1990 Ford Crown Victoria LTD review from North America
"It has some quirks, but it's a decent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator shorted out at around 152,000 miles.
The power steering system leaks.
I had to replace the smog pump (that's what the parts place called it) at 160,000 miles.
The driver's side window doesn't work.
The windshield washer only works when the high beam lights are on.
It stalls when first started each day.
The seats are worn.
General comments?
This car was in a minor accident just before I purchased it. I only paid $400. I've put about $500 into it. It's running rough and stalling infrequently. I'm not sure if I'm going to repair it or sell it. Overall I've more than gotten my money out of it.
It's quite comfortable. There is plenty of room. It's nice for hauling around my children and groceries.
It is long and difficult to park. The blind spots seem larger than with other vehicles.
