The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale/auction: 2009 Black Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L This vehicle is surplus property of the Village of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: It MUST be sold in an auction-style format such as eBay. There is no Buy-It-Now option. We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied. All sales are FINAL and NO returns will be accepted. The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied. There is NO reserve on this vehicle. The vehicle has a mileage of 111,334 miles. The vehicle has no notable body damage or rust, just normal wear-n-tear and minor scratches. The vehicle has working turn signals, hazards, internal dome light, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, power pedal adjustment, power trunk release, power driver's seat and lumbar. The horn works, the A/C, heat, and fan blower all work. The rear defrost and wipers work. The vehicle is equipped with cruise controls on the steering wheel (unknown if working-we did not use them). The vehicle is equipped with a working spotlight on the driver's side. The vehicle's tires appear to be in decent shape. The back seat of the vehicle is new (never used). Notable damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/things that don't work or things that need to be replaced/repaired: This vehicle was used as part of a fleet of police vehicles. We had the police decals removed, however, the vehicle will need to be "buffed" where the decals used to be (see photos). There were three small holes cut into the outside roof of the vehicle for police equipment. Two of the holes have been "capped," however, the third hole will need a cap. There is a small hole cut into the roof (inside headliner) that was also used for police equipment (see photos). The vehicle will need a new battery; it needs to be jumped to start. When the vehicle was used as a police vehicle, a cutoff switch was installed that allowed the vehicle to remain on with the keys out of the ignition. The switch was taken out, however, the wiring is still in back of the dash. The headlights do not go on as well as the AM/FM stereo. It is unknown if it is just a fuse or if it has something to do with the cutoff switch. Lastly, and most importantly, the vehicle was driven until late 2013, when we received a diagnosis that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle runs and moves, however, it will need a new engine! The winning bidder should have the vehicle towed from our lot. Over the years, the following damage/major repairs have been made to this vehicle (maintenance record): 1. 01/16/10 vehicle involved in passenger side (front door/front tire) crash.
