Great First car

The 2003 Grand Marquis is my first car I have owned. I can honestly say that it is a phenomenal car. It is quite comfortable and, to quote one of my friends, "god xxxx that car hauls' xxx".

Ford never should have stopped production!

For many years I have purchased Crown Vics and Mercury Grand Marquis. The Mercury Grand Marquis is a step up in quiet comfortable ride and interior quality. On the surface, both the Ford and Merc look very similar, but there is noticeable difference on the road. Most recent trip to California in the Merc gave us 25MPG at 65 to 75 miles per hour. Just a suggestion, buy only the Crown Vic or Mercury 2003 or above. Cars 2002 and older have an inferior plastic intake manifold that is prone to failure at about 100,000 miles. About a $1,200+ repair. The 2003 and above plastic manifold has been aluminum reinforced. Too bad Ford has discontinued both the Ford Crown Victoria and the Mercury Grand Marquis. They are missed by many loyal customers.

Grand Marquis Ultimate Edition

The car is very comfortable and dependable. It seats 6 people with no problem. The ride is very smooth and the body is very solid unlike the new cars that all are made with some sort of plastic.

I Hate To Sell It, BUT....

I bought mine in Jan 2017 to do airport runs to & from via Uber drive. Huge trunk, FLOATS down the highway. Uber in Phila. has a 15 year rule. The only knock I can have on this car was the gas mileage.

Love my merc.

Have 93k on it. Only problem is the terrible window motors ther put in them. Have replaced 3 and fourth is acting up. Wife hates it, she calls it battle star galactica. Great road cruiser, it is silver so some think I am a cop and pullover for me to pass. The dog is allowed in it and loves it. Great car.
