This Is Why You Should Buy a Mercury Grand Marquis!

[@XJJesse]

What’s up everyone! My brother and I have been really happy with the Grand Marquis. Even though it's not a fastest or luxurious car, it's been a reliable vehicle. 💯 It doesn't need much maintenance and has treating us very well. Thanks for watching !

[@CRACKANOODLE_RECORDS]

Hey bro you know that I saved myself a $150 bucks also from the shoe doc

[@cynthiadudal9301]

I am a proud owner of a 2008 GMM I had 60 thousand dollar jeeps, trucks, I currently own a 2016 Chevy Malibu. This GMM beats any new car all day. I love my boat it floats and I am safe in it.

[@diamondavid]

I have a Immaculate 2008 Grand LS , and you stated it's not FAST LMAO! as you know 4.6 eats most cars on the Highway I can. Also burns the tires off at take off if i wanted. Even 2023 cars SUV has Tried , and look look at them in the Mirrors LOL

[@AudaciousAce1989]

Im a 20 year old who wants one because I think an old armored couch with a v8 strapped to it and rear wheel drive is awesome! I like the look of the grand marquis too

[@WFO.]

I currently own a ‘03 MGM LS. Bought it with 48k and now have 60k in 14 months. Love these cars. Search and find one owned by a one owner elderly person. Their generation really took care of these cars. God bless them. You won’t regret owning one of these perfect cars! Btw..I added KYB shocks and struts along with Moog sway bars. Highly recommend do that when you get one. Rides perfectly with no body roll at all.

[@klwthe3rd]

One of the last Panther platform Ford's made. The Grand Marquis was marketed more towards the older crowd but there is no doubt it was a well loved and made car.

[@grovermayersjr8025]

I'm not a grandpa. I'm a 60 plus uncle who drives a 2005 Grand Marquis LS Premium. It's has almost every option. Including five passenger leather seating with center console and floor shifter and a power factory moonroof. No digital instrument cluster. It has a factory dual exhaust version of the 4.6L Modular overhead cam V8 239hp at 287 pound feet of torque. The only modification I want to do is install Flowmaster FX mufflers, cat back, with resonators and 4 inch Marauder tips out the back. She's going to sound sweet. States like South Carolina allows modified exhaust systems as long as they're not too loud. Although some vehicles are quite loud. It out lived my Dad. Probably going to outlive me. Take good care of a Panther Platform Ford and they will literally run forever. Oh, I usually run the Interstate at 75mph. Middle lane, all the way.

Hey Jesse, wanted to super thank you for all the work you do! My 2003 MGM Ultimate is my first car, and I’ve been able to do a bunch of work on it thanks to your videos. Still have some stuff to do - replace the driver door actuator (because it isn’t locking the door on the key fob nor the door lock), and the multi-function switch (my windshield wipers + wiper fluid randomly turn on and off, now they just straight up dont work). Another problem I’ve been having is my digidash, clock and radio will start clicking, dimming, and turning off and on. My headlights are working fine tho. I’m trying to look online for some help and they say it might be the LCM or the alternator? Can’t find anything concrete. What do you think? Any kind of help would be appreciated man, and if I got anything wrong on what I should fix please let me know. Keep making banger and hilarious content compa 🤙 Big ups from a fellow paisa

[@sebastianwilder5511]

Just found out my steering wheel controls don’t work either (no working cruise control, radio volume, ac fan/temp, or horn), which is a first. High beams only work when I pull the switch towards me. Brakes, headlights, turn signals, and emergency lights work though. Went to O’Reilly’s and they tested my alternator and said it was good. My battery is pretty new and I got that tested a few months ago when these problems first started, so I don’t think its that either. Cant make heads or tails out of this. Help porfas 😭

[@XJJesse]

Thanks for the support Sebastian! It sounds like you're having some electrical problems with your Grand Marquis. While it's difficult to say FOR SURE what's going on with your car, the symptoms you're mentioned could be related to a faulty LCM (light control module) Or alternator But You already got the alternator tested so that can't be. The LCM is responsible for controlling multiple electrical components including the dash lights and radio. clicking, dimming, from the dash is a sign of a bad LCM Or weak alternator. I'd suggest replacing the LCM I have a video on that too on my "Grand Marquis" Playlist. Also join a few Grand Marquis Facebook groups and share what's going on with your car. So you can get multiple opinions from other grand marquis enthusiast. There might be someone that has gone to the same issue and resolved it. Last thing to do (hope it doesn't get to this cus I know it can be expensive) would be taking your car to an automotive electrical specialist for them to recommend the necessary repairs. I appreciate your "super Thanks" my brother thanks for the support. I wish you the best with these repair. *Fist bump from your friendly KZbinr homie mechanic 🖤

