Big yacht-mobile
I bought this car with 85K miles on it because I wanted size and safety. That is what I got. It has been very reliable so far, except the lighting control module went out. So, my interior lights go on and off all day by itself. I had to take all the light bulbs out of the interior of the car or my battery would run dead. Also, the keyless entry doesn't work. It gets exactly 18 MPG with combined city/hwy driving. That's too bad considering gas is not $2.00+ per gallon. The car is very confortable, but score a "zero" in the fun factor rating. So, if size and safety is important to you, this is a good car for you.
Mercury Grand Marquis -- not perfect
the accessories are very unreliable. My car has been back to the dealer about 12 times in the 3 years I've owned. Bad speed control; bad keyless entry pad; bad AC (twice); windshield wipers have been worked on at least 6 times (replaced 5 times) and they still stutter across the windshield. Almost no storage room in passenger compartment. When drinks are in the drink holders, you can't access the AC controls. Rides rough for such a large car. Inadequate leg room in the back.
1999 Gran Marquis - A Great Ride!
I have had this car since it was new. The ONLY things I have done to it are tires, belts, hoses at regular intervals and a new battery. I have had gas mileage as high as 29.8 MPG at turnpike speed of 80 MPH. Dependability, great gas mileage and a luxury ride! I have bought another one! Consumers Reports Magazine rates the 1999 as a Best Buy used car. I agree.
2nd Marquis
The Marquis is a large, safe car that has plenty of power and handles nicely. This is my second one and I will probably trade for a third.
One of best American cars ever
With few minor modification under the hood, high performance tires & shocks this car will leave others eat the dust. Winter tires for snow & the snow plow follows my tracks. With ECM(Computer) from sister Crown Vic.(Police Interceptor) you won't believe increase in performance. A true monster
