1986 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"Great ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced water pump. Had car repainted, new top installed. Looks new. Replaced shocks and springs at 120,000 miles Changed oil every 2,000 miles. Transmission serviced twice, replaced all transmission fluid, 12 quarts. Replaced ignition module at 100,000 miles.
General comments?
I bought this car in 1994 for $4000. It's been very reliable, with minimal repairs. The biggest expense was the paint and top, about $1,200 total. I think I have the only Crown Vic in town with fresh paint. I like the ride, no complaints.
