Pros:
  • Last of the full-size, rear-drive, road hogs. It also packs a lot of bang for the buck, including a V8 engine and extensive standard equipment list.

  • 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.

    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.

    I like driving the car. Its a smooth ride but packs enough power to make a jump off the line. Im not saying its a racing car, but for a passanger car its a nice car overall. I put a 1000W system in it. i got 2 12" p1 subs and a 8" bazooka tube. This is with 4 new speakers and a Sony faceplate. If youre buying this car, you really shouldnt have many improvements in mind. This is a smooth car and great for drives anywhere. I put in a system becuase its what I love and Im looking to put on 20" rims if itll hold them and chrome most of it out.

    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.

  • Bought mine new -now have 145,000 miles - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    Mine has been a great vehicle. The original Eagle GT tires were very rough ride when they got some miles on them . Went to Goodyear assurance tires and improved the ride tremendously. The early depreciation has been made up by the longevity. Also, change transmission fluid and clean fuel system if yours becomes sluggish.

  • The Last of the Tanks - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    This is not your "Grandfathers" Mercury anymore. Rear Wheel drive, V-8 power, this is the last true "American Car." From the ride to the engine, I love everything about my car. It has the comfort of driving a sofa, and I can keep up to a Mustang with ease. You want a great value? This car is for you.

  • Love "Da" Power - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    I"ve had my Marquis for a month now. I travel everyday from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale up I 95, I dont suffer from back aches anymore. I use to drive a Kia Sportage. Thought I was saving Gas money, with the G-Marquis I have not notice any difference in spending.I consume the same 1/2 of 1/4 tank, same as with the Kia. Love the power and sense of safety. What a car, if I change it, it will be for a recent model. No more tojos for me American all the way.

  • My 98 Merc. Marquis - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    This is an all white car very comfortable to drive and ride in. No collision history with the exception of a wrinkled left edge of the bumper which caught on the edge of the garage door while exiting. The bumper was replaced. The car has 101,000 miles on the odometer. It is on its second set of tires which are about ready to be replaced and probably will need new brakes within the next 5000 miles. Out side of these two items the car is in excellent condition. The interior is blue fabric. The car does not require additional oil between changes.

  • Gulf Coast Edition - 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis
    By -

    Historically, I have been a Lincoln TC man, but this Grand Marquis was so nice...! It looked like any car only a year or two new. 99% of the buttons in the interior looked as though they had never been pushed. Yes a 78 year old lady had owned it since new and had always garaged it and never smoked in. I bought it for my wife and she loves it (its red, LOL). Had to restuff the driver seat cushion & put shocks around. In another 1500 mi,Castrol Syntec Oil will get put in. Great for 11 years old. No odd noises, doesnt smoke or rattle & everything works. Have all books and records also,and something you never seem to get...2 keys and 2 remotes. Might install a oem cd player. Nice
