I can see your reasoning. In my opinion, the large amount of rebates given on the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis that I bought, $500 inducement voucher from Mercury, plus the $5000 factory to customer rebate, plus the $2500 marketing rebate to the dealer that he agreed to pass on to me to make the sale for a total of $8000 off of invoice more that made up for the depreciation in my opinion. This $8000 would not be part of buying a car a year or two old. Plus there is an advantage for a buyer like me that intends to keeping a car for a long time in being able to know the car has been 'broken in' and maintained since it was brand new.

Minor improvements over the intial '98. Too bad it took 10 years to come up with this antiquated offering
 
I love this "antiquated" platform. I just wish Ford decided to offer a passthrough between the trunk and the cabin to make it more attractive to the civilian market (as in not just police and taxi).
 
I won't even mention the station wagon version that I would love to see, but Ford seems too protective of their rapidly disappearing profit margins on the SUVs to cannibalize that market by introducing something more useful in this era of high gas prices. Suicidal policy, if you ask me.

2007 Crown Victoria Country Squire with 300 hp engine will do fine if manufactured.

Any potential sarcasm is lost on me . And yes, I would love the above but with the current engine or even a smaller diesel to maintain reasonable fuel efficiency.
 
Country Squire...

Meaningless to me where you detected any sarcasm. Stay in therapy.

First of all, I have no idea what "meaningless to me where you detected any sarcasm" means. And note, I said "potential". Second of all, what's all this nastiness about therapy? What's your problem? Did you miss the smiley in my post? Some people just have to walk around half-cocked.

I am proposing a bid for a maintenance and installation contract for a local police department. I will be re-wiring their computers. I am looking for any information or direction to find information regarding the electrical schematic for the crown vic interceptor. More specifically the draw and power requirements for the vehicle.
 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Country Squire = top of the line station wagon. A woody.
 
Country Sedan = middle of the line station wagon. No wood.
 
Ranch Wagon = bottom of the line station wagon. Less chrome.
 
All of the above were passenger cars from the windshield forward. Our first was a 67 Country Sedan and our last was a 73 Country Squire replaced by an 80 Lincoln Continental Town Car option.
