Used 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis Consumer Reviews
A Pleasure to Own
Purchase was a pleasant experience. The comfort of long distance drives is worth every penny of cost. Previously drove a Chrysler Concorde...the comfort of a long distance is evident, when getting to my destination, I can exit the vehicle and not feel like a crumpled crippled non-human entity. The wide stance of the chasis gives a very smooth ride......I have been pleasantly suprised each and every day that I own and drive this car.
the last one of 6
Ford has continued to cheapen up what used to be a great car. Top of the line LS model with load leveling and electronic-digital dash still suffers from seats with less support than a 95 LS I traded to get it. Wind noise is greater since Ford went to a thinner glass all around in 97. The Load leveling air pump used to be quiet as it was located under the trunk but is in the engine compartment now and it is incredibly noisy.I enjoy the illusion of feeling safer in a large car but I have been taken advantage of by Ford for the last time.Even though side air bags have been available for years,the Grand Marquis whose basic platform hasn't changed in over 12 years, still does'nt have them.
Quality Car
I sold Lincolns and Mercurys for many years. The Grand Marquis is the best American car on the road.

Traded our old 1999 and 2003 Grand Marquis in for two new 2004's, one GS model (mine) and one LS model (wife's). Ride on 2003 was stiffer. I am a salesman and this is my fourth Grand Marquis. These cars are the best value on the road today for a large sedan. Good gas mileage, 2004's have a softer ride than 2003's. Mechanically my 1999 was one of the best cars I have ever owned over the past 35 years. Just trouble-free from the beginning and all through my ownership, remained quite with no rattles for 86000 miles. So far 2004's have not dissappointed us in any way, ride great and run like a Swiss watch.
