I needed a reliable, safe, affordable and clean family car. The LS meets all of the criteria. My 4 year old son likes the car and his review was cool car dad. My 7 year old daughter and wife are caught up in the small car preference but I explained the values of the car vs. paying for a small car with a higher price. Many of the repairs that others mentioned as negatives were fixed before I purchased the car. I found the car at an estate sale and looked for such a car for about 3 months. We paid $1,000 for it and its the best money ever spent on a car. The previous owner, an older man, took great care of the car. I also like that I am driving a US brand car. A great value!

I bought this car from an older fellow in Feb. 2010 for the sole purpose of replacing my Oldsmobile Aurora. This Grand Marquis is not as advanced or as modern as the car it replaced but the ride and comfort far surpass anything on the road today. I have driven many cars from Acura to Volvo and can personally say that Ford did a great job on keeping the traditional American sedan alive. It is a shame Ford is discontinuing the Panther platform of cars ( Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car) as of 2011 because I am now sold on these excellent cars. The Performance is good for it's almost 3800 pound mass and the powertrain is smooth and responsive. I highly recommend you test drive one today!

I've owned BMW's , Mercedes and Jags, but the Mercury Marquis is the best car for the money. I've driven this car thru thick and thin, including moving 5 times, a divorce, and this baby has been with me the whole way. She is as comfortable and rides just like new and she now has 185,000 miles. Car looks and rides like new. I salute the engineers and workers at Ford-Canada for producing a wonderful product for a working stiff like me.
Comfortable, reliable, a great car

I purchased this vehicle with around 45,000 original miles on it. The body is nearly perfect. The car rides smooth, road bumps are hardly noticed. Plus it gives you a safe feeling, after all, it is a big car. The engine runs smooth and, with a EPA rating of 19 mpg/city-27 mpg highway, it makes you wonder where modern engineering is, when compared to todays cars.

Great car!!! Comfort, ride, handling, dependability, power, tight turn radius for big sedan. MPG average around 21 city/hwy. Large trunk (even better if using a temporal spare, full size spare eats up a lot of room). Only real issue of concern was having to replace both rear axles before 30K miles. Mercury allowed poorly heat treated axles to be installed during '93, and they won't pay to replace them. A minor issue is the difficulty in changing the oil filter (tight clearance to get out once unscrewed)

I had my G/M for about 4 years during and a little bit after college. I got it with 130K miles and I rarely had a problem. Alternator went bye bye at ~150K miles and I replaced the S-belt at that time as well. I also replaced the starter about a month after that. All work done by me. Very easy car to drive, great car to own. Great to carry people/stuff around for road trips etc. I would own another g/m without hesitating if I didn't mind the size & gas mileage so much. I finally got rid of it November 2007 due to a collection of maintanance items that I couldn't afford. (work cost more than the car was worth)

I bought this car in 2006, and it's one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. It has a very comfortable ride, and it is very roomy inside. The one thing I didn't like about this car is the clearcoat paint fading. But, this car is reliable, so I can overlook that. It isn't the most fuel efficient vehicle, but the comfort and the smooth ride outweighs that. Overall, the car is a nice car. Although, the driver side window motor died on it and the lock cylinder in my trunk broke.

I bought this fantastic car two mounth ago and really felt in love with it! In Russia, even in Moscow there are few Mercurys, and especially Marquis. So you drive through Moscow crazy streets like a king! This car has exellent peformance, super comfort (very quiet at the road) and very powerful AC (yes, our summers are hot - 100 F*). My car's mileage is 89 460, but it has contract motor and new transmition - so like new one. It's very pity thst we have few good roads, and maximum speed limit is 74 mph =( So, i want to say thanks to ford, who made such extraordinary car!

This car was my first car that I got for only 900 and I love it. It drives really nice and for being a big car, it is fairly easy to drive. The steering is pretty loose which I like and it has more power under the hood than most people would think. But I have had to do some minior repairs. I had to get my rear brake pads replaced (which I knew buying the car), a new headlight switch, and my crank sensor stopped working. But thats not too bad and this car has treated me great

I really like this car. It's quiet, At 155,000 it made it from NY to FL with no trouble. The only bad thing is the location of the EGR valve. It's hard to get at for service. But, what a great car. I'd take one any day over a Camry

Purchased it a week ago with 116,030.7 miles on it. The things I've noticed (and I accept - I am one with the world) are, the loose plastic door panel around the power controls - while not falling off or anything, it squeaks when pushed on, a little oil consupmtion, those darned plastic headlight covers are yellow. Little things like that. I must say, though, that I love, love LOVE the ride. This baby floats on the highway. My other car is a Park Avenue. Gimme a Marquis next time, too!

i Got this car 4 years ago and drive it a lot. I have taken it out on two long trips and it handled great. The cost was right in late 2001 at $ 4,500 however now that the car is old I am putting more and more money into it to keep it running. I like big cars and feel sfe in the larger cars. Gas mileage is a sacrifice I am willing to make so far and I limit the total amount of driving.

