2000 Ford Crown Victoria Lx & Lots Of Extra Parts on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
I purchased this car back in early June, 2013 and had 128,8xx miles on it when bought. Currently it has 133,578 miles on it and I do not drive it anymore. It is started and warmed up every 2-3 days through the winter. The car does have rust but not as much as other same year midwest Crown Vics. Three of the wheel wells have been bondo'd and painted with a similar body color by the previous owner. The two front doors do have some slight rust and paint bubbling on the very bottom edges but the doors do close and seal correctly. The heat and AC work very good.
A couple days after I bought it the transmission died. I had a rebuilt Jasper transmission installed and a brand new transmission cooler installed. I have the paperwork and the transmission will come with the difference of a 3 year/100k mile warranty. I installed a class III/IV Curt tow receiver with a 400lb tongue weight and a 4000lb gross trailer limit. I used it to tow a lightweight trailer with a canoe on it just a couple times. It is wired for trailer lights. If you would like to purchase the trailer feel free to send me a question or message. It's an assembled 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer with a 1200lb capacity. I will include the tow hitch if you do want to purchase the trailer. The spark plugs and wires were replaced the day after I bought the car back in June. The front rotors and tie rod ends were replaced about a month and a half ago and have no more than 20 miles or so on them. The car received a front end alignment today (1/15/14). The front seats do show some wear on them especially the driver's side but the power motors still work like new. The front window motors are a bit worn but do work. The driver's side REAR window does not roll down as I suspect it has come off the runners. The car was previously owned by a smoker but I have cleaned 99% of the smell and tar out. The car has been steamed cleaned inside multiple times and the smoke smell is gone. There are a couple cigarette burn marks on the driver's seat and on the carpet, not many though. I decided not to return all the parts that I bought for the car and will include them with the car. They are as follows including the part numbers. -Moog Front Coil Springs - 80090 -Moog Spring Seats - K160066 -Moog Sway Bar bushings - K8731 -Wagner Rear Brake Pads - SX674 -Bosch Fuel Pump - 69131 -KYB Gas-A-Just Front Shocks - KG5572 -Fel-Pro Fuel Injector O-Ring Set - ES-70599 (not needed to be installed, bought on clearance) -Autobest Gas Strainer - F276S -Ford Sway Bar Bolts/Clips - N806729-S436 -Dorman Oil Drain Plug - 090-115 (was bought for a 2002 Ford Explorer, not sure if fits and is not needed) -Haynes Repair Manual The front suspension pieces and the fuel pump do need to be installed. Today the check engine light came on and I had it scanned at Autozone, code P0301, misfire on cylinder 1. I'm 99% sure it's the fuel pump but I will check the engine during the week for spark plug problems or vacuum leaks and will update the ad if the problem is fixed. The car is drivable, it just idles a little rough. There is a crack on the top of the windshield on the passenger side. It is about 6 inches long and I'm pretty sure it's from the week of bitter cold and snow that Chicago received last week. The passenger side headlight is also cracked and is covered with tape. The light still works though. The fuel tank is 19 gallons but the most I've ever been able to pump into it is about 15 gallons. I'm not sure if it is due to a clogged evap line or canister but the problem never bothered me and I never bothered to look into it.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
