Bought this car for $500 cause the body looked like crap. Live in Ohio. It's going to rust. Had it for 10 months and put 30,000 miles on it. Minimal problems. replaced the intake manifold. Most owners will. Biggest drawback on my opinion. This car Handel's pretty good for a boat of a car despite the fact that it has the turning radius of a national park, but it has some of the best steering of it's time The car is really comfortable. Not as roomy as I thought but it's roomy enough. The two drawbacks of the interior are the radio controls are pretty far away and the lack of storage. I bought an aftermarket console which solved the problem.controls on dash are simple but work. Repairing the car is pretty simplistic. There is a decent amount of space in the engine compartment. Parts are also cheap. Engine and transmission run strong. Engine lack power a little bit. But you don't buy a Grand Marquis to race. Replacing this car with a 99 in alot better shape and I hope to have that one for a long time.

I purchased this car to take to work (90 miles a day), to tow with, and to lug family and friends in. Also to stop putting so many miles on my baby, my Mustang. As far as performance, I'm used to the power of my GT, though the power is nothing like my Mustang, it's very powerful for what it is. A full sized sedan. I have only one problem with the car, and that's the interior. Only two cup holders (The car can seat 6 people). Also the front arm wrests should have storage, along with the back arm wrests (If the car had rear arm wrests). Oh, and the car needs a posi so both rear wheels spin. As far as mileage, I get 25-28 hwy, 20-23 city. It burns no oil with 105,000 miles on it.
I’m in love with this girl

She rides nice. No issues that are out of line for a car built 29+ yrs ago. Need to replace the blend air actuator a $50 part I’m going to try to fix myself and a window repair that can be repaired with a $8 part and some elbow grease. It’s the best riding car I’ve ever owned. That counting the car I bought brand new off the lot. If eventually this breaks down, I will immediately purchase another one if I can find one. Best first car and last car you’ll ever need.

Bought this car for my wife with 87k. It is very nice to drive. Smooth and quiet. The best combined MPG to date is 21.72 . Since then I changed out the single exhaust to duals using Walker Quiet Flow mufflers and a Walker H- pipe. Doing this cut almost .6 sec off the quarter mile time. Don't know on the MPG's yet. I can't run the fuel out.LOL.
