2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor on 2040-cars

Year:2011 Mileage:89806
Location:

La Grange, Illinois, United States

La Grange, Illinois, United States

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

2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, with a mileage of 89,806 miles.

The 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 existing 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 starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is bottom line what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  If the vehicle does not sell, it will either be relisted or sent to a public auction.

Again, the vehicle has 89,806 miles.  There is no major damage or rust on the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings and dents.  The vehicle has power windows, locks, mirrors, trunk release, driver seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (allows you to push switch, take keys out of ignition, and the car will keep running.  The car cannot be put into drive until the keys are placed back in the ignition to prevent theft).  The vehicle also has rear defrost, dome light, interior lighting, spotlight, power adjustable gas pedal, manual tilt steering wheel, AM/FM stereo, spotlight, air conditioning ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.  The vehicle also has cruise control, however, we do not know if it is working, as we did not use it-it probably works.  The vehicle has driver and passenger-side air bags and ABS braking.  The vehicle's two front seats are cloth and in good shape, but dirty.  The rear vinyl seating is brand new/never used.  When the vehicle was a patrol car, we had a molding plastic seat in the rear, which has since been removed.  The vinyl flooring appears to be in good shape, but dirty.  The tires appear to be in good condition.  There are no illuminated warning signals on in the dash indicating any malfunction with the vehicle.  It appears to be running and driving fine.  All lights, lamps, signals, horn, wipers, etc. are all in good working order.

The vehicle, again, shows normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  There was a dent in the passenger-side rear 1/4, which was "hammered out."  There are scratches on the front bumper-passenger side.  The police decals were professionally removed, however, some of the glue is slightly visible.  A good detailing of the vehicle should eliminate the glue.  The top outside of the roof has two plugged holes, which were originally drilled for police equipment (no leaks-professionally plugged).  The inside roof liner has a couple small holes between the driver and passenger seat, which once housed a police camera system.  There is also a very small hole in back of the dome light from equipment.  The hanger clip is missing from the rear passenger side.  Lastly, the vehicle will need a good detailing.  The following reflects the service record for the vehicle for more major items:

Air Bag Jewels, warning lamp and V Belt replaced 051710, A/C Diode and Relay replaced 062210, Water Pump Assembly and Front Braked replaced  091710, Ignition System, Transmission Flush, Fuel Filter all completed 030912, Front/Rear Lower Ball Joints, Transmission, Cooler/Condenser, Front Brakes/Rotors/Pads all replaced 062512, Rear Axle Bearings/Seals, Front/Rear Braked all replaced 100212, Air Bag Jewels/Warning Lamp replaced 110812, Driver Seat Cushion Rebuilt 120612, Transmission Filter, Alignment completed 121912, Cooling Fan Motor/Fan Assembly Fuel Filter, Drive Belt, Transmission Fluid Flush, Fuel Filter Injector Flush all completed 060413, New Tires, Fuel Filter replaced 062713, Vehicle Involved In a Traffic Crash to the Passenger Side Rear Bumper in the Amount of $865.19-MINOR on 081913, Thermostat and Seal replaced 110413, Water Pump, V Belt, and Front Brake Pads replaced 021814.  All routine maintenance and repairs completed on a regular basis by our certified village mechanic, dealership, or outsourced to a professional auto shop.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.
