You are bidding on a 1999 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. This happens to be the Street Appearance package, so it has the silver grille, body-colored mirror inserts, silver trim around the trunk lid and bumper covers, and full velour seating with center armrests. Everything in this car works. AC blows cold, defrost, lights, mirrors, trunk release, steering, windows, and locks. Even the secondary dome light is still operational! This is a former fire chief's car, so it avoided a lot of the street wear and tear associated with a patrol or pursuit vehicle. The paint and interior still present well. The minor chips and scratches do not detract from what is still a very presentable car. The only issue is A.), the CEL is on due to an oxygen sensor, and B.), the heat is not working well due to shoddy mechanics working on my car. The heater core was replaced new, but the vacuum hoses were not re-installed properly and the mechanic refuses to accept responsibility. As a result, halfway decent heat is only achieved in the city. Highway driving overwhelms the system as it is now so no heat. There is still a LOT of life left in this car despite the mileage. New brakes front and rear, new rear rotors, rebuilt rear axle, new radiator, new spark plugs, new fuel pump, new air filter and fuel filter, new shift cable, good rubber all around, good full size spare in the trunk. This is a very good city vehicle, or a pretty reliable road car in the spring/summer. It still rides smoothly (the rear axle is from a 2001 Town Car, so some acceleration is lost), and tracks well down the highway for it's size and age. No noticeable shimmying or pulling when the brakes are applied. In all, this was my wife's work vehicle - she drives 1000 miles a week - and except for driving over a tire in the middle of the road, we've never been stranded due to mechanical failure. Bid now and either fix it up without being too deep in the hole, or drive it as is with normal maintenance. Either way is fine!!Local pick-up only - you pay and arrange for any shipping yourself. $500 non-refundable deposit due on winning bid, and all remaining monies due will be paid in cash before vehicle is released. Title must be transferred upon pick-up of the vehicle, we can make arrangements due to respective work schedules and DMV operating hours. Winning bidder has 72 hours after payment to arrange pickup or money will be returned - less deposit - and car will be relisted. No warranties are expressed or implied - car is AS IS WHERE IS. I know this is a good car, but I can't predict how someone else will drive and damage the vehicle upon pickup and usage. Registration and insurance is the buyer's responsibility. The car is offered for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction early unless otherwise noted. HAPPY BIDDING!!
