"It is big, safe, reliable, and runs forever!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The water pump has gone out twice. The alternator has been replaced. Other than those and regular maintenance , almost nothing has gone wrong.

General comments?

The car has been surprisingly reliable considering much of the time it has been used for a rural mail route.

It has been a little hard on gas, but I have saved enough on repairs to more than make up for it.

It has a very comfortable interior.

The air conditioning will nearly freeze you to death.

The car feels very stable on curvy roads and at high speed.

I would have to agree.

My crown vic is an 89 model in the near perfect shape.

I feel it does good on gas.

Parts are some what cheap.

The heater is smokin hot and the ac is ice cold

I'm 19 and it is my second car I plan to get a 91 model in the future.

Aye, my Vick is hanging low in the back and I hate that. Do I just need new shocks or what?

The car was under a car cover and I asked the owner, what make it was. He removed the cover and there was a white '89 Crown Victoria. I saw it and bought it - this was in 1998. It has been and still is a great car. A bit heavy on gas when running around in town but I get good miles per litre out of town on longer runs. It is an extremely comfortable highway car. My wife and I have just come back from a vacation where we put on just over trouble free 3000kms. I am very much a senior and until I have to give up driving - which I hope never happens - I will keep this great car.
