Second CNG car by dejapooh

I have a 2007 Honda GX and we are about to get the Phill (well, as soon as we get a garage to put it in). My wife drives a van because of our kids, but I was thinking we could sell it and get another CNG car. What other 3600psi cars are there? I would like to get one at an auction, but anywhere it is cheap would be good.

Murphy has a couple of Ford Crown Vics on his site for sale, not sure of the PSI.

My CV's are 3000 psi. Not sure why with the dedicated stuff Ford decided to do 3000 PSI but all their bi-fuel stuff is 3600 psi.

When I had a 2000 CROWN VIC dedicated car it was 3000, but 2002 and later were 3600. not sure about 2001. I got rid of my cng crown vic back in 03. Under warranty , was sitting at the dealers service dept 32 out of the last 90 days I owned it. (not cng problems) When I complained to ford customer service , they suggested trading for a new vehicle , so I did , A HONDA.
PS When you call FORD customer service , you get to talk to someone at a call center who works for a pr firm. It appears the folks at FORD would rather not actually speak with the customer directly.Nice to see how FORD prefers to insulate themselves from those that have something to say about the product. " QUALITY IS JOB ONE " was FORD's claim . Maybe " HIDING FROM THE CUSTOMER IS JOB ONE" would be more accurate.

HondaGXSales,
 
I understand that Honda is only selling Fleet Sales in my area (Wisconsin). Is it possible as a "consumer" to purchase a new Honda GX from a dealer in CA and have the car "delivered" to WI?
 
I will try to call you directly on 5/21 so you will not be accused of $elling on the internet.

Have you called direct to Honda HQ in Torrance Calif to discuss this? I understood they sell nationwide, but you may need to travel a bit to a dealer.
NOT ALL DEALERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO SELL THE GX.
Last time I looked at the US map, Oregon and Washington (and other states) were not part of Calif or New York, where they advertise "consumer" GX sales as such. There is one Oregon dealer and two Washington GX dealers I have contacted that sell consumer. I am about to order one myself in Oregon and there is no hassle about doing it.
Keep pushing - you'll get one somehow.

What dealerships in Oregon and Washington? My cousin lives in Vancouver, WA and has been considering purchasing a GX.

I would recommend Tom H, nice guy I talked to the first time just to get info.
 
When I went back to discuss it further he was not working so I got stuck with some other guy..... Act a little less excided as I was and see if the price is negotiable 25,100 ish
 
let me know how it turns out.... I am looking to buy in June of this year so I will update with my final experiance.
 
Also Bob R. with WE Energies was very helpful with information on NGV. here are a few urls

Beaverton Honda in Oregon, and the dealers in Renton and Bellevue Washington handle the GX. Be sure to ask for the fleet or Internet sales departments - the floor sales folks may not even know there is a GX model or tell you no way.
Note: I heard through the grapevine (on this CarSpace) that Washington has a hefty license registration fee for CNG vehicles. Might want to put that into the cost equation.
