The car has had numerous problems. I could not have kept it without a warranty. Example, all four window regulators have failed at 300 dollars each to repair. Add the expected cracked intake manifold plus much else.
The car that defies aging. Rides like glass. 😁

I have owned every Lincoln model since 1973 Mark V. I put 160k on all of them minimum. But this amazing beast just wont die..lol 240k and other than brakes & tires because I drive it like a race car. ( no tickets or accidents in 50 years,God loves me I think ..lol ) But this car has the ride of a town car, just 6 inches shorter & less wide. Same 302 engine, but without costly air bags.Buy one if u can. 1997 Mercury Gran Marquis defies reality for durability. Plus I miss American cars luxury with the creature comforts of yesterday. When I see someone in a smart Car or selling out our country buying imports from people who hate us I just have to put on my Foreigner cassette and go back in time. God Bless Go Trump who gave us $2,00 gas...whew hoo!

I bought this new and never had any problems other than a cracked intake manifold which Ford paid for as part of a class actin settlement. Was hoping to get 250k plus - changed oil, trans and other fluids etc. Developed a brake leak and the brake lines are corroded from front to back - $1800 in labor alone to replace. I had noticed alot of the piping under the hood seemed to rot - electrolysis? If you're looking at one of these watch this - great car otherwise.
Reliable car good value

I bought a Marquis for my son 5 years ago for $2700 and was in perfect shape with clean title. It had 72000 miles on it. Since then he put 142000 miles on car. Had some repairs over the 5 years that I believe are common on Marquis. Replaced intake manifold(Rock auto) Has to replace front ball joints and tie rod. Had to replace window actuator on driver side door. Replaced battery and just recently replaced rear bearing. Fortunately I was able to do these repairs myself otherwise they would cost a lot of money in my area. Bought parts through Rock Auto, Autozone & Advanced Auto.
