2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor (CVPI). One owner, clear title, extensive maintenance records, with only 92,888 miles. Includes heavy duty flooring, severe-duty shock absobers, higher-rate coil springs, and rear anti-roll stabilizer bars, heavier suspension, and it is outfitted with all silicone hoses and premium aircraft clamps. These vehicles generally run hundreds of thousands of miles as taxicabs and law enforcement vehicles, and are not sold by Ford to the general public. Includes manual and comprehensive parts and labor service journal detailing parts and labor on 114 pages of work orders totalling $56,645 spent on fleet maintenance over the life of this vehicle so far. Additionally, the hood, roof, and trunk were repainted and the instrument cluster was replaced at Ford's expense in 2011.
The CVPI rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and reinforced frame, body mounts, and body-on-frame construction are useful for law enforcement and taxi use because repairs are easier and less expensive after collisions, the design facilitates aggressive, safer PIT maneuvers and high-speed chase techniques, and the rims, chassis, and suspension are designed to withstand curb impacts of up to 40 mph. CVPIs are in demand by taxi companies because they want a safe car with a heavy-duty rear bench to comfortably seat three adults.
CVPI enthusiasts appreciate the heavy duty transmission, 187 kW (254 PS; 251 hp) 4.6L V8 engine with 9.6:1 compression (higher than stock), 3.27:1 rear axle, high rpm / high load external oil-to-engine oil cooler designed for higher-load, faster driving for extended periods, T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust without resonators, high rate coil springs, a more powerful 78 A h battery, and a larger 200 A alternator. The cluster sports a 140 mph analog speedometer, digital odometer with hour and trip meters, and compatability with other civilian features.
This unit is NOT equipped with Kevlar-lined front doors, so these are not recommended as protective barriers during gunfights. However, the rear doors open normally from the inside, so suspects or your children may be able to escape the back seating area, as in a typical automobile.. Gunplay, citizen arrests, kidnapping, etc. are not advised. Flex-fuel cars like the P71 support American farmers here in the midwest where we grow crops used to produce E-85 and biofuels. Around here, E-85 costs about 80-85 cents per gallon less than regular unleaded. I usually also add a few ounces of generic fuel injector cleaner per tankful to increase mpg and boost performance. Please be advised that the only infallible way to identify a CVPI P71 is to note the inclusion of the code "P71" in the VIN,. When you find one, it's all about functionality, reliability, and industrial strength power. It just works, and it's cheaper and easier to fix than anything else if it stops working. It's a basic, heavy-duty drivetrain, high-performance braking, tight, durable suspension, includes a rugged, kid-proof interior, and is well-documented, in case you want to Google something to fix it yourself. Please feel free to email or call me at 217/390-8500 with any questions or concerns. Test drives and inspections are welcome and encouraged. On Oct-10-13 at 19:57:56 PDT, seller added the following information: There appears to be an error in the AutoCheck report, which reflects an accident reported in Irving, Texas, although I have confirmed that the car has never been driven to Texas or involved in an accident there. Will attempt to contact the reporting authorities to correct this mistake. |

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test. Scroll down for the magazine's video of weighing the Mondeo Estate and the model's test results. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The new Ford Mondeo is dangerously overweight The new Ford Mondeo is a great car, which Teknikens Varld's test shows, but there is one problem – the weight. Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.
Final 2015 Ford Edge performance and fuel economy data released
Fri, Feb 6 2015Ford unveiled the brawny look and heap of new tech of the all-new 2015 Edge last summer, and confirmed some of the pricing in November. However, until now buyers couldn't be entirely sure what they are getting for that money in terms of power and fuel economy, but the Blue Oval is finally spilling all the beans. For customers looking for performance, the Edge Sport is the place to be with its stiffer suspension and plusher interior. The trim level uses a version of the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 found in the latest F-150, but in this case the engine is tuned to 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. That's a 10 percent jump in power and 25 percent improvement in torque compared to the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 in the last-gen model, according to Ford. The mill should be a bit more useable too with peak twist coming on at 2,750 rpm, rather than 4,000 rpm in the previous Edge, and the Active Noise Cancellation system should keep it quiet inside, too. Front-wheel-drive versions of the Sport get EPA-estimated economy of 18 miles per gallon city, 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. Opting for all-wheel drive reduces the figures to 17/24/20, respectively. Of course, not everyone is looking for the power of the Sport trim. In a first for Ford, the standard engine for the Edge is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 245 hp and 275 lb-ft. In front-wheel-drive form, it's rated at 20/30/24 mpg or with all-wheel drive at 20/28/23. For something in the middle the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 brings 280 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque and carries EPA estimates of 18/26/21 with front-wheel drive or 17/25/20 when powering all four wheels. Every powertrain gets a six-speed automatic. Sales for the latest Edge begin this spring starting at $28,100, plus $895 destination on all models. Upgrading to the Sport pushes the price up to $38,100. Performance and Power: 2015 Ford Edge Sport Certified as Highest-Performing Edge Yet • 2015 Ford Edge Sport is the most powerful Edge yet, thanks to a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 making 315 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque • All-new Edge Sport, re-engineered from the ground up, features special sport-tuned suspension, specific Sport styling for exterior and interior, and a long list of available driver-assist technologies • Scheduled to go on sale this spring, pricing for 2015 Ford Edge starts at $28,100; Edge Sport starts at $38,100 – only a $500 increase from 2014 DEARBORN, Mich., Feb.
