Value for the Dollar

After much shopping around looking at comparitable cars, I chose the Grand Marquis because of its size, V8 engine, and rear wheel drive. This car was thousands cheaper than comparable cars with the same equipment and platform. The car has plenty of smooth, quiet power coupled with a turnpike ride that suits my tastes. While it doesn't shine in fuel economy, it still gets much better milage than a 64 Dodge Dart I had with a 273 V8. Overall; I think the Grand Marquies and the Ford Crown Victoria are two of the best values for full size cars in todays market.

I bought this car a year and a half ago because of the raving reviews on this site. I spent $7,000 for a 2002 with 70,000 miles on it. Now at 100,000 miles I have to put $2,200.00 into the car. The whole front suspension is shot. Upper and Lower Ball Joints Sway Bar Links Idler and Pitman Arms I am very disappointed in my investment. Also that car gets horrible horrible gas mileage. Probably 12 miles to the gallon.

My Marquis is Junk

This car is junk. I can't even start it half the time. The alarm system will not disarm. It had a water leak and smells like swamp water. There is nowhere to put anything. It is total junk. I've already had to replace the exhaust system. It is basically $22,000 worth of junk. I will never own another. That's a promise. Mercury will fix nothing. 36,000 miles and you own it baby.

Excellent highway cruiser/with good fuel economy. Drove to FLA last summer (12 hour run) and did not feel beat when we arrived. Not a young persons car, but ideal for 50 and older crowd.

Why buy anything else

This is the second Grand Marquis I have owned in the last three years and I am amazed that everyone doesn't drive one. I have found the cars to be the best value on the highway today. With Mobil 1 in the crankcase the engine performs flawlessly producing approximately 19 MPG in town driving and 24 Highway. I am a REALTOR and have spent $0 in repairs and at 6'3" I am able to transport 5 other adults around in relative comfort. Please do not Europianize this American Icon. I have no need for an uncomfortable sedan that has a skidpad rating of .9.
