Hey folks, just signed up tonight. The Father in Law just moved in (yeah...I know) he gave us some cash to buy a car so my wife can driver him around. In the past we have owned a P71 that my wife loved. So we searched high and low but could not find anything in the budget but we found a 1999 Grand Marquis LS. I warned my wife that this will be NOTHING like the P71 but she wanted to check it out. We took it to a mechanic, got the lowdown on the condition of the car then bought it. So far, so good. It's a great car.

 

sorry gotta ask whats a P71?

 

A P71 is a Crown Victoria Police cruiser. If you ever get a chance to get one... jump on it.

 

Oh gotcha never new that was the designation for those.
so I always wondered whats the story on those how many miles do they drive those until they auction those off?

 

by the way we just bought the same car! what color is yours?

 

Spruce Green with a light gray/blue clothe interior. It has the teardrop wheels. I don't know how long the run the Crown Vic's before they sell them but I know a guy at work that has a P71 with over 300,000 miles on it.
