Crown Victoria LX LTD 5.0L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 263,835 miles

At about 234,000 miles, I had to have the transmission rebuilt because it was slipping. The cost was about $1,450 after tax and labor. Then at about 259,000 miles I had to replace the number one fuel injector (which I replaced myself). It was only about a 30 minute job since it was easy access. At around 261-262,000 miles, I had to replace the radiator I did that myself at a cost of 118.00. It was a very easy fix. Since then I have had coolant leaks appearing left and right most likely because after replacing the radiator of hoses anything of that sort in creases the pressure and causes the weaker hoses or gaskets to start to leak. This current leak has been a fairly slow leak and I have to add anti-freeze about every three days. Other than the current coolant leaks, I haven't really had any other problems.
