  BEST AMERICAN car you can buy! - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By John - May 27 - 5:30 pm

  Bought this car in Jan, Wanted a Crown Vic. but couldnt find any.. No-one was selling them.. Settled for this.. basically the same car.. More Luxury than I Needed. but thats just another plus to this car.. Got it with 39,000 miles on it. had it for almost 10 months. and now have 54,000 on it.. Ive own Foreign Hondas, volkswagons, Mitshubshis. Nothing compares to this car.. its just built to LAST. i can tell. I beat on this car. and it takes anything i can give it.. And the Gas mileage isnt bad either for a 3800 pound car.. 21.5 mpg on average! If youre thinking about one. BUY IT! dont hesitate. there arent many of them left! enjoy them while you still can..

  1998 Grand Marquis - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jeff - April 4 - 7:23 pm

  Bought this car for my wife with 87k. It is very nice to drive. Smooth and quiet. The best combined MPG to date is 21.72 . Since then I changed out the single exhaust to duals using Walker Quiet Flow mufflers and a Walker H- pipe. Doing this cut almost .6 sec off the quarter mile time. Dont know on the MPGs yet. I cant run the fuel out.LOL.

  Super Cruiser - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By TimRoss - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I work about 90 miles out of town and commute twice or more per week. The driving is mostly freeway / highway and speeds average 75 mph. This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned! I have had Jaguars, Lincolns, Volvo and other foreign makes. I will most likely replace this with another as close as I can find. Good fuel economy too!

  Built to last - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Tony - November 13 - 5:23 pm

  Bought this car with 85,000. I use it for commuting back and forth to work, approximately 25 miles each way. I now have 118000 miles on it and I can honestly say it is the most comfortable, best handling and quite car I have ever owned. Mileage is around 22 mpg in mixed traffic. Very adaquate power and have had no mechanical problems beyond normal wear. I know this has the old man stigma but for the price this is the best car you can buy.

  After the hard work, a smooth ride home - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By AJ - November 12 - 5:30 am

  I bought a second-hand car after graduation for office commuting. I grew up playing with Matchbox cars and I never imagined I would be driving a rear wheel drive large American sedan one day. Nearly three years and 28,000 miles later, I am still in love with my car. Aside from regular maintenance and a few niggles (door rattle), it has not cost me anything to maintain. I fill it, shut it, and forget it. My friends and relatives were apprehensive when I chose it over a fuel efficient Japanese car, but now all of them enjoy riding in it. The car is very reliable. It is also fun to drive. Considering its size, it maintains traction in high-speed turns and it is nimble while parking

  Grand Marquis LS 1998 - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis

  I wouldnt even consider buying another type car. This is the "poormans" Towncar, yet it delivers equal comfort and quietness with additional handling capabilities.

  Momma Luvs her Marquis - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By stgcret - March 29 - 10:50 pm

  Drove by the dealership (closed). Real nice Gulf Coast Edition, Red Toredor with Gray Leather. Looked brand new inside/out. Have owned 14 Lincolns but this one my wife really liked, so I bought it for $5400. Hard to say anything bad about an 11 year old car that still shines like new in/out. Had all books/records and owned by a 78 yo Lady. Looks like it never left a garage. Drives very close to a Lincoln Towncar.

  This is the most reliable American car I have ever owned and Iam 60 years old. My Grand Marquis is a very quiet comfortible car. Ilove this car and when I buy another car you can be sure it will be another Grand Marquis.
