New Maine Caprice Owner..
Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2017 7:06 pm
Hi all. Got my 2012 PPV about 2 months ago. Love it so far. Wanted a crown vic for years, despite how stale the design was but I really like the looks of the new caprices (but always were hard to come by versus the vics). Dare I also say i actually kind of like the police wheels too. Picked it up for $8k after all fees. 67k miles. Runs great from my experience (but i am far from a mechanic). Seems to book for a fair amount over that. How did i do?

Pic 1: always been meh when it comes to white vehicles but i can live with it
Pic 2: Dont let he pollen fool you, the engine is very clean, just about as much as my new pickup
Pic 3: Just showing some of the wiring still running to the trunk. That drawer type thing slides in and out.
Pic 4: Love how they left the front strobes in the headlights (but just had to pull out the spotlight)...would really like to get those working (for science of course). How difficult to do?
Pic 5: Any idea what that wiring harness may go to just inside the hood? I found it coiled up tightly inside. I thought maybe there was a push bumper and that ran to the lights on it but it does not look like there was a push bumper there. Just seems like a lot of wire for something close by. I also assume that bracket is where the siren went?
Pic 6: Just a photo to show a sample of all the cat 5 wiring running around the front of the car and running back towards the rear / center console.
Pic 7: Interior. While I like the vinyl floors...i think the carpeting is in its future.
I have one key that refuses to work, despite me trying to program it. However it does work on the trunk and doors so I know it goes to the car. May have to go see a dealer.
I also want a push bumper because why not. the one i can find readily available is the Westin one, anyone ever go this route?
