I've got 289,000 miles and mine runs perfectly. I talked to the officer when I bought it. He said the design specs called for a vehicle which could be jumped from a dead battery, then sit idling all day in the sun on the side of the highway with no loss in AC, no overheating and fully charge the battery at idle. When i hit those hour long backups, i don't have to open a window, just put it idle when not moving. It's a beast.

Most Crown Vics will come to you with the rear doors not opening from the inside, the rear windows not able to roll down from the rear switches, the horn not able to honk, the rear seat completely missing, and various other nuisances depending on how it was maintained before you got it. The fixes for the doors and windows are cheap and easy. The horn is often just a cut wire. Buying a rear seat can cost up to a couple hundred dollars. But even if you spent several thousand dollars on fixes, you would still be way ahead "bang for the buck" than with another vehicle. The car shown in the video, all in, was less than $4,000. Try finding another vehicle for $4,000 or less that offers everything a Crown Vic does.

I drive a 09' retired supervisor border patrol P71 in mint condition, which is rare. Best car I have ever had. For a big car, she handles and drives excellent. Firm, fast and tight. A real sleeper.

I've driven a 97 Crown Vic P71, for a big car thing had some balls. The look people will give you and what they'll do is priceless. Best part is when your in the passing lane on the interstate, people will usually get out of the way. One of my favorite cars I've driven, only downside was gas. I had to fill up about twice a week cause of my commute. Damn near 70 miles round trip. But I still miss driving that car, sadly it was sold a couple years ago.

Handy Dad , i just bought a 2010 cvpi. I am freaking out man ! Thanks to you i can have all that extra knowledge for maintenance and all that ! Keep up the great videos , and thank you on behalf of myself and everybody out there, keep rolling folks ! Woop woop !!

I have a full-sized spare, Power inverter, mini air compressor, small metal toolbox, bin of fluids, torque wrench and breaker bar, small camping stove, first aid kit, and a road hazard kit at all times in my trunk. Then when I go on snowboard trips I can still fit my Electric Cooler, 3 snowboards sideways, laundry bag, trash bag, extra water, and still have some room. and i set the back seat up as a bed. I have a microwave on the front passenger foot area and a food bin on the passenger seat. I keep my gear in the back when im driving and when i go to sleep i throw it all in the front. 2005 Grand Marquis 88k miles

I just bought a 2002 with 225k. Immaculate upstate SC sheriff car, silver. I drove these cars as a cab driver. I've wanted one ever since then, about 15 years back. It needs an alignment, and I jacked it up, checked for play in the wheels. No play. The engine is smooth. Transmission in good shape. I finally got a real car, no rust underneath, etc. It's a silver car, so some of the paint on the hood has flaked, not a hard thing to fix. All in all, I'm glad this car showed up nearby with a for sale sign in it. The guy sold it, because his son kept getting tickets.

Dude this is my favourite car of all time! I live in germany and the crown vic is rare here but i will buy one one day! So happy that i found this video! ;)

The back seat can actually seat 4 people. If they weigh 170 or less. The trunk is a great place for dead bodies as well. The engine compartment if you want something bigger can hold up to a 460 ci motor and the 4.6 L can tow up to 1500 lbs.

These cars just make good sense, I had a Mercury Grand Marquis, (same thing) and I sold it, I sold it because I didn't want to keep making payments. It was a great car, I wish I could have afforded to keep it, but I don't miss the payments at all (:

Great and cool video. I myself love and own an all white with black rims 06 P71. On top of what you had in the video, it also has the aluminum driveshaft that adds to it's performance. I believe the P71 also has more torque than the civilian version. And also the engine and oil system allows it to run at high speeds and rpms for a long time without overheating or causing damage, but you'll burn more oil at high rpm. But the car will be fine like a champ.

I have a CV Sport, and I love it. Basically a P71, but with more luxury items. They are relatively easy to work on, but the repairs can be very expensive. This car has more "modules" on it than you can shake a stick at. Door control module, body control module (?), lighting control module, just to name a few. The lighting control module is a recall item, but they run about $500 new. Door control module: $250. Replacing certain ignition coil pack require removal of a fuel rail. The 4.6 is a remarkable engine, though. Practically bullet proof that can live with all sorts of abuse. They sound really nice at high revs. The body can take a pretty good hit, and survive. Smooth, quiet, roomy, with a cavernous trunk, well laid out ergonomics. High end switch gear, and a great transmission.

No, not basically a "P71" as the P71 does have 250 HP/ 297 ft/lbs tune and better airbox.With your sitting at 239/287. These cars need all the help they can get in the power department, even the marauder is only "so-so" in the speed department as many turbo econobox 4 bangers would give it a run for its money.

I bought a Grand Marquis LS new in '08. Now has just short of 300K miles. Runs like brand new having been meticulously maintained, and kept repaired as needed (nothing major or unexpected). No rust, to date. Interior seems to be the weakest link, showing its wear commensurate with mileage. Performance? Even at high mileage, this buggy performs every bit as strongly as or more so than the 1963½ Galaxie 500 with 390, 4bbl, 4 speed I owned in the late sixties. And it gets mid-twenties gas mileage doing it.

I still have to get one of those consules,,, does Amazon sell them?

