Item Description
The Good:
This vehicle was originally used as the Police Chief's vehicle before being passed down to the Detective Division. This is the "Admistrave Intercepter" model. Vehicle has driver side electric seat controls, a CD player and was seldom used for patrol. The vehicle also has a remote start with key fob, but the key fob needs fresh batteries. This is the last V8 rear wheel drive in our police fleet and it is already missed. This was the best preforming Crown Vic we've had and thus why we've kept it for so long. This vehice has good tires, a good body, a strong motor and has PA inspection until April of 2022.
The Bad:
Up until Mid September 2021 this car was still in the fleet and used occasionally to attend trainings and other administrative tasks. It had a bad tire rod which made the streering feel lumpy and it was slated to be repaired. However... The transmission has since failed. Currently the vehicle will only go into "Reverse Gear" We obtained estimates from the "Trans Shop" in Doylestown PA and were quoted $2,800 for them to rebuild the current transmission and $3,500 for a replacement transmission.
We estimated it would cost $4,000.00 to repair this vehicle to keep it in our fleet. (We really loved this car) Unfortunately, we do not have a $4,000 in our budget to repair a 13-year-old vehicle.

Q: |
"Good evening, I'm honestly sorry for your loss of a great vehicle.. sad to read, I was wondering if the winning bidder could have the vehicles title put under a dealership ? Thank you. " - Asked by #26100857 10/11/2021 07:58 PM |
A: |
Thank you, our Chief just got a brand new Ford Explorer Administrative model and it’s very nice.. (Only a V6 though..) So that is helping us to cope with the retirement of our last “real” police car. As for the title.... I don’t see why it could not be.. So long as you have some kind of credentials associating you with the dealership’s company. Maybe provide us with the EIN number or something so we can keep an accurate record of the sale. There are some laws about having a “open title” but as long as we are selling it to someone who can sign the title I don’t believe there will be any issues..

Q: |
"Flex fuel?" - Asked by #16579984 10/12/2021 03:45 PM |
A: |
I don’t recall seeing any “Flex Fuel” verbiage on it in all the years we’ve had it. We’ve only used regular gas in it from our Municipal pumps.

Q: |
"I just checked your vin# the eighth digits has to be a V for flex fuel and a W for just regular gas as you can see yours is a V for flex fuel i will be watching this thank you‼️" - Asked by #16579984 10/13/2021 10:39 PM |
A: |
I went down this morning to verify the VIN. I took and uploaded images of both the dash VIN plate and the door sticker. The 8th digit is a “V” so if that indicates it being a flex fuel, then that is what it is. I will say in all the years we’ve had it we’ve only used regular gas. Hope this helps.

Item location This location is a general area based on the sellers zip code. It is not the specific address where the item is located.
Our Buyers Fees
With Municibid, pricing is clear, up-front and transparent. A buyer's fee (% of the winning bid amount) will be charged directly to the winning bidder upon the close of each auction via the credit card you entered prior to placing the bid. You pay the selling agency directly for the full cost of the item. (unless otherwise noted)
All Buyers fee's are aggregate unless otherwise noted. This means after you cross certain price thresholds you will pay a different buyers fee for the remaining amount. See below for an example.
Example:
If buyers fee is 8% for bids up to $99,999.99, 5% for bids $100,000 - $499,999.99, and 4% for bids over $500,000.
- Winning bid: $50,000: = Buyers fee: $4,000 (8% of $50,000).
- Winning bid: $150,000: = Buyers fee: $10,500 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + (5% of $50,000 = $2,500).
- Winning bid: $550,000: = Buyers fee: $30,000 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + 5% of $400,000 = $20,000) + (4% of $50,000 = $2,000).
Where can I see what the buyers fee is?
The current buyers fee will always be shown on the page of the listing under the current price in both the bid area and auction details area. You will also see the buyers fee amount you will pay for your entered bid on the page where you confirm your bid.
What if the selling agency rejects my bid?
If the government agency rejects your bid (they reserve the right to do so) your buyer's fee will be returned, in full, to you within 5 days of notification to Municibid of the rejected bid by the governing body.
