electric relaxation

Car: Ford Crown Victoria
Price: $6,000

I want to hang out with this guy and buy him a beer. This thing cracks me up every time I read it.


I'm selling my amazing 1999 Crown Victoria Standard sedan. There are many things this car is not:

* a lightweight, fuel-efficient commuter car
* a chick magnet
* a quick-cornering, Alpine Road-racing weekend joyride

However, there are many things this car is:

* tremendously solid, safe and reliable
* possessor of seemingly the world's largest trunk
* despite the Ford insignia, smooth and comfortable
* affordable as all get-out

I am the car's second owner. I purchased it in July 2004 from a senior citizen who moved back East. His loss was my sweet, sweet gain. He'd put a whopping total of 28,000 miles on it in five years of ownership, and had maintained the car like clockwork at the local Ford dealer.

I have continued the car's stellar maintenance record, which has basically been oil and tire changes. No current or previous problems. I've put perhaps 18,000 on the car, almost all highway (driving from LA to Phoenix, LA to SF, numerous times). I average 23-24 mpg on the highway.

NO problems with this car. I bought it mainly because of its incredible price. Check Edmunds.com or any other car site -- the Crown Vic is a constant award-winner for reliability and safety. My previous car was a $34,000 Audi, and, as nice as it was, it wasn't worth five times this car.

I am selling because we're a one-car family, and my 5'0 wife is tired of getting behind the wheel of such a large vehicle. From her perspective, I can't say I blame her.

I will include a magnetic orange police-style dome-light with purchase. The rest of the pimping is up to you, although I certainly have suggestions...