I only had this car for about 2 months due to a crash. It originally had 162,000 miles on it, by the end of that 2 months it already had 165,500 miles. It was a pretty good car. Engine light stays on. The plastic headlights had turned yellow over the years(so lights could be brighter). The windshield wipers turned off when I had my left blinker on, but would go back on once I turned. The tapeplayer didn't work, but radio was fine.

Bought this car new. And had wonderful luck with the car , not a lot of problems, it rides so smooth compared to all other cars I have rode in. It has 176,000 mi on it, wouldn't get another car until this one is dead. The worst of the car is the paint job, sun faided really bad. Would like to get a new paint job. Would get another one if it was front wheel drive and better gas milage. Would highly recommend this car to anyone.
Great car!

Bought this car as an inexpensive commuter and have been plesantly surprised. I bought it one year ago with 80,000 miles on it. I have put 21,000 miles on it in one year. Had to replace the starter, fuel filter, and replaced the rear brake pads and rotors. I enjoy driving this car because it's very comfy, quiet, and I think it's good on gas considering it has a V-8. I recently returned from a long road trip (1500 miles round trip) and I got 26-28 mpg through the Kentucky/West Virginia mountains. Driving around town and on the highway I average 21 mpg. Currently my "Air bag" light is on but I'm not going to worry about it.

i bought the car in 1998 with only 20,000 miles on it and now it has 50,000 miles on it.it's the best car for the price out there because, a lincoln cost about $4,000 more and just the same features as this grand marquis and also the car is very reliable and plenty of power for long or short trips. so if you want a car for a good price and reliablity get this car.

It's surprisingly fun to drive and gets good gas mileage for a V8. The trunk space is huge and the bench seats comfortable. I took it on cross- country trips because it's built for the highway and never had any problems in cold Iowa winters. The rear-wheel drive made it prone to getting stuck in the snow but it always started right up and heated up quickly. Now for the problems. *All four power window motors died, sometimes forcing me to take apart the door to get the window up. *1 door wouldn't unlock from outside OR inside *Power seat died *Gears stripped in the blower for the A/C & heat *A/C went out *Tranny started to slip *Had to junk it after 145,000 mi I still recommend!

The 93 GS that I owned was as reliable as the sun rising every morning - hardly a problem in 80000 miles of ownership. I ran the miles up to just over 160,000. The engine used no oil between 3000 mile oil changes and was always willing to run. The body was as tight as any car I've ever ridden in, with minimal noise from wind.

I bought this car because I needed a four door due to 3 kids. Now we drive it all the time. The gas mileage is great for an older car but it runs like a dream. I can't even tell the engine is running. And passing power is amazing. State troopers use it, but there is a reason they do. It's pure fun to drive and comfy as a warm blanket on a cold night.

After 108K miles still pretty dependable and has plenty of power. Ride is smooth and quiet. Check engine light comes on often without any reason. The transmission shifts rough (like washboard road) even after fluid changed. But all in all it is still a dependable car.

the marquis i had has 200,000 miles. after the first 80k or so, things started going bad. the transmission was been changed twice, gearbox once, and some steering thing a while back. the antenna doesnt work anymore either, and it seems to constantly haveproblems. its not like the oil was never changed in time or anything, maintainance is one of my concerns.
Great Car!

Wait for someone else to work out the problems. When the car works, its a blast to drive. But ... in 10 years of ownership: 2 transmissions (every 100K), 2 steering assemblies, 1 fuelpump, check engine light comes on constantly because of bad sensor design (usually a $600 repair - stopped changing it after warranty ran out - no problems since, but I worry). New set of ignition wires every year (they burn out quick - $200 repair). Hard on brakes. Weak spots for rust, fenders - even after rustproofing and annual maintenance. No built in cup holders - what were they thinking - it's a touring sedan?!

I would definetly buy another one,, this has been a great car,, I have over 175000 miles on it and it runs great, it is using a little oil now though, but after 175000 miles, i think it should use a little, this is a comfortable car to drive, definetly one of ford/mercurys better cars that i have owned, the only problem with it is that the clear coat on the car has started pealing, but its been such a good car that i can look past the pealing clearcoat,

Although I bought this car as a stop gap measure (as my other car blew its trans). I have been ok with this one so far. I have a bad spine due to injury, and the ride of this car is very good for both short and long hauls. I am involved in my sons (youth) fraternal oganization and frequently my car serves a bus for teens and early twenties. Even on three hour rides to events, no complaints and everybody has room.
Overall a Superb Car

I purchased my 1992 Mercury Grans Marquis LS in August of 2002 the car had 87000 miles when I purchased it. This car is the best car I have ever owned. It is very reliable and the comfort, smoothness is surpassed by any other make. I had a 1983 Cadillac and the Marquis is no where in handling and performance compared to the caddy. If I intend to purchase another Mercury Marquis it will definately be a brand new one. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this car.

This has been a good car until very recently. Until about 150k only minor problems, rear window motors broke, but all in all still running strong, now in the last 3 months pass window and lock broke, ac is out, radio is out, y pipe as rotted away, brakes have warped, check engine lite on, but I replaced the vac hoses, plugs and wires, I also seem to have a slow leak on one wheel with every tire I put on it, the car still starts and gets me where i have to go, but if you own one sell before you get to 150k to avoid all of these issues, if I could get $500 for it, it would be gone!
