2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale by auction:

2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L with 111,520 miles.

This vehicle is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO warranty, neither express nor implied.  ALL sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the initial starting price has been satisfied-this is the bottom line price what we will accept for the vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  If the vehicle does not sell on eBay, it will either be relisted at a later time or sent to a public auction.

The vehicle, again, has 111,520 miles.  There is no major damage or rust in the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  The vehicle has all the following WORKING options: power windows, locks, mirrors, trunk release, driver's seat lumbar/recline, cut-off switch (allows driver to push cut-off switch and take key out of ignition to keep vehicle running.  The key would need to be inserted into ignition to place vehicle in drive to prevent theft).  The vehicle has manual tilt steering wheel, power adjustable gas pedal, and cruise control (we did not use the cruise control so unknown if working-probably working).  The vehicle has driver-side and passenger-side air bags, rear defrost, dome light, interior lights and spotlight all in working order.  The vehicle has an AM/FM stereo and air conditioning in good working order.  All of the vehicle's exterior lights, lamps, signals are in working order.  The vehicle's tires are in good condition.

Again, the vehicle shows normal signs of wear-n-tear about the body-no major damage or rust.  The exterior top of the roof has three plugged holes, which were used for police equipment/light bars that have since been removed.  The police decals have been professionally removed, however, some glue is slightly visible-a good detailing should eliminate the glue from the vehicle.  There is a very small dent in the passenger-side 1/4.  The front plastic license plate frame is cracked.  There is a crack above the driver-side headlight.  A small plastic cover is missing from the steering column-does not affect the steering wheel or ignition.  There are a couple of holes in the interior roof liner between the driver and passenger seat that once housed a police camera.  There is also one small (barely visible) hole in the interior roof liner behind the dome light.  The check engine light is on-unknown reason.  There is a small tear in the driver-side door armrest.  The front cloth seats are in fair to good condition, but will need to be cleaned.  The rear seats are brand new-when the vehicle was a police unit, we had plastic seats in the rear and stored the original seats.  The original seating has been placed back in the car.  There is a small tear in the vinyl flooring on the driver-side, however, the rest of the flooring appears to be in good condition.  The following reflects the service record on the vehicle for major maintenance:

ADDITIONAL:  It sounds like the vehicle's brakes/pads/drums are rubbing.  Potential bidder should have brakes checked, however, the vehicle stops fine; the brakes don't appear to be pulsating or grinding.
