Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Plenty of interior room, comfortable ride, good crash test scores.

Cons

Large size makes it difficult to park and maneuver, some low-grade interior materials.

What’s new

For 2004, the Grand Marquis is available with laminated side glass to reduce wind and road noise, as well as provide greater protection in the event of an accident. A CD player is now standard on all models. Side airbags, a moonroof and heated front seats are now optional.

Edmunds says

A perennial best-seller among older folks who appreciate its large size and reasonable price, the Grand Marquis offers a Lincoln Town Car experience for under $30,000.

2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Premium 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Great Value. Resale value is low but that is good for buyers looking for dependable transportation. Electronic temperature controls can be expensive to fix. Great car for the money. This thing is just as comfortable as when it was new, runs just as smoothly as well. I'll take another one.

2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Ultimate 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Full frame, V8 Rear Wheel Drive. The only configuration I'll ever own. Been driving Grand Marquis' and Town Cars for over thirty years, and that will be the same till I die. I work on my own cars and have never purchased new. These cars are rugged, reliable and cheap & easy to fix. That's why police departments, taxi companies and rental agencies chose this platform. Just bought this …
