Question on retired LEO Crown Vics

Beat me to it.

I had a '99 CVPI P71, was an ok car, 20 to 22 mpg. I now have a '07 CVPI P71, 22 mpg, I drive it like it is stolen. Bailey to Denver every day. Comfortable, great handling, and speed trap proof. Mine is a retired Nevada State Patrol, dark blue, and still has the push bar and spot lights. Can't beat it for a commuter car, easily a six body trunk. Craigslist should have a few for sale, avoid a police one, hold out for a state patrol one. If the vin doesn't say P71, it isn't an interceptor. Around $5500 for a newer one with around 100k.

Thanks guy's. My budget is in the $3-4k range which will leave me some extra money to spare for tires, full fluid changes and whatnot. The one's I've been looking at have been in the 2003 and up year ranges with anywhere between 58k miles on the low side to 130k miles on the high side. Some are gray, beige, blue and others are white. They're all P71's and I agree I would rather have one that was used by a State Patrol than a city patrol car.

As for center consoles, I can get one off of fleabay for about $130.00. Hyundai's, Civics, and the Escort ZX2 are still not off the list but after making the drive this morning in the Expedition, it's nice to have something I can stretch out in.

Granted I haven't seen it in person, but I like this one except it doesn't have cruise.

Wally world has a cheapo console that fits perfectly. Cup holders, storage compartment and works as an arm-rest too. Think it was $30.

[blackford76]

The main reason I got rid of the '99 was because it didn't have cruise. My '07 was a Sgt's car, it has cruise, and even carpet! Also has the kevlar door panel inserts, and the "anti-stab" plates in the seat backs.

Honda Fit - 2007-2013.

+1 for the Hyundai Sonota. They have surprising pep for a 4 banger and my wife can get about 30mpg out of hers.
