What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Ford Crown Victoria
"Its the best sedan weve ever owned"
"We bought this LX in 2004,with 45k miles, and still drive it daily 14 years later, now with 228000K miles. Several years ago we replaced the intake manifold, and have had no other major problems since. The motor is still tight, the transmission is smooth. Outside of normal replacing parts, e.g., serpentine belt, alternator, batteries, AC hose etc., It is all original. Not a tear on the upholstery.We just got back from a 4400 mile trip, ave 24 mpg at 75 mph. The worst we have gotten is 22. It is quick, responsive and quiet. My only problem is, having gotten stiff in neck and back it has become hard to get into, but thats my fault, not the car. Shows what happens when you change the fluids regularly...."
"Best Car for the Money"
"Had the car since new. Completely bullet proof. Decent 4.6 litre V8 makes 210 horsepower and in the high 200's for torque. Easily enough to get the car around quickly, and it makes a great noise while doing it. The only problem is the 2v in the crown vic always cracked the intake. I replaced mine with a aluminum intake. Always loved the car, and always will. Would recommend it to anyone who wanted a decent reliable car."
"Awesome car!!"
"It was my moms ...she wanted a car with get up and go and this car delivered. This is one amazing ride......0 rust.....very clean inside...still smells fresh and so fun to drive!! I really love this car and wouldnt hesitate to buy brand new. Very hardy and never needed any major repairs...and if it does...its worth fixing...great car:)"
