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.

I used to own an 02 Crown Victoria LX. Still one of my favorite car to this day. Bought if for cheap when I was a college student because it was rusty, but I have so much amazing memory doing road trips around the country. Never gave me much trouble. Original alternator lasted 19 years, AC compressor clutch lasted 20. MPG is 27 for highway driving, 18 for combined lol. The best platform that combines comfort, style, and reliability!

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!

I love all the Town Car's just like you. My order of preference is different... but we are different people, so that makes sense. My favorite is the 2nd generation. Then the 1st. Then the 3rd. I bought a 1993, because I found a real creampuff cheap.. I'd rather have a 1996 or 1997 though. OBD1 interface on the older ones is a real pain in the rump. I'm keeping my eyes open... if the right gen 1 or gen 3 comes along, no hesitation.

@@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. I think you would have to do back to back testing over the same course on the same day with all 3 to draw a conclusion.

Thanks for sharing! My Crown Vic had the air bags for the suspension leak air so they got replaced which was easy.

On the other hand I don’t think people would have bought them enough to continue. Sad what happened to the Continental. Lincoln put a lot of effort in it.

@ 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.

I bought a 2007 Townie and got rid of it before 40 000 miles. Always in for repairs. Major engine repairs. Got a really bad one I guess. 😢😮

These cars was once a secret bargain. Then KZbinrs ruined it. Got my 03 LTC in mint condition in 2019 for 4k. Just 5 years later the same condition car goes for $8k to $20k!

I got my 07 in 2012 with 16k miles and it was not cheap back then but way worth the money. I think you can still find one for a good price but with inflation everything go much more expensive.

Toyotas and Hondas are not as reliable as they once were, Honda especially has had some very bad transmission problems. I will stick with the panther platform, I also would not be adverse to buying a Buick Lesaber or Park Avenue with the 3800 v6 motor, they get a little better mileage, also extremely bulletproof.

Still less problems than most vehicles these days, I haven’t had any rust problems, in my town cars are outside in the weather all year around. Luckily, I haven’t had any problem with blend doors, I’m sure I will have an intake problem in the future but that’s cheap to fix, I also don’t consider them pigs, but to each his own I guess.

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 ?
@EnthusiastCarHangar
@EnthusiastCarHangar 14 күн бұрын
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.
