7 of 7 people found this review helpful
I purchased my very low mileage Grand Marquis almost 2 years ago as a cheap car just to go back and forth to work. I've since realized that this car is not a cheap car. It's very well constructed, Very reliable and gets excellent fuel mileage for it's size. I drive 66 miles to work a day and I'm 6'4" so I needed something comfortable and good on fuel....my truck was very thirsty so I bought this second car. I'm very glad I did now...I love the car and hardly ever drive my new truck anymore as a matter of fact I've only put 2000 miles on my truck in the last year....that's how much I enjoy driving this car.
Absolutely Wonderful!!

This is the first brand-new vehicle I've bought since 1982. The Special Edition package is what sets it apart from everything on the road, with the tutone Spruce Green and Gold Ash paint, as well as the badging and the hood ornament. The leather is totally comfortable, the ride is very smooth, and the car will take off like a bullet to get up with traffic. Trunk size is only matched by the Town Car, which means there's more than enough room to take six people and all the luggage they can bring. Gas Mileage averages between 25-30 on the highway, which makes for nonstop trips. 5 Star Crash ratings and Best in Quality by JD Power!

I love this car. It is a true luxury car and priced about $10,000 cheaper than its twin, the Lincoln Towne Car. I had never owned a Mercury and the first time I drove it, I was sold. The ride and the spacious interior make up for the fact that the gas mileage is not great. The car is equipped with things like lumbar seats, heated seats and mirrors,programmable garage door opener, and an enormous trunk. It steers almost effortlessly.

Bought my 2004 Ultimate Edition with 68,000 miles on it. I've owned Mercedes, BMW's, Jaguars and Saabs. Needed something with low mileage and a great price. I was able to get both AND a great car. Looks like a boat but it's a wonderful car. Smooth ride and shifting. Quiet. I happen to like big cars. I'm not even a senior citizen! Has a lot of nice touches - turning beacons, nice interior touches, great finish, wonderful suspension. Wish it got better MPG's...15 in the city but much better on the highway...up to 29 mpg's which is amazing for a car this size. Power seats on both sides for the front split bench. Wish it had a console and floor shifter. Steering wheel has a lot of controls on it - cruise control (works great), audio, even temperature and fan control. However, the "next" button which goes to your next radio station or CD track only goes one way - up. So, you have to work your way around your saved settings. Has 2 outlets in the front - huge ashtray. Could have used a light there. The dash could have used a little sprucing up rather than some of the basic black plastic. Sound system is good but great. These cars have a tendency to have a bag leak in the rear air suspension. Will eventually take out the bags and put coils - for $250. Easy engine to work on - lots of room to get your hands dirty. Self-dimming rear mirror. Lots of value in this vehicle. Paid $3,500. Low resale value but my guess is I'll have this baby probably for a long time. Really am enjoying this automobile. The only issue I have with it is that the airbags for the rear suspension probably have a slight leak. This causes the compressor to kick in pretty often. I can either replace the airbags or just have springs put in their place. Same ride. It will cause the airbag light to stay on but who cares? Cost for springs is $250 plus labor.

This Automobile Has a Very hard ride, you feel every bump in the road, (small or large). It being a large 4 door sedan the ride is a big disapointment. I will not own it very long. Before you buy one give it a good test drive!!!!!!!!!!
