Pros: Smooth ride, excellent brakes, climate control, steering, driver/passenger comfort, trunk space.
Cons: Mediocre(but not awful)mileage, hard to park, some replacement parts needed due to age.
The Bottom Line: Comfortable, reliable, good mileage for size. A safe, spacious, and inexpensive investment.
I purchased the car used in May 2000 with 158K miles. Initially, it had a few problems--the brakes needed replacement, as did the mufflers, belts, front tires (they were the factory originals!)spark plugs, radiator and the transmission bands needed to be...

Pros: Acceleration, power, spacious, cargo capability.
Cons: Lack of instrumentation and crappy radio
The Bottom Line: Buy it, beat it, have fun with it - It won't let you down.
Picked this car up for $150 from a local mechanic. Started right up and drove it away after 6 months of sitting. Had 110k when I bought it, body in good condition with no rust. A tuneup and a brake line replacement had this car up and running ...

Pros: Vast interior and trunk space, quiet as a library, swift V8 power, authoritative road presence.
Cons: Poor fuel economy, roly-poly handling, small gas tank, gauche styling to some.
The Bottom Line: If you can afford the gas and will watch the transmission's health, it makes a GREAT open-road car with lots of room.
I had one of these from '92 to '97. The prior owner was a senior citizen who put only 7,000 or so miles on it, so I had a chance to really put the proper mechanical and cosmetic care into it. The results: outstanding. The fuel-injected 5.0-liter 302 V8 ...

Pros: Doesnt damage easily
Cons: Guzzles gas, build quality
The Bottom Line: If its older than 2000 and it says ford stay away..

During the 8 months i owned it i had to replace the exhaust,...

Pros: Space, Power, Safety, Style- If you like boxy cars as I do.
Cons: Fuel mileage.
The Bottom Line: Bigger, tougher, stronger cars are simply more safe. I have had no problems with this car. Dependability, comfort, safety, its all there in this vehicle, that comes with ample power.
You found it. The 1987 Ford Crown Victoria Ltd. Space galore on the interior, space for most modern cars in the trunk! A powerful, demanding, inspiring 5.0 fuel injected V8 engine. Test drive one today! ..OK enough of my cybermercial.. I just ...

More reliable than the mail, Good car for a big guy

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, Smooth ride, Very spacious, Enormous Trunk, Safe, Lots of power.
Cons: Hard to park, Small gas tank, Has two bolts to drain out oil.
I bought it from my cousin for $200 in 2001. Only thing wrong with it was the distributor needed replacing. It had 60k miles on it then. It's 2006 now with 93k miles and besides normal maintenance, the only thing I had to replace on it was the solenoid. At 6'2 and 350lbs I needed a lot of room, and this car offers it!
With the 5.0 liter 302 V8, it has more than enough power for sticky situations. And it has a trunk that rivals many cars on the road. I haven't been in an accident in it, but I've heard that it's safety is second to none.
Overall it's a good buy if you come across one. Only bad thing I can think of is that it's a pain to park.
