It's your car and your money, do what you want with it..
Think to yourself, which you have more fun with? then decide.

I'd rock a marauder more than a crown vic that's for sure.

it'll have everything..but for only 2 gs! i'll take everything off, paint it black. Throw on some marauder wheels (or some 19x12 maybe 20s? bbs' or work eurolines) marauder leather interior and slam it with retrofitted H.I.Ds

Seeing that you're 19, do it haha. You'll have some fun with it. I don't know how you're going to rationalize gas expenses for that thing tho.

if it's his only car it's not a question of how much fun it is, it's which one is more economical

If I had one of those things, I wouldn't do a damn thing to it. I'd leave it looking as much like a cop car as possible. Instead of having people cut you off or drive up your ass, they'd give you like 4 car lengths front and rear and get out of your way when you come up behind them. Totally worth it.

Pictures of the cop car you're buying so we can make a final decision.

I always wanted a dark grey undercover Crown Vic. those things are bad ass. and you can supercharge them and make them pretty fast if you want.

Forget the Crown Vic. Get a Caprice son. Or one of those old police Foxbody Mustangs.

Just keep in mind that 30,000 on a police interceptor is pretty high considering the beatings those things take. Cops haul ass fucking everywhere and it is a Ford. It's worse than buying a previous rental car...

my friend had an older police interceptor like late 90's, thing was AWESOME! Even had the plexi inbetween the front seats and rear seats, shotgun holder etc. :coolugh:

They take the bar and emergency lights out before selling to civilians.. as well as the CA EXEMPT plates. The only things you're going to be left with are the black and white paint (maybe) a the police interceptor badge on the trunk. POOR gas mileage
All it is is an abused 05 crown vic. I highly suggest you NOT buy it.

The panther platform is a good one to work on. You can do almost anything, cams, engine swaps, blowers, turbos, even swap in a 5 speed.
Take an old police black and white, add a pushbar, supercharge the 4.6 and throw in a 5 speed transmission, and you'll have a car the local hondas will HATE.
oh yeah, and insurance will be cheaper, and its not a cop magnet.

I suggest you replace the suspension, and put in the transmission from a non p71. The beefed up p71 trannys are good, but it was beat on. Get one that hasn't been beat on from a junk yard. Besides that... good luck.

Yes x10.
To those saying "don't get it; they're abused", yes, they are, but they are very well maintained throughout that abuse. lol
