Used 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis Consumer Reviews

Nice Car, Could Use Some Improvement

If you're like me and enjoy a large, roomy v-8 driven rear wheel drive car then the Mercury Marquis is about the only way to go now that GM has been out of the game since '96. That being said, it fills that niche nicely but a few things need to be addressed. I bought mine at 62,000 miles and it ran fine with no problems until around 75,000 when the plastic intake manifold cracked ($1,000 fix). This is apparently a common problem on the Ford 4.6L V8. It's comfortable, has plenty of room, and rides nice and smooth. Overall, a good value with nice features for the money.
