Great Car
This is my third Grand Marquis, and by far the best of all. They just keep getting better and better. I always put over 100000 miles on them before trading, with no major problems. Also, I get the dual exhaust model, as it adds a few more horsepower to the already peppy 4.6L.
1999 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
A very reliable car. No major service needed during the three years I owned it. Very confortable and easy to handle.

Good Reliability
I got this car at 40,000 miles for free from my dad. It took some getting used to but it is alright for now. It's too floaty and can't get comfortable in the front seats. Ford needs to redesign this 70's interior. Pay me a couple hundred grand and I will tell you how to do it Ford. It is obvious you are overpaying your help with this one. The only thing I like about it is it has not broken down yet. What the heck is wrong with Ford for not having anti-lock brakes standard on this car. Give me a break. It's like I am in my dad's Impala from the 70's. The car has decent headlights and hopefully will get me around this winter with no problem.

No problems.
Problems never addressed
A consistant problem is the head gasket on the 4,6 liter engine. it commonly leaks and costs +/- $1,500 to fix. Ford also used a plastic manifold that crack with wear, which cost $500 +/- to fix. The last problem is a brake line bracket on the rear crossbeam that can cut & ignite the gas tank during a severe rear end crash. Ford has recalled and fixed public vehicles but has not done the same for everyday consumers. Overall I would never buy this vehicle Ford or Mercury ever again.
Not Bad For a Boat
Best highway cruiser I've owned since my 74 Impala. Extremely quiet, ample power and at 22 mpg, you can't complain. Strong signs of ancient automotive technology like analog gauges, but the car seems rock solid. Would seriously entertain buying a sportier model than the GS when this one is used up.
