I still can't believe how nice that thing is for the price you paid.

Shiny is good. Very good indeed. Was this particular example bought from an old person or a cop/taxi thing?

Old person.

It’s now road legal, too. Just waiting on insurance.

I can picture the intro now.

“Hello, and welcome to Motorweek. I’m your host, John Davis. GM has always been a leader in the full-size sedan market. However, with the B-body platform bowing out for the 1997 model year, the heir to the throne of full-size body on frame sedans is now Ford. Let’s take a look inside Ford’s Crown Victoria, and see whether or not it deserves that title.”

Dude. That's amazing. How on earth did you get that car for so cheap?!

Looks so great, I love it!

Honestly? No idea. I knew that Panthers were cheap in my area due to market demand, but I didn’t realize how cheap. Still, I practically stole this one.

Not bad for $550, eh?

Did it need a lot of repairs? Around here, if a car runs and drives, people automatically assume they should ask 3k for it.

I’ve done:

Tune-up

Wiper arm

Serpentine Belt

What needs to be done

E-brake cable

Window regulator (Rear Left)

Window regulator and motor (front right)

Otherwise, it’s perfect. It doesn’t smoke or burn any oil, the interior is clean, it has had all the brakes (save for the e-brake) done in the past year, and it’s never been in an accident.

How many miles?

That is such a good deal, man.

Let’s see. About 260k kms means about 160k miles.

The back seat has probably been sat in only a handful of times.
