2004 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Howard Lake, Minnesota, United States
|
Here's a 2004 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor I purchased in MO a month or so ago.
The good: I have not test driven this car much because it doesn't have plates. I have taken it down the road locally a few times and it seems to drive well. The interior is clean overall. The seats are in good condition. Since the car is from Missouri, overall the body is very good with no visible rust. The car got new spark plugs last week. The brakes are 50% 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 MO title in hand. Car has no major oil leaks or serious mechanical problems that I could find. 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 124K miles on it, so everything is not "brand new" tight. It has some rattles and squeaks. 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. Cup holder cover is broken off. See pic. The roof has some small dents and holes in it from equipment. The rear door on the driver's side has a dent. See pic. The corner of the trunk lid his a ding and some small dents. 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 10+ 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!! |

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
