Faults:

I blew out a freeze plug at about 176000 and that was an easy fix.

Just recently put in all new brakes and rotors on all four disc brake wheels.

New platinum plugs and wires.

New Thermometer.

Flushed Antifreeze.

General Comments:

Sure, it had a couple of minor repairs, but it runs unbelievably for the measly $1000 that I paid for it. Rides like a Lincoln and Hauls ass like a Mustang. When I hit the gas it takes off like a rocket or if I feel like a leisurely cruise, she purrs down the road like a kitten. It also turns on a dime. Not to mention the leather seat in back is like a couch, with room in the front as well with all the police gadgets cleared out from the center console. She'll hopefully last me a while with the heavy-duty police package on her.

Faults:

Rusted brake lines (replaced).

Brake rotors and pads (replaced once, last 50.000 km since then).

Rusted support arm of the muffler (discarded the helpless component).

Passenger window lifter (it sounds to be few hundred $ to repair: meanwhile fixed it with a stick).

AC condenser (replaced).

EGR valve (cleaned).

Plastic hook of sun-visor (broken by a previous owner).

Small rust spot in a rear wheel's compartment.

NOTHING ELSE SO FAR!!!

General Comments:

After 11 years the car looks, drives and sounds brand new.

The V8 howls very pleasantly and consumes NO oil.

Until now I am sometimes trying to start the running engine.

"Over-assisted" steering is very pleasant; shortly I've found myself using two fingers to steer.

Huge money/value: the price ranges $3K to $8K CAD in Canada for C.V. 1993 - 1999; mpg is 17/25 (11 on highway to 17-20 liters in a city per 100 km).

Acceleration is very adequate for everyday casual fun driving.

When you don't press on the gas, you will get to some 30 km/hour; that results in some kind of "light driving" feeling.

Braking is smart with a gradual increase of the brake force as you step on the pedal.

The seats are fairly comfortable.

Huge passive safety. In a minor frontal collision, the counterpart Chevy Lumina has ended in $2.5K CAD in repairs, when I've got some small scratch on the clear coat and bent license plate. On another occasion when parking I've hit a post fairly strong: absolutely no damage to the bumper! :)

The car drives smooooth; gently floats over bumps, but does not feel sloppy.

The rear wheel drive makes it very steady on slippery roads (however if you are stuck in snow, you may wish to have the front wheels drivable for a sec.).

The size (including the leg / head room and the trunk) is just right.

Seats 6: once in a while it may be very helpful.

Connecting of a child seat was not easy: no hook is in there and passing the belt to the trunk has been fairly tricky...

Lighting of the door key compartment is cool!

This is one beautiful, smooooth, strong, fast, fun, safe, versatile, very reliable and pocket-money priced piece of machinery!

EVERYBODY SHALL HAVE A CROWN VIC 1995!
