ri702bill 11,149 #2 Posted 19 hours ago When I met my wife in 1975, she was driving a 1973 Dodge Coronet 4 door that was an ex detective's car. My FIL got it at auction; it had 88K one driver miles on it and it had had only 1-1/2 years of service. We kept it until 1985. My kids cried when we sold it to buy the Buick. Oh, but then it was OK because they realized the Buick had AC and a nice velour interior!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML3 2,131 #3 Posted 15 hours ago I had a Crown Vic Police Inerceptor. It was a great vehicle. Got over 300k miles outta it. It got respect on the road while delivering over 20mpg. Tons of power- I towed my boat, snowmobiles, & camper with it. I've owned over 100 vehicles & gotta say it was probably one of my favorites. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had 60k mi when I got it. However, I drove it daily for 7yrs all year round to just over 300k. I wash my vehicles very often. It was also treated with Fluid Film underneath & in doors etc. I did have another set of 4 same wheels with winter tires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
