Such a shame not many 93 to 94 CVPIs still wonder the streets. Oh well wonder if Hollywood will switch to the new Police Interceptor to keep up with the times? |

I would love to see the new Ford Police Interceptor (no Crown Vic) being destroyed  it is just a bad-looking replacement for the CV in my opinion. However, I like seeing the Charger and the Impala on the streets, and see Chevrolet revives the Caprice, knowing how good a car with this name once served the police well.But in fact, most of even the oldest Crown Vics still work (if they haven't been destroyed through a crash, which is quite the only way to get these cars off the streets). Same is for the Lincoln Town Car, I've recently seen one in Germany from 1993 with about 500.000 miles on it, and it still worked perfectly (only had some scratches and other minor flaws you would expect at that age). These were just built to last. I highly doubt the Police Interceptor will ever be as popular as its predecessor. It is much more likely that Ford will anyway be outrun by Chevrolet with the Caprice. -- Last edit: 2011-10-04 23:29:14 |

Just about any car can still run well past what is typically considered its prime with good maintenance and a caring owner. Again, your love for the Panther cars is well-noted so you don't have to post the same type of comments over and over again about "poor Crown Vic" or "Why did the have to destroy a Crown Vic?" Given the nature of their background they will continue to be destroyed in movies and TV shows and that's that. Although I agree with you that they are definitely sturdy cars in comparison to many other modern vehicles, I can apply your Town Car story to many other non-Panther (or non-American for that matter) vehicles that I've come across. And similarly, I've come across many POS Crown Victorias (and I'm talking about in-service vehicles) that should definitely be off the streets because of issues such as brakes beyond repair or a suspension that was simply too worn out. Many of these vehicles are used and abused and by the time their service is done, some are no better or stronger than a Ford Pinto. |

Excuse me, what means POS? And I point that out because I have heard from a friend in America that only 'older' cars can really take a lot of mileage, and newer tend to break down after at least 250.000 miles (if at all) because their electric components cause trouble. I'm sure not EVERY car can run a long time, it also depends on the build and the quality. Like my parents cared well for their Renault and its engine was broken when it had not even gone past or even close 100.000 miles. |

POS means Piece of Shit, it is popular in American vernacular. As for high mileage vehicles, like ford_guy said most of the time it depends on the owner and maintenance of the vehicle. I have had some pretty high-mileage cars myself. My first car was a 1987 Honda Civic CRX HF and it had over 500,000 miles on it when I sold it, I sold my 1994 Isuzu Rodeo S (bought brand new by my family) last year with 480,000 miles on it (everything original) and I still see it driving around town. I had a 1996 Chevrolet S-10 (again bought brand new by my dad)(with the pos 2.2 litre Cavalier motor in it) that went until 220,000 miles before it broke the timing chain, I installed a new timing chain and drove it for another 100,000 miles and then sold it. I had an Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais that had the QUAD4 engine (which is known to be an unreliable engine) and I still got 300,000 miles out of it before it was totaled by a drunk driver. My 1996 Ford Mustang GT had 280,000 hard miles put on it before I sold it. Currently my dad has a 2001 Toyota Sequoia with 480,000 miles on it (he just bought a new RAV4 to replace it but still drives the Sequoia most of the time) That truck never had anything done to it other than fluid/filter changes and tire/brakes until it hit 250,000 miles then we replaced the timing belt (which should have been done at 90k oops) and replaced the fuel injectors, other than that (and a new timing belt every 90k nothing has ever been done to it. Even the guys at Toyota were amazed by this truck. I have many other stories but these will show a variety of makes and models that just I have owned that have stood up to the test of time (or miles as it is) -- Last edit: 2011-10-05 20:12:38 |

Oh, man you got more mileage than my Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais  Mine QUAD4 HO quit about 126,000 miles when the gasket on the engine block has blown out.  It was already a rust bucket by the time it died. -- Last edit: 2011-10-05 19:32:15 |

^ yeah I loved that car, I only put the last 50 or so thousand miles on it (but i knew the previous 2 owners who took immaculate care of it) It was a comfortable car (International Series) It looked just like this one: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" |

^ Yours is a newer model. I had the older model. See my profile .gif ";)") |

@tonkatracker Your experiences with your cars sound great .gif ":)") However I do think that 'newer' cars (meaning not older than about 5 years from now) which are mostly stuffed with (sensitive) electronic options or 'helpers' average drivers don't need won't go that far. Because nowadays car makers build cars to last only for a certain time so that you just have to replace your car after a couple of years.-- Last edit: 2011-10-05 22:39:17 |

Well in the US all cars built after 1996 are OBDII which means lots of electronic parts and sensors as well as a Computer for everything (ECM, BCM, TCM Etc.) and while they are getting more and more complicated they have been around for a while, Currently I drive a 2003 Jeep Liberty (Cherokee to you) with 140,000 miles on it, my wife drives a 2004 Jeep Liberty with 105,000 miles on it and our third or spare car is a 2002 Liberty with 180,000 miles on it and none of them have given me any issues even with all of their electronic parts (the computers in these Libertys controls everything right down to the interior dome lamp) and I have no doubt that they will last for another 100,00 miles at least. My company car is a 2009 Toyota Corolla (built in the US and purchased by my father's company in May of 2008) has close to 250,000 miles on it now and aside from some warranty issues when we first got it (radio and aircon) it has had no problems either. |

The movie's from 2009-2010, did Boston P.D. still use the old 1992-1997 CVPIs then? |

No, but it may have been a Boston PD car at some point. |
