Delacey Ford in Elma has a shit load of them used, depends on what your budget is
post up your max budget and I can help you out more
around 3500 ish
Its going to be tough to find a real nice one for 3500 bucks.
Look for a 2001 or newer. They have the PI (performance improved) 4.6L. Much better
The 2003+ had some major suspension upgrades. I forget exactly what they did to it, but come crown vic guys that I know told me to get a 2003+
ah wikipedia…
2003–2007
For the 2003 model year, the chassis was again redesigned with hydroformed steel. The front and rear suspension were also completely overhauled. New inverted monotube shocks were now used (replacing the old twin-tube shocks that had been used since the 1960s). In the front, new aluminum control arms, and rack and pinion steering (replacing the recirculating ball units) have been implemented.[9] The rear suspension was redesigned for durability in police-duty applications and the rear shocks were moved outboard of the frame rails for better handling and ease of maintenance. As a result, the road-handling manners of the Panther platform cars had improved significantly. The engine output increased due to the addition of a knock sensor for more aggressive timing.
For 2004, Ford altered the transmission and revised the torque converter for better acceleration, and updated the layout of the optional overhead console.[10] Laminated door glass also became available for security against break-ins and thefts, reduced road and wind noise, improved protection from flying glass in a collision and it filtered out most of the sun’s ultraviolet rays, reducing heat buildup and fading of the interior.[11]
The Crown Victoria retained the same exterior styling, but 2005 models received a rear whip radio antenna rather than an integrated rear defroster antenna. 2005 models also received a new steering wheel, optional power moon roof and 6-CD changer.[12]
The rear whip antenna was removed from the 2006 models in favor of the integrated rear defroster antenna. 2006 models also received a redesigned instrument cluster featuring a 175 mph (280 km/h) speedometer (civilian models) and a tachometer. Other additions included a standard trip computer on the LX and a perimeter alarm as an option.[13]
For the 2007 model year, the LX Sport trim was dropped leaving the Standard and LX. Most of the LX Sport’s components were then made available with the new optional Premium Sport-Handling and Performance Package.[14] Standard AM/FM audio system with CD player and the remote keyless entry system “SmartLock” became available on all models as did daytime running lights.[15] Even with the 2007 Crown Victoria, the overall design remained relatively unchanged from the 1979 design. It still used front independent suspension with a rear live axle on a body on frame design, using a traditional rear-wheel drive drive train.
GL with the search diddy!
PM me when you get the chance…I gotta ask you something holla
Yeah mine is an 03 LX Sport. For as large of a car it is, it handles impressively, while maintaining a nice quiet ride. I do wish I had gotten the 04 model though, for a few tidbit reasons, but oh well.
be awesome and get a 9C
edit:: oh, and PM DannyBoy, he knows tons of people who buy and sell these cars for that price range
I’ll sell ya my phatty '98 P71 for the right price 
I really don’t want to BUT i really have no use for it at this point.It was basicly my summer cruiser.
Ex-NYSP car,117K miles,turn key and go…Not perfect but very nice for the year.
Car runs and drives great,tight and firm suspension,ect…
As you can see from the motor pic it has the ‘updated’ intake manifold.It also had new Bosch platnum spark plugs installed.
Things i have done since i had the car:Seafoamed the motor,New Goodyear Gatorback belt,new idler and tentioner pulleys,replaced 3 tires,rears are Goodyear RSA’s “Police” issue.Replaced both front seats (came out of a 2002 P71) Drivers seat is full power with ‘lumbar support’.Drivers door skin is also out of a 2002 P71.I also replaced the AM/FM stock radio with a CD player.
Has the blue ‘lifetime’ police silicone coolent hoses,working ticket light,working dual spotlights,working rear lolipop brake lights,and working wig wag trunk lights.This car is sooo Cop its not even funny LOL.
I would also add a ‘police’ black grille and correct center caps if you so choose.I think i also have like two extra rims if you wanted.
The ‘only’ things the car would need IMO,‘one tire’,and a new blower motor ‘resister’(blower only works on high) cheap part from autozone.I never worried about it as the car was only driven in the warm months…However it has great heat and working A/C 
A/C blowes ice cold.
thats like jdm as fuck… whatever that is in the police interceptor world lol
