I went from driving 60K+ miles per year to now barely starting up the car every 3 days, and staying within a 5 mile radius. We do weekend trips that are ~300 miles to visit the in-laws, and the occasional trip back to CA. I have been looking for something that can take the beating of our TERRIBLE Houston roads, have great A/C (which will be on all the time), and get over 20mpg on the hwy. We have a little girl, so a big backseat would be great and have room for the dog and enough trunk space to fit a lawnmower or a set of tires . May be required to tow a shifter kart/small utility trailer.
I have always loved the '03+ Crown Vic Police Interceptor Package cars, they look tough and have a lot of upgrades from the standard CV.
They are all over Craigslist for $1500 to $5K tops, and are ex-Police or Government vehicles with "good" service records.
So are these large sedans a good "value" as compared to buying a newer car, considering my lack of miles to drive? I know there are a few CVPI owners here, so now is your time to speak up!
