I'm considering a '90 Crown Victoria. 302 motor, Asking price is $895. So any comments, good bad or ugly?

 

How many miles?

 

Go for it, those things held together pretty well as long as the body hasn't rotted away.

 

they run them as cabs here usually good for 300K-400K out of the motor watch the electrical system they develop shorts for some reason but overall good cars

 

Crown Vics are great cars, IMO. I have seen them go forever with abuse.

 

they make good dirt cars ...they will run like a scalded dog ... the 2 doors anyway

 

CV's are cool. I would have bought a second one but my wife nixed that. I even offered to have the Kenny Banks supercharger added to it but she wanted a Jeep.

When I gave my '92 to my sister it had 150K on it and still looked like it was new. You can't go wrong with a Crown Vic.

 

sounds like a decent deal, if its in fair shape i'd say go for it.

 

very comfortable car

no matter what year, how many times do criminals get away from crown vic's? not many.

is it Ltd package?

 

For $895, I'd take it, no question. I wanted a P-71 at one point, still kinda do, but I love my BMW!

 

Thats because there would be several of them positioned all over a city with radio communication.

Its an excellent car but its not really that quick.
