Up for sale today is one of those cars you may look for years to find. It's a Crown Victoria LX with the Sport package. The Sport package is a rare and desirable option of which only about 2500 were made in '05 so that should tell you how rare they are. It takes all the goodies from the Police Interceptor package and wraps it in a luxury/performance package including power leather bucket seats, floor shifter with console, 17" alloy wheels, and more! It also includes fully automatic climate control...just set the desired temperature and forget about it! Also included are steering wheel controls for the cruise, climate, and AM/FM Stereo CD/Cassette. This particular LX Sport just came out of service with the Mississippi Dept. of Transportation. It was NOT a police car. It was used by one of the bigwigs to cruise around the state. Now, you and I may wonder why someone working for our cash-poor state needed a loaded up LX Sport Crown Vic as his daily driver instead of a Taurus or Contour or something. Some things we'll never know. What we do know is that you can rest assured this car has received meticulous maintenance and servicing courtesy of the State of Mississippi. It's riding on a matched set of Goodyear Eagle tires which should tell you right there how this car has been maintained. UPDATE: We were contacted by the man who drove this car in service and he volunteered the following information: "Q: Yes state employees take very good care of the vehicles. That was the car I drove actually and it has been very very well taken care of. And it was bought on state contract and I had Ford include the Sport option. That's how it was bought. Thank you and have a nice day!" Don't let the 153k miles on the odometer worry you...this car runs PERFECT. The seats have no rips or tears. Even the leather-wrapped steering wheel shows no signs of wear! There are no service or other warning lights lit. The engine doesn't smoke, knock, or make any weird noises. The transmission shifts out perfectly. EVERYTHING on this car WORKS just like it should down to the keyless entry remote and power lumbar supports on both front seats. It even has a full size, like new spare tire! I would not hesitate to get in this car and go ANYWHERE. Best of all, we got a great buy on this car that we're passing along to you in the form of a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Bid to win because the high bidder will own this car even if the final sale price is THOUSANDS below the book value of nearly $10,000!!!

Handling All of the sales literature for the LX Sport indicated that it has the HPP (Handling and Performance Package) suspension. Sway / Stabilizer Bars Front: 28mm (Same as HPP) Rear: 17mm *Base (21mm - HPP) Rear Air Suspension - Spring Rate 89 lbs/inch *Base ( 102 lbs/inch - HPP ) In reality the components are revised for a compromised luxury, performance ride. In 2003 Ford made major changes to the frame, steering, and suspension that dramatically improved the handling and ride quality. New frame with hydroformed and redesigned cross members (#2 is aluminum). Speed-sensitive variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering. Four-channel anti-lock braking system now standard. New independent short/long arm front suspension. Monotube shocks. Front - coil-over shocks | Rear - inverted and outboard of frame rail * Year-to-Year Changes The new stiffer frame was the foundation of the 2003 Ford Crown Victoria's improved ride quality and handling precision. The new design improved the frame's torsional rigidity by 24 percent and its resistance to vertical bending by 20 percent. A frame that resists twisting and bending allows the suspension components to operate more efficiently, and it limits the transmission of noise, vibration and harshness into the body structure. The engineers redesigned the independent short- and long-arm front suspension. Changes included a new, more robust steel upper control arm, a new aluminum lower control arm and steering knuckle, coil-over-shock springs, monotube shock absorbers and revised suspension geometry for improved tracking at highway speeds and more control during cornering and on rough roads. In the rear, inverted, monotube shock absorbers were mounted outboard of the frame rails, which allows them to better manage the unsprung mass of the axle. The previous recirculating-ball steering gear was replaced with a new rack-and-pinion system that is not only far more precise but also 22.5 pounds lighter. In general, rack-and-pinion steering systems tend to offer more precision as they have fewer linkages than recirculating-ball systems. Road feel also is improved because operating friction is substantially reduced. The steering has a variable-ratio gear as well as speed-sensitive power assist. The variable-ratio gear improves both maneuverability and straight-ahead control. The steering gear also incorporates a variable-assist feature. At low speeds, boost is increased to reduce