Standard equipment in the Crown Victoria for 1999 and 2000 includes the 4.6 liter engine by Ford, weighing in at 8 cylinders and sixteen valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Sedan arena.

The Crown Victoria uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The Crown Victoria is 212.00 inches long, 78.20 inches wide, and 56.80 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 114.70 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Crown Victoria is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $22,195 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $20,673. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2000 Crown Victoria is a SFI system, running on CNG . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 19.00-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.

The 2000 Crown Victoria gets 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 in the city. This is subpar for a sedan car.

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Ford Crown Victoria S sold well in 2000. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Crown Victoria.
