Heard this uncharacteristicly honest comment from a Mercedes dealer
once:
"The best car in the world is the one where you own the pink slip."

The best car is very subjective.

Personally, I would look for a car with a great service record. For
such, my mechanic highly recommends a Lincoln Towncar, Mercury Grand
Marquis or a Ford Crown Victoria. I hope to own one of the above by
the end of 2007.

• Think about this for a minute.....

Your mechanic - who makes his money working on cars, NOT by watching them
drive by his shop - wants you to buy a Ford Crown Vickie, Mercury Grand
Marquis, or Lincoln Town Car.

What a great guy - wanting you to buy a car that runs so well you reduce
your visits to him. Most shops use the business model of INCREASING
business to make more profit.

Care to share the name of this saintly person and his business with the
rest of us?


• Think about this for a minute.....

Bill Ford is meeting with Toyota executives in hopes of pulling Ford's butt
out of the flames and saving the company - which, despite reducing its work
force by 50 percent, STILL has a REAL chance of going under.

If the company goes belly-up, what will happen to the equity you have in
your Ford.


• Think about this for a minute....

Lincolns are notorious for failing air-ride suspensions. You can simply
search this newsgroup to find several threads concerning these cars.....

......yet your "guy" is suggesting you buy one.

Interesting!


• Think about this for a minute.....

How is your mechanic interpreting the phrase "....service record...." in
contrast to how YOU are interpreting it?..........


• Think about this for a minute....

The same technology and expertise that builds the Taurus/Sable and Escort
goes into every Crown Vickie, Grand Marquis and Town Car coming off the
assembly line....

And, you now have only half the people building the same number of cars.
THAT's gotta' be a real plus for quality control.

I suppose if I specialized in working on Ford products, I too would want
ALL my customers driving them.......

No, but the WORST car is the Trabant. It's so bad, it's cool.

Even the Dodge Omni and the Lada put together aren't so bad.

What a dumb argument. No repair person who has any pride in his job is
going to recommend a product that they know is crappy. Why would any
mechanic in their right mind want to work on a crappy car? Crappy designs
greatly increase the risk your going to get comebacks, which are what you
lose money on, really fast.

Since the Vic is the car of choice by most police departments it's easy to
see why that was recommended.

A mechanic can only work so much a week. If he has a small customer base
who all have crappy cars and are in all of the time, he makes no more money
than if he has a larger customer base who comes in a lot less frequently.
If he
recommends crappy cars then he's going to have more of his time taken up
with fixing them, but he's going to end up more dependent on fewer
customers.
Not a very smart business move.

Means nothing. Maybe a lot of those people got replaced by robots? Maybe
a lot of them were ****ing around since there wasn't enough orders for cars
to build.

Being the *only* full-sized, RWD car available with enough back seat room
to be able to stuff perps in without cutting them into smaller pieces has
more to do with selection of the Ford Crown Vickie by police departments
than anything else.

More than a few police departments around the country are giving a serious
look to the new RWD Dodge Charger "Police Package".

Several cops have been killed in exploding gas tank, Crown Vickie cruiser
crashes....so many that Ford has developed a half-assed, "patch" involving
a metal shield.

They are NOT popular among those who MUST drive them.

Some police departments have no problem with cutting them into smaller
pieces first. However, let me say that radio interference with engine control
systems is a BIG issue in police cars, and Ford is one of the few companies
that is willing to do something about it. Toyota basically won't guarantee
anything if you put a 10W or more powerful transmitter in your car, for
instance. The police version of the Crown Vic is pretty well-engineered
to keep RF leakage out of engine sensors and keep the power bus clean, and
Ford will provide support to police departments having RF troubles. Most
car manufacturers will just shrug their shoulders.

Note also the Crown Vic police model is a little bit different than the
standard issue car.

The Mitsubishi engine systems used in some of the Dodges were notorious for
RF issues. I hope they have got that fixed. The Charger isn't a bad feeling
car, though.

>They are NOT popular among those who MUST drive them.

Our local police department has a confiscated BMW M3 outfitted as a police
vehicle. It is very popular among officers. Needless to say it handles a
bit better than the Crown Vic or Charger... well, a whole lot really...

My experience with Fords in the past 15 years tells me they don't need
much service. Ditto for the Chevies I've been connected with. Can't
say the same for Chrysler products. The imports I've had any
connection to have all needed far more work then most of the
domestics. Several fords have gone past 200K on their original
engines and transmissions. And there is a reason Taxi's love Crown
Vics .... and it's not because they have to repair them all the
time....
