Last year we bought a 2010 Mercury Marques with only 21,500 miles, and it looks new. It was garaged every day of it's life and belonged to a 90 year old that was having trouble seeing. All I did was replace the battery, serpentine belt, anti freeze flushed and a new set of Michelins. The tires were flat spotted and 13 years old, everything else was preventative. We have had show cars all our lives and did a two week long detailing on the Mercury, it looks 99.9% new.

With the 1998 through 2011 Town Cars the only difference I see in comfort is in seats. In the earlier Town Cars ( 1997 and back ) the seat bottoms were wider and much more comfortable for your legs. The Grand Marquis never changed the seats they are more comfortable than the 1998-2011 to me. Especially the back seat. There is also more leg room in the 1997 and earlier years in the Town Car. With that said, I'd still rather own a Town Car!

@@EnthusiastCarHangar I'm not sure there is much of a difference in ride quality between the generations, if we are talking about the air ride cars. They were introduced in 1988. They are all fantastic! The second generation is the longest one, but the first generation is a bit heavier. I've only ever ridden in a first generation pre-air suspension, so I don't know. The third generation is the shortest, but also the heaviest. I'm keeping my eyes open specifically for a 3rd generation long wheel base edition... Its been pretty hard to find one low mileage.

@ OleSevers-- I still have the receipt from July 17, 2015 when I had the rear air ride suspension removed and had it replaced with coil springs. The set coil springs was $234.00 and labor was $198.00 for a total of $432.00. When the rear air ride suspension went out, the rear end of the car was sagging badly, and the ride was extremely hard and bumpy. I drove it to the nearest repair shop as I didn't want to drive it very far, instead of taking it to my regular mechanic. Because of this, I probably paid more than I should have. More than nine years later after the repair, I am still driving the 2002 Town Car, and it has been mostly trouble free.

Blend doors, 0 issue on my 2010. Same for intake manifold. Did have to replace throttle body. No biggie. Rust? My car was a Florida car and I had it Ziebarted before it saw any Ohio snow and salt. Still 0 rust, frame looks like it rolled off the line yesterday. It's all about finding a good one and taking care of it. Not expensive at all.

Question guys. Don't they have a lot of crappy plastic engine parts? Issues what's a leaky intake manifold, cheap plastic buttons breaking, a bunch of actuators in the dashboard that need to be changed, so the windows don't open? paint issues, rust issues on the undercarriage? The fake chrome feeling off ?

From a mechanical point I let someone else answer but I never had any issues. My biggest issue is that the fake chrome peels. I brought it up in some of my videos and bought an original new grille while still available. Never heard of the other problems. Paint no issue I have seen worse in newer more expensive cars. As for the buttons and interior plastics they are fine. Seen worse on old GM products and even old Mercedes tend to have the plastics get brittle or wear. Depending on the year. For the price and vehicle it is the quality is fine.
