  96 grand marquis - 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By George - September 21 - 6:43 pm

  I bought my grand marquis used with about 87,000 miles for $2000. I replace the wiper blades, one rim with curb damage, and one missing side light, and changed the oil. It drove great till 117,000 miles. Then the plastic intake manifold cracked, leaking out the coolant. You can read more about this by googling intake manifolds, grand marquis/crown victorias. My engine must of over heated and warped or cracked a head. I dont blame my car, I blame Ford. I bought a used 4.6 engine with 118,000 on it and using info I found on the internet and my library, I switched engines. I have no experience doing this and it took me about 50 hours total. I now have 125,000 miles and it runs great.

  Lost water pump at 98000. Intake manifold at 110000. Ford recalled intakes on police and livery use models only. Seats hard on bottom for long drives. Lost sensor at exhaust manifold a 63000. Lost sensor at catalytic 111000. Spark plug wires wear prematurely. Otherwise, A great car.

  A good car to take a long trip in, easy on your back and your seat too.

  Great buy. Cheap insurance for a V8 - 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By JayJay - February 25 - 12:53 pm

  Not a fast car, Im 20 and like to speed. Great big boat and roomy except the rear back leg room. The car really needs bigger rims 17 inches to help with the handling. The car came with a crappy sound system so I put a new head unit, speakers, and amp. Never had any problems with it. Im allways putting the gas to the floor. Driving it as crazy as I do, I still get 15 mpgs. I put 20,000 miles on it in a year and still running great!

  GREAT VAULE AND LOTS OF POWER AND ROOM - 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By MERC MAN - September 21 - 10:00 am

  I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS I WAS LOOKING AT A NEW MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE CARS THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT, YOU KNOW THE LITTLE OLD LADY WHO DROVE IT TO CHURCH EACH SUNDAY THAN KEPT IN IN THE GARAGE. IT WAS NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH, IT ONLY HAD 36M MILES AND WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE. I PUT ALOT OF MILES EACH YEAR AND IT MADE SENSE TO ME TO PRUCHASE THIS CAR VS. A NEW ONE DUE TO THE HIT YOU TAKE ON DEPRECIATION. AFTER THE FIRST 30 DAYS I AM VERY SATISFIED.