Seen a crown Vic with 700k miles a while back here in Louisiana I still wonder if she’s purring

Just good solid cars. The 4.6L 2V motor is bullet proof unless you're a moron. With regular maintenance, the body will go before the drive train will. Most everything is easy to fix, and accessible. In my experience with my 2008 P71, the fuel economy using E85 is actually about 30% less then E10 87 regular gas. I still run E85 exclusively, as it's a cleaner burning fuel and has excellent cleaning properties. Added bonus is it helps American farmers a little bit.

There is an OBD2 Power Tuner Performance Tuning Chip on eBay you can buy for under $30 plugs into the OBD2 port under the steering wheel that can bring your HP up 20 to 30 points more. Then you unplug it for inspections and it goes back to normal

Love the vid. YOU GIVE GREAT JUSTICE TO AMERICAN CARS, NORTH AMERICAN CARS. :)

🤣 this is great I just might buy one today, this dude on his way to the shop

As of today I now own 2010 crown vic police interceptor

Fun fact: when you push the e brake pedal down just before a curve it will do insane fishtails but be careful not to hit anything

I have watched many videos of the Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis of the 1990s and 2000's. A nephew owned a 1994 Crown Vic and used it as a taxi, and loved it. Also, my sister has a 2007 CVPI and loves it. And I was the unofficial chauffeur for my elderly friend, Mae, from 2010 to 2012. For 4000 miles, she let me drive her around in her low mileage 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis "Ultimate Edition". This was one of the most fun cars to drive that ever I drove in my whole life! Conclusion: I hereby nominate the 1992-2011 Ford Crown Victoria's/Mercury Grand Marquis's (especially the CVPI P 71 police interceptor versions, as well the GM "Ultimate Editions") as the next ultimate classic car built since World War II. They will be to the 21st-century, what the tri five Chevy's were to the 20th century. And while we're at it, add the last (1998 and newer) of the big Lincoln Town Cars as well. Perhaps they will serve the role as the 21st Century's equivalent of the 1959 Cadillac's, four-door suicide door Lincoln convertibles of the 1960s, or even of the classic 1930s Packards. Only time will tell. All you collectors out there take note, now is the time to collect multiple CVs/GMs/TCs (especially the CVPI P71 versions and the rare GM "ultimate edition" versions) and store them away in your heated barn! Because in 10, 20, 30 years from now, I predict they're going to be going for well over 50 grand for one in mint condition in today's US dollars! Even a "junker" that is unwrecked, but restorable, will be going for thousands of dollars in the four figures in today's US dollars. And even an unrestorable "junker" will have value as a potential "rat rod", a parts car, or at least as a garden decoration! I say this especially since many CVPI's have been and are even now being scrapped by wasteful government "clunker" programs and being junked, even though they are still in good condition! This is a pathetic shame!

Marshall Curtis seriously though I see one scrapped or junked or crushed and I almost cry because that's some car I could've had and used.

Up here in Canada it's hard to find a middle ground between winter reliability and still having a nice fun ride. Right now my grand prix gt will suffice but the Ford will probably be my next car! Hopefully I don't have to replace wheel bearings every year like I do eith my Pontiac

I remembering had a crown Vic running away from the cops and had a body inside they never knew and I'm still running to this day .not really

Love these vics. Nothing compared to the legendary AMC I6 in the Jeep Xj but still a great vehicle

I got news for you you take a good look at the comp it will say police right on it so yes it is a cop chip

This video is driving traffic to one of my Vic videos.

i have one fukd up my engine love it so much i put a new engine in it i just cant get rid of it

You really should be using the Motorcraft FL820 oil filter. For the extra few pennies, nothing beats the OEM filters

I Have owned a Crown Vic and a Grand Marquis but not a p71 (am looking for one now) and agree with everything in your description. I live in a snowy area and they do excellent well with snow tires and weight in the trunk. Any tips for finding a good P71?

I buy all mine off of renebates dot com

330,000 miles on mine and she runs strong original trans and motor

My 2010 is not a police car and it has the automatic heat air control. Mine is unreliable junky system. I think i will convert to manual system. It's available in the salvage cheap. I like the trunk , out of sight out of mind.

The more complicated something is, the more it's likely to break. Costly to repair.

I can't even remember how many of the CVPI's I bought and flipped. Now I wish I would have hung onto that last 2011 I sold. The only problems I experienced was Alternators and I had three of them that the rear axels had to be replaced. I do think if Ford would have kept making these cars for the next 20 years and the law enforcement agencies would have kept buying them.

There is a company that rebuilds these cars, because they aren't made anymore.

Great video, I just bought an '11 P71. Love it so far!

That was my first patrol car, I'm now in Charger. The Crown Vic was the best police car ever. You cant mess them up, the room, vs a charger I do miss Vicky the Crown.

I liked the Mustang 5.0 the Highway Patrol used in the 90s. It was like the police had a Mustang Cobra, essentially.

@soco13466

That was basically the same as the 4.6, but the 5.0 had dual overhead cams in each head. It breathes better.

Pretty good cars, next to the Caprice 9C1.

I drove both the Ford and Caprice police car, as a cab driver. I had to buy my own gas. The Caprice had more bling, but that car loved lots of gas. The CV is more nimble, and gets better mileage. I prefer the Ford.

100% agree on all

very true.
