Really Nice Car
I bought this car with 73,500 miles on it and I would have to say, it runs really good. I did some preventative maintence on it when I first got it and after that, the car runs like a dream. I get about 23 mpg average just running around town. I would have to say that that is extremely well for a V8 engine.
Best car I ever owned
I purchased the 2000 Grand Marquis Mercury LS as a 'program car' meaning it had been owned by Avis Rental Cars and it had 20,000 miles on it. It is over 135,000 miles now and I have had less trouble with the car than any I ever owned. I love the way it handles, the huge trunk and carrying capacity. I sincerely enjoy the 8 cyl engine for its quick speed in traffic in the city. The single drawback is the low gas mileage, but it does use regular gas so that has helped. I want to purchase another car exactly like this one!
Head out on the highway!
Drove it from south Florida to North Carolina and averaged 29 mpg around 65 mph! Outstanding! A big comfortable highway cruiser for our occasional road trips. I've since added dual exhaust, rear air shocks and replaced those awful plastic wheel covers with the cast aluminum laced wheels. Will also have to replace the original intake manifold (with plastic coolant passages) before our next trip. Only design flaws are radio and heater controls not in easy reach, wide floor sill under doors makes exiting the car a little clumsy. Power windows are getting slow, common for Fords.
Owned mine 8 years so far.
Purchased this brand new. Excellent car. No breakdowns in over 8 years. All I did was routine maintenance. The coolant temperature sensor went bad 3 years ago, but everything still works fine. Surviving 8 Michigan winters with no rust, and the original exhaust system still in great shape is a miracle. If gas weren't so high I'd be buying another one. I do mostly city driving, but my car still gets great mileage on the highway. It's like driving in the safety of a tank with a sofa inside.