[@s.m.5483]

I'm having similar issues, electrical, keep blowing the same fuse, digital dash always acting up say I'm going 0 mph on a regular basis. Auto lamps not working, red flasher light goes on every time I put on my turn signals, interior dome light doesn't go on when I open the door, no rear defrost, smh. Did u figure yours out? Any good FB MGM groups? Love the panther platform, this is my 3rd one. Great depen dable, comfortable cars !

I bought my 2003 Grand Marquis LS 2 years ago now. But with the price of gas being so high I've been considering selling it off for an econobox. But even then sellers aren't trustworthy plus some of the newer cars aren't as reliable as my car. So I've come up with a roadmap for improving my car: brakes, tires, and darker and newer window tint. If I were to buy a new car today I'll miss the V8 it has.

Can you remove the chrome strip on the door panels and leave the painted part of the door protection molding as most have the plastic chrome cracks and deteriorates but the rest of the molding that's painted the color of the car is fine. Can I just pull the plastic stuff off and leave the painted molding or do you have to do it the two separate pieces because the prom plastic molding that there is pretty much the same stop the timer corners on the Packers

They're in perfect visual condition but the sun most have dried the plastic out and within 1 month they all just cracked and fell out😮😢 2 of the panels i was able to glue back together but the other 2 need complete replacing The valve cover gaskets need changing. Need a video on this job.... Just changed the plugs but engine still isn't running smooth like it did. I guess the ignition coils need changing too. The rear passenger side window will only go down halfway???? What do you think about that issue??? Both the battery and brake indication light go on but the brake isn't engaged and the battery is new???? HELP 😮 And last (and most expensive) the AC actuator switch went about 2 months.. Just get that thumping sound inside the dash. No AC. I live in South Florida. Gotta have AC. Need some pointers on replacing that thing,! Very expensive fix.😢

[@warriorDad]

Nice video. I've owned three of these. First a silver '05 Ultimate Edition, one-owner, meticulous ally maintained, 278,000 miles, cloth interior, digital dash, no kids, smoke or pets. The tranny went out after only owning it a month and six days. Had to drive it 25 mph in REVERSE two miles back to the house to avoid a tow truck! Then a silver '03 Ultimate Edition with 225,000 and leather. Kids messed up the interior, but switched all the seats except driver seat from the '05. '03 has a factory clock in the dash panel and a silver V8 on the engine cover. Smelled the tranny fluid after owning it a few weeks and decided to sell it. Then found a white '04 with only 135,000 miles. Tan leather, no digital dash, and thankfully, no air suspension. Very happy with it. Change oil every 3000 with Lucas oil stabilizer. It'll turn 141,000 in a couple days. Peace out.

Hah, these were pretty famous even in the Gulf, fuel was very inexpensive here, so everyone used to keep these around.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

There’s a few things worth mentioning about these old tanks . Most P71 police interceptors are a bargain basement crown Vic with very few interior nices, they’re cloth or vinyl seats on vinyl floors cause they were intended to be hosed out. Most P71s have lived very hard lives basically running 24/7 365 so they’re kind of worn out. The performance myth keeps going but no they weren’t that fast even in police guise. At best they had 250 horsepower to move nearly 5,000 pounds, they were built for durability and longevity. Around 2000ish to 03ish I think ford started using mustang cylinder heads on the 4.6 across the range which is when the power jumped to around 220 to 240 on the single exhaust civilian cars. The space is there to fit a dual exhaust system as well which will certainly help with power. The Grand Marquis is the better buy these days as many of the last cars built in 2010 and 2011 are still available having been owned by elderly people or their kids. 100,000 miles is nothing to these big fords as drivetrains are very understressed. They don’t rev very high or run very hard which contributes to the longevity. As several police fleets still use them parts are still readily accessible too. Properly undercoated with around 50 to 100k and one should last you a decade or more easily. The best thing you’ll get here is no car payments. I would say that the next year and a half will be the time to buy. You’ll still have a chance at finding a low mileage example. It might be 20 years old but it will run and if you take care of it for quite a while
