Nah that's a reasonable price, if not a bit low for a dealer. There isn't a terribly big market for that gen Crown Vics, at least not that I've ever heard of.

THIS BIKE IS SO AWESOME THAT MY GIRLFRIEND SAW ME ON IT, STUFF HAPPENED, SHE GOT PREGNANT, WE GOT MARRIED, AND NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY. I just wanted to give you fair warning of what this bike is capable of. I'm not sure how the engineers at Yamaha did it, but this bike will make you extremely potent. I don't recommend this bike for women unless you want to immaculately conceive on your first ride. The bike is just that amazing!!

The bike is in great shape, clear blue title, no problems and had an oil change and chain service done by Zabor's less than 100 miles ago. The bike has 15,250 miles on it, but runs like it's new! There are a few scratches where it went down with the previous owner. The muffler has a few scratches but nothing major. The old handle grips are wearing out but I have new ones that go with the bike. I have some parts for the bike that I didn't get around to installing - frame sliders, front flushmount turn signals, a disc alarm, and I also have digital copies of the service manual and the parts manual too.

I'm also selling an alpinestars mesh jacket, joe rocket pants, helmet, and two sets of gloves. I warn you though, if you wear all this gear while riding this bike, you'll look so good that you better not drive by any sororities because you'll immediately gain 50 baby mommas. Consider yourself warned.

Cash only, weekends are the best time to come look but after 7pm weekdays might work.

No refunds if anyone gets knocked up.

253whp@5psi/240ft/lbs torque
309whp@9psi/291ft/lbs torque

There's also a ton of parts and miscelanious items.

My starting price will be $10 000 OBO and I am willing to negotiate the price. I have that alone into the powertrain setup, but like we all know you don't get what you put into it.
The KM's posted are the km's on the motor. The body has 306 000km, but has been redone and colour change proffesionnaly.

Does the car audio mod industry make purple radiators, fans and master cylinders? Considering how there is overspray on everything under the hood, that funky ground wire color is very likely a result of straight up negligence and laziness.
