Fantastic Car line!
The 1999 - 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis is /was a fantastic car model. A full-size luxury sedan, available with all the bells, whistles and trappings that other luxury car lines brag and boast of. It rides like a dream, all nice and soft just as you might expect. The V-8 power plant has plenty of power to get it moving and enough more to make it fun to drive. It handles as well as many cars much smaller, in town with traffic or on the highway. It is in fact a road warrior, large, comfy, gadget loaded and counting coup on the miles of roadway daring to layout before it. My last one, a 2002, had nearly 300k miles on it. I have seen a couple of them with over 450k miles on them. The 2010 I just picked up had 45,800 miles when I snapped it up a couple of weeks ago. It should last a good number of years and quite a few thousand miles more for me, as long as I keep up the maintenance. If you can find a well maintained one and are in the market, take it for a test drive. I doubt that you will be unimpressed with it. The sad part is that Mercury, and the Grand Marquis (as well as one of it's sisters the Ford Crown Victoria) is no more, discontinued. Odds are, that I just bought my last Grand Marquis. I hope that I am able to maintain this one.

Solid as a rock
Have had my MGM now 12 years since new and no issues of any kind so far . Mine is a 100A; that is , a fleet version , special order for government use. . Handles very well , this one has HD suspension ( no air ). Gas Mileage is better than book numbers say it would be. Best car ever bought. Addenda : Now 14 years , still no issues, just servicing by the book , or before.

Last of the old school yank tanks
I rented a Grand Marquis because it was lined up with some Nissan Altimas and looked much more spacious for a family of five with all our luggage. It is huge inside (able to take a sixth passenger!), smooth and comfy and I liked it for this. However much I liked it, I have to admit that it is very thirsty on fuel and is enormous on the outside - not easy to park in a multi-storey cark park. It also corners in a heavy and sloppy fashion, as you would expect looking at it. It is an old design with all of the good and bad points you would expect of this.
Old dependable
Have had car now 12 years, no issues except regular maintenance. Had it this long, certainly does not seem like it . 14.3 ltrs/100 km city, 8.9 ltrs/100 hiway. actual calculated mileage. Extremely dependable.

No longer pumped up!
I purchased a 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis LS several years ago as used, with 17,000 miles showing from a local Ford Dealer. I purchased it because I don't like the new cars which all look the same. At my age it should be my last car. The onlyl problem I've had with it is the air suspension system. It began leaking, and they replaced the air springs. Later on they leaked again. My repair guy recommended I switch to standard coil springs, whic I did. No more trouble and the ride is just the same as far as I can tell. I put narrow whitewall tires on it to dress it up, and people constantly approach me in parking lots to gush over the car. It's like going back to the 1960s in that respect. I love it.
