Faults:

I had a oil leak in the oil sending unit.

General Comments:

The car is lovely, it handles good. It's easy on gas.

It has been a wonderful car for me, I bought it when I was 16, wrecked it, and bought me another one just like it.

I think I will stay with a Mercury the rest of my life.

Faults:

I failed an emissions test because the Nox was over 900; unfortunately that's almost triple the limit. I'm not sure how to pass the emissions test. I have to replace the EGR Valve, and I am thinking to Terra-Clean the vehicle. I don't know why, but maybe it is the EGR Valve. When I come to a red light, or stop for over one minute (at 0 Km/h), then the vehicle will stall. There is no trouble to start up or drive; just when I have been sitting for over a minute. So to prevent stalling, I inch up before a minute. If sitting at a red light, I wonder why it stalls?

General Comments:

As I mentioned above, the vehicle always handled wonderfully on road and highway. It had a smooth ride, with low kilometers when purchased.

Faults:

Replaced all the gas lines and brake lines.

Replaced a cracked windshield.

Replaced the alternator.

Replaced the wheel bushings and rotors.

Resealed the tires.

General Comments:

Bought the car for $600 bucks.

No rust on the exterior, and underneath is pretty good.

It sat for 2 years, so I had to put about 1800.00 into it for safety.

Have only been driving it for 2 days now, and really like the steering/comfortable seating.

Everything so far is working fine - I hope it will be good to me in the future.

Faults:

Emergency brake does not work

Heater barely heats

Air Conditioner does not work

2 Electric windows had to be replaced.

General Comments:

I inherited this car from my dad and have grown to love it. Yes, it's showing it's age and some things don't work, but it starts up every time, is comfortable, and has a lot of giddy up on the highway. It parks like a boat and I have dinged up the fenders/tail lights because of it. But to own this car is to love it. I plan to get another Grand Marquis when this one bites the dust, but I am in no hurry.

General Comments:

I bought my car in June of 2005, as a 16 year old who just trashed his 1980 Cadillac, I wanted something big, powerful and comfortable. The 4.6L V8 pumps out a lot of power-when it is on all 8 cylinders. It is the same engine that cop cars have in them today. Shortly after I bought my car, it would shake terribly when it shifted into third gear. It took months to figure out that it was an ignition module that needed to be replaced. After it was back on all 8 cylinders, green light starts were not a problem.

In summer and fall, the ride is smooth, and it is really easy to feel the power from the engine, but in winter, one tap on the gas pedal at the wrong time can be awful.

Inside the car, it's really comfortable, even with the cloth seats. It's a six-seater, with plenty of room for all six. The back seat area reminds me much like a limo when it has the center-armrest folded down. The standard tape-player never worked when I bought the car, but a nice Clarion CD player works great.

The only downside to the interior of the car is the fact that there are no cup-holders.

All in all, the car is great, but don't expect it lasting much past 250000km unless it is babied, although it can take a lot of abuse.

If you come across one, buy it. They also make nice taxi's.
