Used 2005 Ford Crown Victoria for Sale near Seattle, WA

The Crown Victoria is well known as an old people's car or a cop car. Or, perhaps as a taxi. That's aboout it in a nutshell. But wait, there's that group of people who want a super heavy duty everything car that will hold 5 people, run a long time, has a trunk that can hold a month's groceries, or most of another family, and requires almost no maintenance. Yes, it does look like one or all of the above, but what a car. First off the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, also known as the CVPI is not available to the general public. The closest thing available to regular fleets is the taxi and commercial model, which has most of the same equipment, but only has a single exhaust (239 HP vs 250) and doesn't have the 140 MPH calibrated speedometer. Of course you won't be getting it with the police lights, but that's another story. These vehicles have heavy duty everything. From the wheels, to the heavy duty frame, to steel bumper boxes rather than the crushable aluminum in your everyday driver. Transmission, power steering and engine oil coolers, as well as suspension that takes hits that would destroy normal vehicle parts fast. The CVPI and commercial/taxi vehicles do not differ much from the 2003-2007 model years, other than the wheel sizes (17 inch vs 16's for the earlier models)and some minor horsepower boosting. The closest thing in a civilian model is the LX Sport with the handling package which gives a reasonable ride and better interior and luxury. The CVPI is not a luxuruious car by any means, but it handles and drives great in any weather and will outlast just about any other full size car on the road.

There is absolutely nothing special about this car; which is why I love it. Unlike the STS and the Boxter, there is more than only 2 cars identical to this. I call this a single crystal of brown sugar: one of a million, sweet but not the sweetest. Performance wise, this car is as mediocre as it looks, I'm pretty sure police supercharge theirs if they ever cared to keep up with anything else. But that's the thing, I don't drive this to go fast, I drive it actually to go slow. This was all I had when the Cadillac and the Porsche were both out of order, and I did not dislike it one bit. It's smooth, it's tough (not powerful), it's discretion at its finest, it's cheap to keep on the road (gas back home is cheaper than water, though), and that's what makes it the ultimate car of choice for the week (as long as I keep the other two for the weekends). It's a wife that doesn't mind a mistress.

Its reliable and comfortable. Last of the American RWD V8

It's a retired Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, powerful, but I think has been abused by cops. It says "premium only" on the gas cap door so I comply, I am an engineer myself I don't know why they would label it if not necessary

Its a plain Jane Police package Ford Crown Victoria, Nothing special yet. V-8 engine is powerful but needs a boost. Gasing this car up isn't cheap but it is a great cruising car. Has potential for more power and better looks.
