Default My 2003, 54700 mile, Garage Kept Lincoln Town Car Cartier. Just bought.

Hi Folks! A week ago I spotted this 2003 Town Car Cartier on Facebook. I spoke to the owner, ran a CARFAX, had the PD “Check for stolen” and booked the first flight out of St George Airport ( S. Utah) to SLC UTAH. I checked it out and bought it! It cruised the four hour drive home, just fine. Thanks for viewing.

To the airport, Jeeves! And step on it!

Good looking ride. So much better than paying the ridiculous new car prices.

My DD is a 2003 Marauder. Same platform, but with the 4V engine. I absolutely love the car. If Ford still made something like that I'd buy a new one.

Interesting, I always thought the town car also got the 32v motors. The aviator and mark 8 did. Odd that the town car didn't.

Retired LEO, with more than enough "Projects" to keep me busy! So no Uber. My new/old Town Car is so clean, I don't even want to drive it in the rain, or park it at Walmart! Thank you.

For years, my work car that I took home at night was a Crown Vic. Can't beat that platform for highway cruising.

Over my 20 Year career as a LEO, I put hundreds of thousands of miles on Crown Victoria Police Interceptors. Also some of the older "Square Body" Crown Vics. I totally trusted them, like my Sig Sauer P226.

Not sure what I'm going to get after the Marauder wears out. But it's only got 100k miles now. I've got a ways to go.
