1988 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"You'll get made fun of, but who cares!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gasket
Hoses and Belts
Brakes
Window motor
Door lock - electric
seat mount broke.
General comments?
Who cares about minor things? Car costs me under $2000, next to nothing for insurance on it, and it runs like a million.
I love the car, and will buy another Crown Victoria when this one finally dies. I intend on keeping it until no longer practical to repair it.
The things I mentioned breaking are normal wear items. Not many 14 year old cars left that run this well.
