The Ford Crown Victoria is the last of the big, simple, rear-drive American sedans: body-on-frame, a 4.6-litre V8, and built to cover enormous distances on Saudi highways. It is the cheapest way into a full-size V8 saloon in the Kingdom, with our listings starting from SAR 13000.
How much does a used Ford Crown Victoria cost in Saudi Arabia?
Very little by the standards of the class. Our Kingdom listings run from SAR 13000 to SAR 55000, and that spread is almost entirely about condition and mileage rather than model year. On this car the registration year tells you less than the service record does.
Which used Ford Crown Victoria year should you buy?
2003 or later if you can find one. Ford substantially reworked the car for the 2003 model year with a new frame, rack-and-pinion steering and revised suspension, and it drives noticeably better than the 1998 to 2002 cars. Production ended in 2011, so the newest Crown Victoria in existence is a 2011 — treat any listing claiming newer as an error.
How long does a Ford Crown Victoria last?
Longer than almost anything else at this price. The Crown Victorias we inspect in Saudi Arabia come in at a median of around 360,000 km and are still changing hands. This was the platform taxi and police fleets chose worldwide precisely because the V8 and transmission tolerate that kind of use, so high mileage here is normal rather than disqualifying. Neglect is what kills these cars, not distance.
What else matters on a used Ford Crown Victoria?
Very little else at this money gives you a V8 and this much space. The Chrysler 300C is the closest in spirit, though our inspections find electrical faults on it well above the rate we would expect for sedans of its age. The Ford Taurus is the modern front-drive alternative at considerably more money. For cheap and dependable rather than big and V8, a Toyota Camry is the sensible answer.
What to inspect on a used Ford Crown Victoria
Condition varies enormously on these cars, which is the whole reason to read the CarSwitch inspection report before you commit — on a Crown Victoria it is what separates a bargain from a project.