efforts, particularly at parking-lot speeds. As speeds increase, power assist is reduced, which helps impart a feeling of control. Improvements were also made to the four-wheel disc anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distribution is now used to dynamically proportion braking forces front to rear. EBD effectively raises the threshold for ABS engagement by optimizing front-to-rear brake bias. In addition, a new dual-rate brake booster with "emergancy assist" automatically supplies full braking power even if the driver doesn't initially apply enough pedal pressure to engage the standard anti-lock braking system. We inspect and photo what you see and what you can't see. We'll also be glad to email you detailed, closeup pictures of any area you'd like to see more of. People ask us all the time what is the catch to our vehicles. They assume that the prices are low because there is something wrong with them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our secret is simple...LOW OVERHEAD. We are an internet-only dealer. We do not maintain regular office hours or a large sales facility. We simply have a Mississippi bonded dealer's license, a storage lot, and a computer. Since we don't have dozens of mechanics, helpers, salesmen, secretaries, etc. on our payroll; we are able to sell at greatly reduced prices. You will notice that we sometimes go with private auctions. Our reasons are twofold...the latest scam is to send bogus 2nd chance offers to customers from a fake email address in an attempt to scam them out of money. With a private auction the scammers won't know who our bidders are so if you get a 2nd chance offer from us you will know that it is the real deal! In addition, we set our reserves to sell which upsets other sellers! In fact, sometimes we set our reserve $1,000 or more below what our cost is. This leads other sellers to email our customers and knock our product! We will provide the winning bidder, upon request, with a complete bid history including the usernames & bid amounts of all other bidders. All new or low feedback (under 5 positives) bidders must first email us for no other reason than just to make contact. This way we know we have serious bidders! If you don't make contact we will cancel your bid and black you out from future bidding. We do this to avoid the de@dbe@t bidders, so please respect our policy. If you have a rating of 5 or better you don't have to email us. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy our site and add us to your favorites, because you just never know when your dream vehicle will pop up!!! We've put this vehicle through our EXTENSIVE inspection process & can report it has a great ride & drive! We do our best to let you know of any/all issues we can find on these vehicles since you're buying sight-unseen. The only thing we'd nitpick is that there are some light scratches here & there that will probably buff out. As you can see from the pics, they are very hard to notice but if you're nitpicky then we want to let you know up front they're there. WATCH THE VIDEO. If you have any specific questions then don't hesitate to call us email us. Please understand we do our best to describe, in detail, every vehicle we offer to the Ebay public. However, if you have any hesitation during the bidding period, please obtain a Buyer's Inspection PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID to satisfy yourself. After the auction ends, understand you are the legal winning bidder of this auction and agree to all our Terms and Conditions. Feel free to fly-in & drive this one home to momma! It is mechanically sound & ready to make a trip. Be sure and take a look at the book values on this vehicle (or any other we have for sale) before you bid. We stopped offering a built-in BuyIt Now option due to ebay's policy of letting anyone with an email address register a username. We had half a dozen de@dbe@t bidders in a row hit the BIN with no intention of paying. We do have a BuyIt Now price so give us a call if you're interested. Make sure you call us for more information on this vehicle. As always though, our reserve is THOUSANDS less than NADA value so bid early & bid often so you don't miss out! Don't be outbid at the last minute! With the eBay proxy bidding system all you have to do is enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay when you get ready to bid. Ebay will then automatically bid against other people for you up to that amount to help make sure you don't miss out. This saves you from getting sniped in the last few seconds of an auction by someone with a computer program. Don't try and bid in small increments at the last minute...go ahead & bid the full amount you're willing to pay then let eBay do the hard work! This vehicle is for sale locally so we must reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. However, once the reserve is met then we will let the auction run its course & sell to the high bidder. Now for the fine print...
