I worked at Osman Lincoln Mercury in Melbourne Florida 2001-2003 and sold hundreds of these. GS, LS, Custom Tops you name it. It was and still is the best bang for the buck. many bought these over the new Town car because they did not like the rounded town car revamp at the time. Great times, great cars great people.

What is the reason that made them neglect the Panther platforms in terms of updating the engine, automatic transmission, an advanced suspension system, and some modern technologies, as Toyota did with the Lexus ls and Mercedes with the S and E-class and BMW 7-class, Audi and Infiniti??? Because it doesn't make sense for them to update the Ford Expedition, Explorer, Mustang, Taurus, F150, Focus, Mendeo, Continental, Edge, Fusion, and Ranger. And then they neglect the Panther platforms. It doesn't make sense for them to update all Ford cars except for the Crown Vic, Marquis, and Town Car. Why did they make these cars die? From 1991 - 2011 with the same 4.6L engine and transmission!!! Why did they kill the symbol of American sedans?

Neil, I have a 2007 TownCar but I’m wondering what is the true difference between a Grand Marquis and a TownCar? My understanding it’s just some materials and a few features. In Canada, where I live…TownCars are getting more scarce and would consider a Grand Marquis if it’d run out of availability from TownCars.

The intake manifold gasket let go on my 97 Town Car two years ago. I use the car everyday for work, and mostly drive on the highway. I don't remember the exact mileage, but right now it has 135k miles on it. One of the best thing's about following your site is looking at all of car's you've sold over the year's. I was just looking at the 84 Olds Torando Brougham and the 84 Buick Electra Park Avenue. I think you're worthy of the saying. " The man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour".

I don't have the digital instrument cluster, the BBS style wheels, nor do i have the wooden steering wheel. everything else, however, is the same. I picked it up for $1000, as a starter car for my newly licensed son. He had to pry the keys from me because the car rides so comfortably.

If people were transparent like you are when selling a car people would have grand experiences. I watched this video with great interest. I have never heard of a Mercury Grand Marquis LS Limited. It must have been a special trim level. You are right it is loaded like a Lincoln Town Car. People do not realize the Grand Marquis has been like that for years. The car has a lot of features for the money. The only thing I did not like were the headlights. Those one headlight on each of the grille headlight designs on cars like this make me cringe because why would they put a economy car headlight design on cars like this. Town Car had it, and I can name many new cars that have it too. I like the headlight design on the 1993-1996 better. I like the wheels, the instrumentation panel, the seats, and the steering wheel controls. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like a great car. Oil change isn’t a time issue or expense. Drive it after immediately doing a Lube oil and filter . Do the ball joints and shocks in a short month or so , and this should give many years of service . No worries on no air suspension; it’s less to get repaired later. If it handles right then great but sway bars can be added. It’s not a race car , just a high quality family sedan. Good looking grampa car .
