"A high performance sports luxury family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car needs to warm up a little while on cold days.
General comments?
This car is the only car I ever want to own. This is my second 1991 Crown Victoria. The first one I bought for $500 and loved it. I only had it for four months when it was hit buy a school bus that ran a stop sign on my way home from work. The entire passengers side was damaged from head light to tail light. The front and back door were pushed in about 12 inches and the bus pushed my car like a bulldozer. The only damage to the bus was a scratched bumper. I was emotionally crushed to lose that car. I searched everywhere for another one, even crossing state lines. I looked in The Want Ads, Auto Trader, Auto Hunter, On-line.People tried to talk me into getting something else, something small, cheap, good on gas. But I wanted another Vic. The old ones are harder to come by, but I pressed on. Two years went by and I saw a small add with no picture of what I was looking for and it was a few towns away. As soon as I saw it, I new it was coming home with me. After looking it over and taking it for a drive, I bought it. It had evreything I wanted and more. I paid $2,800,A little more than my first Vic, but it was worth every cent. As with my first Vic, both (Police Interceptors) it was so fast, so strong I just couldn't believe it. The comfort was beyond words, the trunk was huge, the styling was nice, not too boxy, just right. The performance and speed of this car is great. It feels like the fastest car on the road. Handling like a cloud, and gliding across the pavement. It had a few odds and ends to take care of, but nothing major. Anything this car needs, I will do it. It is a very safe car as I come to find out from before, walking away from the accident with the first Vic and not a scratch on me. In the future if I can afford it, Crown Victoria's are the only car I will buy. I would not trade my Vic for any car in the world past, present, or future.
