1993 Ford Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V-8

Summary:

The best deal for a daily driver with a lot of options!

Faults:

In the time that I have owned the car the only thing to go bad was the driver's side power window. But, I was able to fix it myself.

General Comments:

Out of all the cars I have had this is the most reliable and the best deal for the money. It has performance and style as well as good construction and mechanics.

Like a Lexus?

This is a ford car with V8 muscle power, it shouldn't feel like a Toyota.

Faults:

At 70,000 Km valve train becomes noisy. Dealer does gunk removal, claims noise is much less but I don't think so. Still makes a lot of noise. I've been told this is a great engine. Is that a fact??

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Yes, it is a fact that it is a great engine. You just ran into a problem as any car owner eventually does. In fact most of the people who buy Crown Victoria's are very happy with them.

I guess a lot of it has to do with how your crown vic was used before you got it, generally the police cruisers run like a dream because they are maintained and babied by the police department. But if yours came from the Taxi's (most likely using propane or natural gas) then yes, as they just run them for as long as they go until they are no longer worth keeping.

I doubt that many police departments baby their Crown Victorias. Police departments used to use the Vic because it was durable. Even with heavy use, it would go 250 to 300 thousand. Wrecked cruisers and old units were used for parts, since many years used the same components, saving on repairs.
