[QUOTE="bmnlsc, post: 5188997, member: 26580"] My agency gives up our vehicles, regardless of mileage after 3 years of service. If anyone is going to purchase a CVPI, I would consider the following: make sure the CVPI came from a federal agency as opposed to State or Local PD. Most of these cruisers are left running while sitting and in between shifts. This equals alot more internal wear and tear. Federal CVPIs are used less frequently, primarily depending on the agency. CVPIs are basically the same as any CV with the following exceptions: dual exhaust, tranny and oil cooler, bucket seats and rubber floors (unless special ordered with the bench seat and carpet - usually associated with Uppermanagement vehicles). The other notable differences will be the Heavy Duty Frame, Stiffer Springs, 200 amp alternator and just to clear the air with most if not all the differences CVPIs come with a 78amp battery, but the odds that the stock battery will still be in the one you buy is 50/50. The motor is the same as any other CV or Grand Marquis. 1999 CVPIs were quicker 0-60 (3.27 gearing). 2000 CVPIs came with the better driveshaft (Metal Matrix) and 3.55 gearing). 2001+ CVPIs came with higher HP ratings due to the PI heads. The heavy duty components for the CVPIs were made to last up to 300,000 miles. I have a 2005 CVPI that I drive while at work and I own a 2000 CVPI, once owned by the EPA. If you need more information on the CVPI, I would recommend visiting Crownvic.net. (Sorry mods if you don't like advertising other websites, but it deals with the topic of the thread). BMN [/QUOTE]
