1992 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"A very powerful, very quiet and comfortably luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Celluloid went last year, when you turned the key it didn't crank at all - fixed.
Fuel pump was replaced 3 years ago and now it can be very loud (normal on most Crown Victoria's when the fuel pump is replaced)
A/C recharged last year.
At one point in time, the car wouldn't start unless you pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor - fixed.
Blue smoke coming out of the tail-pipe: needed new valve seals.
Electric Driver side door lock does not work at all.
Little light that illuminates behind the radio frequency lights very rarely.
General comments?
This is got to be the best car that Ford has ever built. It is very comfortable and very very quiet for a 1992. It's had just a few major problems and now it runs like brand new. My Crown Vic is also garage kept so it's in a really good condition. One portion of the left tail light just went and I just replaced it, but for those tail lights to last 11 years is really really good. Acceleration is excellent. But you got to check the oil at least once every two weeks because since the car is old it tends to burn oil sometimes.
This car really moves. The fun part about this car is everyone thinks it's a cop car. It is very reliable and I would definitly by another Crown Victoria. But as of now, the 1992 is running great and I'll probably get another 5 years out of it.
