 This
1997 Crown Victoria was purchased from a small police
department outside of Boston with 110,000 miles on the
odometer. I was assured the car had a "small amount" of rust
and was drivable. When I arrived to pick it up, it was much
rustier than I thought and the prospects of driving this car
1800 miles back to Texas was daunting.
Thankfully, the car ran perfectly and the long trip was
uneventful. When we started our inspection of the car,
it was decided we would concentrate on the mechanical
components of the car and disregard the cosmetic surface
rust. by doing so, we were able to hold the overall
price of the car down to a very low level.
This car was sold to a young family
with a small child and another one on the way. One
week prior, his 1992 Toyota Corolla had a flat and he had
left it on the side of a busy highway because the spare was
also flat. Sometime during the day, a drunk driver
rear ended the Toyota and totaled it. Obviously,
purchase price was a primary concern and we were able to put
him in this car for a very reasonable price. He has
emailed me several times about how pleased him and his wife
are with the car and he refers new customers to me on a
consistent basis. |
This
1996 Crown Victoria was purchased from a small police
department in Oklahoma with 120,000 miles on the odometer.
Cosmetically, this car was beautiful. It was listed as
having transmission problems and low oil pressure. Complete
maintenance records were provided. We barely made the 200
mile ride home. The rear differential was shot. Once
repaired, we noticed a ticking noise coming from the engine
which was subsequently diagnosed as a bad rod and the
engine was replaced.
