2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Manlius, New York, United States
|
Up for you’re consideration is a dark gray 2008 Ford Police Interceptor. This is not your typical high mileage / high idle hour beat up ex-police cruiser so please read the description in its entirety. This vehicle was purchased NEW by me in early 2008 from a Sheriff’s Deputy in MA and is highly optioned. He had ordered the vehicle along with several others for a private security firm that he runs on the side. After purchasing the vehicle, his firm decided to go with SUV’s. Subsequently, this Crown Vic and several others like it were released for sale to the public. That is how I came about purchasing this vehicle which at the time only had 1,100 miles and fewer than 5 idle hours (ONLY HAS 300 idle hours NOW - THREE HUNDRED). I still have the original eBay listing for this vehicle, bill of sale, copy of the MA title, and original window sticker with a breakdown of all the extra options (cruise, carpet, CD player, etc). I also have a list of service records dating back to when the car had its first transmission service done at 20K miles. This vehicle is ALL ORIGINAL. I stacked the mileage on pretty quickly because I commute a long distance to three different jobs utilizing the NYS thruway (40+ miles one way to each job). Most all of the mileage on this car was done on the highway; very little stop and go driving and very little idle time. I have maintained a very strict service schedule with this vehicle since I have owned it using only AMSOIL full synthetic fluids in the engine, transmission, power steering, and rear differential. The engine oil is changed every 5K-10K and the transmission receives a full service every 20K (flush w/ AMSOIL ATF and WIX filter).
Now for the good stuff - Not only is this car in mint condition for a 6 year old vehicle, but it is also moded with the following: Stainless Works long tube headers w/ catted lead pipes hooked up to the factory exhaust system, new OEM ported upper intake plenum, MSD ignition coils, new NKG iridium spark plugs, steeda under drive pulleys, EMP performance water pump, Ford 180* thermostat, B&M deep ATF pan with drain plug (holds 3 extra quarts of ATF) new Goodyear gatorback serpentine belt, and DiabloSport tuner ($2,700 in mods). The tuner is included with the sale along with all of the factory items that were replaced with the above performance items (factory catalytic converters not included, only the factory headers). This car has NEVER been abused or beaten on. I was not planning on selling this car which is why I sank so much money into it. My end goal was to make it similar in performance to a Mercury Marauder. The mods have only been in the car for about a thousand miles and let me tell yah, she hauls arse and gets 20+ MPG doing it! Also included in this sale are 3 additional sets of rims, 1 set are re-conditioned factory LX sport rims with Goodyear Assurance touring tires (60% tread), the other set are the original steel police rims that came with the car (I also have the OEM wheel covers). I replaced the original steel rims with after market steel rims because they got rusty from having the wheel covers on them. I now have the new rims on the car with General Arctic winter tires (60-70% tread). The wheel sensors are attached to the LX sport rims so the tire pressure light is currently on. The brake pads and rotors are NEW. The rotors are from Brake Performance and are slotted (lifetime warranty against warping & defects). The fuel filter is new. I just performed the following maintenance: Fresh Amsoil synthetic fluid in the engine with Amsoil filter, fresh Amsoil ATF fluid, coolant system flush at the Ford dealer, new Odyssey Extreme battery ($300.00 battery). THIS CAR NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The interior is absolutely mint with no stains, odors, tears / rips, or holes from removal of police equipment. The back seats were sat in less than a dozen times. The carpet is like new as are the factory floor mats. The exterior is in immaculate condition and was just recently “touched up” by a professional (Brush guard along bottom of doors and around wheel wells, new front and rear bumper, new front windshield). The undercarriage is very clean with minimal surface rust and no damage of any kind. I always make a point in the winter to have the undercarriage washed at least once a week.
NADA private party retail price for a base model Police Interceptor of exact mileage and model year is $7,100. Being as this is NOT a base model interceptor and comes with 2 sets of tires, 3 sets of rims, and more, I have set the opening bid at 7K. The price is not negotiable! I am selling this vehicle because I have just purchased a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Utility as it better suites my needs. If you want a like new police package Crown Vic that is in mint condition, highly optioned, and never in police service, this may be one of you’re last opportunities as Ford is no longer producing these vehicles. Don’t let the mileage scare you, this vehicle is not even half way through its life span yet. I have seen and driven abused patrol cars and former taxis with over 200K miles on them; original engines and transmissions, with thousands of idle hours that are still going strong. This car is LIKE NEW. Fly in and drive across country.
If you have a question regarding something that has NOT been mentioned above, please don’t hesitate to ask. Buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle if unable to drive home. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction close. If you are fairly close and would like to set up a time to inspect the vehicle or take it for a test drive, let me know and arrangements will be made. Mileage will be slightly higher at time of sale as I drive this car from time to time so it’s not sitting. Vehicle is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. If you have negative feedback or no feedback you must contact me before placing a bid. Remember, you’re bid is a contract and this is a bid-to-own auction. Non-paying bidders will be dealt with accordingly. I have 100% feedback for a reason. This car was described accurately! Bid with confidence! |

Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).
