes in it from equipment. The passenger front window goes up slowly. It works, but needs help sometimes. The tires are 30-40% remaining. One rear inner door handle is broken. Not the mechanism, just the handle. If you are looking for a cheaper but reliable car to drive, this car is for you. Keep in mind that this is a cheaper car that's 13+ years old. So, it's not perfect. I have described this car to the best of my knowledge and tried to point out any flaws that I could find. Please email with questions before bidding. Thanks for checking it out!!
