Replaced front sidemarker bulbs, license plate bulb at 120,901.
Replaced rear U-Joint (driveshaft) at 126,600.
Cruise and horn buttons inoperative (Mother spilled ice cream on the steering wheel).
Replaced belt about 500 miles ago.
Seats are torn around seat belt latches from officer's belt.
All of the repairs I mentioned are regular repairs and will be done on all vehicles at some point, regardless of year, make, model, etc.
One of the safest vehicles on the road, Police suspension and tires contribute to this.
Extra Heavy Duty and Severe Duty everything.
I don't intend on buying another vehicle for a good while, because this car is so reliable.
This car is a retired Border Patrol car, and had 120,870 when we first test drove it.
Gets about 15 MPG, but that's pretty good considering that it weighs 2 tons and has so much power.
Being a Police Package, everytime I look, somebody's slowing down for me, giving a turn signal, stopping at a stop sign, and otherwise driving a whole lot more considerately than they would with any other vehicle.
I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a car that's safe, comfortable, large, and powerful.
I don't know where your from, I'm from Arizona and I see those Border Patrol units in for service all the time for suspension related reasons. They really off road these cars. Your right these are very good cars, and its too bad they are almost at the end of the line. Good luck to you with that Ford Crown Vic, bulletproof cars indeed.
