General Comments:
I have had my 2004 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS since it was new, and I tell you the truth, that I love this car as much as the day I took proud delivery of it.
It now has 74K, and runs and rides as great as brand new. I love the ride and comfort with that oh so nice sounding V8.
I truly wish FORD was not going to discontinue this car, but the market is what it is, so when the time comes, the FORD TAURUS will probably be my first choice, with the CHEVROLET IMPALA a distant second choice.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I also like my 2004 Grand Marquis, my second Grand Marquis. It has 121000 miles now. I had to change the manifold and the heat regulator door, costing me $1000. The paint though, is starting to peel off, and I will need a paint job soon. Otherwise, it rides great, and the sound system is very good. Like you, I wish Ford had not discontinued the model.

It is true that Panther cars will be available used for years to come, however they will get rarer and rarer every year, as well as just plain older. The cars I like and grew up with, late 1960s through 1980s cars, are now very difficult to find, and mostly too old for daily transportation. One way or another, one of these days we'll all be driving plastic front-wheel drive garbage.

It costs $1,000.00 to replace a manifold. Is that what you said?

The Panther cars will be available "used" for many years to come.
