Ford: CROWN VICTORIA LX

First off I am relisting this due to non paying buyer from previous listing, Buyer never even bothered to contact me after auction. Due to this, if you have zero feedback please do not bid on this auction. I know people have to start somewhere, but buying cars off of eBay is not the way to do it. I will do all in my power to cancel your bid. It's because of people wasting other's time I am selling this car for my parents. They are an older couple and don't have the time or patience for computers, eBay or selling cars. If you have any questions please ask them BEFORE bidding.What we have here is a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria that's been in our family since new in 1993. My parents drove the car up until this past March when during snow my dad rounded a corner in the snow and hit the front end into another car. They didn't feel comfortable driving it since it was hit and because of this and the age of the vehicle and the way insurance companies do things these days, it most likely would be written off as totaled, so they have replaced the car with another and asked me to get rid of this one for them. They feel the expense of getting a car this old repaired at the rates shops charge these days just isn't worth it. Even though it has been a very good car to them and hate to see it go. And anyone who knows anything about Crown Vics knows they are good cars and ride like sail boats. There's not much like them on the road these days.
The tires are in good shape with a full size spare still in the trunk with plenty of tread left on them all. The engine runs with no leaks and just recently there was a new wiper motor installed within the past 6 months I believe it was. The interior is in good shape with no tears or rips in the seats. The headliner still looks like new. Drivers door is a little dirty along with the carpet, but nothing that can't be easily cleaned. Other than front end damage the rest of the car body is in pretty good shape and after doing a walk around no dents jumped out at me. There may be one or two there I missed, I didn't go over it with a magnifying glass and after all I'm not perfect and it is a 22 year old car. Clear coat is a bit worn in places over the car also. Those spots are noticeable in the photos. I did not see any rust anywhere.
The car does have the V8, A/T, COLD A/C, am-fm cassette, rear defroster, power locks, power windows, and remote (locking) trunk release (in drivers) door.
Things that do not work on the car are the following. The rear drivers side window doesn't work. It sounds as if the window has come of the track, as you can hear the motor whirling, but the window doesn't make an effort to move. It is in the up position, just won't come down. The antenna button has stopped working and has to be manually raised if you want it up. And since the front was hit, the right front headlight and front and rear turn signals don't work. The battery currently in the car will not be going with it. I can give you dead core one to use as a core to buy a new one, but this one stays here. Lastly, the remote mounted on the drivers door that works both mirrors mounted on the doors has stopped working. I have not looked into any of these issues. Fuses, pulled door panels,etc.. to see why they are not working.
Your welcome to come look at the car on appointment. It no longer has plates, tags or insurance though, so no test drives. Your welcome to start it up, check out how the transmission shifts and even move it back and forth in about a 35ft driveway, but I can't risk anyone taking it out on the roads and getting into an accident with it or causing property damage. This is of course a buy as-is sale.
I'll answer all questions as quickly as I can but please understand I don't live on the internet or with my parents, but when listing something on eBay I do try to check email as often as I can. Those I don't know the answer to I will get you the answers as quickly as I can. Please understand we all have different work schedules though and sometimes there may be a delay on getting that answer from my parents.
To clarify. My grandfather bought this car new and originally had it titled. When my parents took ownership of it, they titled it in their names, which is why it is listed as having two owners. But it has been in our family since new.
After starting the car up and letting it run a while it started making a noise like someone's stuffed a rag over a horn and started honking it now and then. It doesn't do this until it has warmed up. That's the best way I can describe it and only started doing this after it's been running a while. I have no idea what it is. I have uploaded a video to Youtube of it though. I will try including a link in this listing if ebay will allow it. If not just search 1993 Crown vic engine running part 1 and 2. Part 1 is from start up, part 2 is of the noise it started making right after I cut the camera off the first time and started filming again to capture it so you would know what it is doing.
I am trying to show you all of the car and not hide anything. I want you to know what you are looking at/bidding on and not trying to deceive anyone.
