I've put 98K miles on my '98 Crown Vic patrol car and it has only been in the shop THREE times! Pretty good for a Ford. Once it wouldn't stay running without keeping your foot on the gas pedal (fuel pump?). Once it had to have a bracket welded onto the rear suspension due to a recall. And the cheap plastic air intake manifold had to be replaced due to a hairline crack (apparently happens to all of them). It still drives like new 
My department has switched to FWD Impala's. YUCK!

Kinda OT, but most of our ambulances are W210s.
