Beautiful P71 Under 40,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Rensselaer, New York, United States
This is a very low-mileage, extremely low idle hours, always unmarked, loaded 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with the coveted blacked out stealth look. I purchased it out of service from United States Government, where it appears to have been a dignitary car judging by the reading light installed in the back seat. I transferred out of a unit that provided take home cars in the summer of 2012 and have now returned to another that provides me with a take home vehicle so I don't need this car anymore. I purchased this car with 32,000 miles as a commute vehicle from my home to my office and it has served me very well. This 2008 has 37,936 actual, documented miles and 725 idle hours on it. This is a beautiful example of a very rare, hard to find car in the best color. This unit has never had a spotlight or decals and the antenna is a trunk lip mount so no hole. It has no holes drilled anywhere in the body and has never been in regular police service. This unit includes all of the options you would expect plus factory cruise control, factory auxiliary police dome lamp, factory AM/FM/CD stereo, driver and passenger side airbags, cloth front bucket seating with vinyl rear bench seat, full-factory carpeting w/matching factory carpeted floor mats, rear passenger reading light and an aftermarket center console for convenience. These items, of course, are just the beginning of the list of equipment on this car. It is finished in the factory Formal Black finish with Dark Charcoal interior. This is one of the most beautiful colors available on a Crown Victoria. With under 38,000 actual, original miles on it, the exterior is very nice and the interior shows nearly zero wear. It has been extremely well-maintained and it runs, drives and handles as close to new as you will find. It has never been abused and it looks gorgeous. All of the factory manuals are included with the vehicle, and are in place in the glove box. The trunk compartment is extremely clean, and the original full size spare tire is in place. I had a new high output alternator and battery installed in December 2013. This car has the full police package,
dark tinted windows and rides like a dream. If sold to a member of law enforcement or fire personal the whelen siren unit/control head and front and rear led warning lights will be deactivated and included. If not, they will be totally removed leaving no holes. All Crown Victoria’s produced from 2004-onward utilized the new, improved, 250-horsepower 4.6 liter V8 engine and are the fastest Crown Victoria’s produced due to many changes that were made, mainly in the intake system. Crown Victoria’s like this one are becoming extinct. Especially in this kind of shape, so here's your opportunity if you've been looking for one of the nicest you will find in desirable color combination with ultra-low mileage. This car drives as close to new as you will ever find. It is a very nice driving, tight unit...not a beat-up police car. It has never been used for any type of normal police or patrol work. It does have the usual minor scratches but they are like any used vehicle, not bad from decals or rough duty. It does have a large scratch on the front end that I have added photos of. Either the agency or Dealer I bought it from filled in the scratch and tried to cover it with touch up paint. But other than that this car is beautiful…This 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor will sell to the high bidder at the end of the auction, providing the reserve is met. Please email me with any questions. |

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
