I sold my 98 Taurus with more miles for $1500, so both of these seem to be decent deals. They ride super nice and have a ton of room, pretty easy to work on too, just keep up on ball joints and end links. I also have done O2 sensors on 3 of them so those seems pretty common, $60 for OEM fit and even the one behind the engine is easy to do, took like 15 minutes without jacking the car up. ---

> [@Justin](#): > > I think that hit all of his points ^ Sounds like a winner. It’s got 135k miles on it. Some quarter rust but solid and not a rot bucket by any means. It was owned by Danny\_Boy then 9c1ny on here whom I bought it from about maybe 6 months ago. Bonus…inspection is good till I think April so you’re golden for the winter. Not that there are any CEL lights/codes or anything.

It now has cop center caps and of course through the years it’s less minty but still solid. 😉 Edit---- My Suby should be back on the road tonight if the water pump replacement goes well. For about a month I’ve DD the Vic with 0 issues. It’s on the road and can be test driven. ---

> [@9c1ny](#): > > the crown vic is a steal, it will easily last several more years and I replaced the gas tank last winter… I’m hesitant on letting it go. 8( But the Suby needed a water pump and it’s my DD. Thanks for the vote on the vic. 🙂 OP…buy and keep it or hell for that matter buy it and sell it for probably break even after the winter is over. Either way it’s a solid car.
