Are these good reasons to want this car? - 1
I'm an 18 year old male and I currently have an old sedan. I like my car but, it has issues and doesn't have the best reliability records. I found an old police car at a used dealer. I know most people my age would want this car to look like a cop or have a somewhat fast car. I don't really care about that or care about looking cool. The car is a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. It's just a plain white sedan. Here are some reasons I like it.
-Roomy interior
-Vinyl flooring and rear seat (easy clean interior)
-Large trunk
-Extremely safe
-Extremely reliable
-Heavy duty engine components, transmission, brakes, and suspension
-Good quality
-Body on frame design
-Doesn't have a lot of features I don't really need (less distractions)
-Solid body
-"Old" service vehicles can be purchased for pretty cheap (especially police cars)
-Has an old school look and feel with modern safety
-Decent MPG (not the best but, not bad)
-Comfortable
-Easy and affordable to maintain and repair
I know police drove it hard. It was designed to take that kind of driving. Are these good reasons to want a car like this?
Added (1). I do NOT have any intention of impersonating law enforcement.
Added (2). There's also a lot of places this car can go on and off road. It can handle almost anything that gets thrown its way.
Added (3). I've always really liked the Crown Victoria. I feel like a 5 year old car would last me longer than a 20 year old car.
I have nothing against a Crown Vic. For a large sedanit. One of the best. But all of the Police equipment has been removed (they can't sell it if it isn't) so at this point it's nothing more than a stripped down Crown Vic.
You can probably find a real Crown Vic that hasn't been trashed and has more luxury (you say you don't need but they are very nice to have) features.
They are well maintained and below market value. Have it inspected by a pro.
- What are the MAIN REASONS that people are so interested in the Ford vs Kavannaugh testimony? I don't get it. People are just crazy about this story, I could not care less. I don't see what the big deal is. Is I the sex allure of the story? (but even then this happened back during the early 80s when they were like teeny boppers? Who cares?) he could even come up with a ruling to kick all these illegals out of the country? Do you think he would?
- What are reasons for a blow head gasket? I'm thinking of buying a 2001 Ford Taurus with 89K on it. The craigslist ad says it needs a head gasket
- I have a 1985 Nissan standard cab and I want to get a hard tonneau cover. Anybody know who made these? Anybody know what manufacturers originally made tonneaus to fit this year/model truck and if there are any truck boxes that might be similar size and fit? Maybe a new Frontier or Ford Ranger?
- Want new headlights for my car, don't want the blue tint to the lights? I have a 2006 Ford Fusion I want to get new headlights I don't really know the difference between halos HIDs or LEDs or if there even is a difference. I'm looking at replacing the whole headlights not just the bulbs but I notice some newer headlights have the blue tint to them I want to stay away from that.
