    I have a white '95 Crown Vic with 163,xxx on it in southeastern PA. I am the second owner ; the original owner was an older guy from near Levittown. It was never a Police vehicle or a cab, and hasn't been in any accidents.

    I have had the front suspension and brakes professionally done within the past year. It has newer Bridgestone 255-60-R16's - I'll look for the paperwork for the mileage on them, but this car hasn't been driven much since I put them on. The rims are the 16" OEM "Diamond"-pattern alloy rims from a later-year Grand Marquis. Has a Sears "Die-Hard" battery from 2012.

    This car has a recent PA inspection on it, and everything works - good air and heat, etc. Car has been maintained on Pennzoil / Pennzoil 'Hi-Mileage" oil. The alternator is starting to make a little noise on start-up, but other than that she's mechanically good-to-go ; cosmetically, she's fair.

    I was holding onto it for my daughter, but she's been driving my mother's Camry because the Vic is "too big." I'd like to sell it because no one is using it now. PM me, I will give you a good price.
