Overview & Reviews

The Marquis receives additional safety features, including an emergency trunk release, child seat-anchor brackets and Mercury's Belt Minder system. The interior gets a new trim color, Dark Charcoal. One new exterior color will be offered, Tropic Green. The handling package's rear-axle ratio changes from 3.27 to 3.55. The Grand Marquis Limited will be offered later in the 2000 model year.

• Classic American V8 and rear-drive layout, considerable interior space, lots of luxury for a reasonable price.

• Lack of refinement, squishy ride unless the optional handling package is ordered.

  Ill buy another one. - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By KXBill - November 22 - 4:03 pm

  Trouble free vehicle. Quite, simi-firm ride. Room for six big adults in back and two in front. Small person can fit in the front middle with ease. Love the large trunk. If I hold the spped around 60, I have made 28 mpg.

  follow-up - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By vanillaice - November 9 - 9:50 am

  This car is so good, its like not owning a Ford. After 70,000 miles, exactly zero dollars and zero cents in unscheduled maintenance. Incredible value especially as a used car. High altitude seems to hurt the performance inordinately, but maybe its just me. A Toyota should be so reliable. Very large trunk is a little oddly shaped. This was done to fix exploding gas tank. Still, I wish they would do another work-around to bring back true "three body trunk" capability. Easily the best kept secret in the auto world.

  Really Nice Car - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Jbushnell515 - October 4 - 10:40 am

  I bought this car with 73,500 miles on it and I would have to say, it runs really good. I did some preventative maintence on it when I first got it and after that, the car runs like a dream. I get about 23 mpg average just running around town. I would have to say that that is extremely well for a V8 engine.

  Declining American Original - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By FlyinHawaiian - April 11 - 7:43 pm

  After having my offer turned down on a 98 Cadillac Deville dElegance, I setteled for this 2000 Grand Marquis LS. This car is loaded with most all options available: dual power seats, dark, charcoal leather, 6-CD changer in the trunk, aluminum wheels, climate controlled a/c, etc... I read in Edmunds.com that a loaded-up Grand Marquis is as good as a Lincoln Town Car, but for many thousands less. I agree!

  Mercury Marquis is a legend - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By Tom Macedo - January 13 - 5:50 am

  We bought this car as a used vehicle for my wife and a family car as we have grandsons. It was a hertz rental with 22,000 miles on it. This vehicle has performed extremely well, with super handling and comfort and most of all it is a safe vehicle for my wife in town and on the highway. Power is great and gas mpg is good. As a race car driver in the past, I really like rear wheel drive and this car has met all my expectations!

  2000 Grand Marquis - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By RVolley - December 1 - 10:00 am

  The only big complaint I have about the car is, the brakes keep squeeking and the rims keep clicking. I am told the brakes squeek because the have steel in them and the rims click because of a design flaw. My dealership told me this. Other than that it is a great car. Alot of car for the money.

  Its an okay car - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By loveswedcars25 - November 17 - 11:58 pm

  My family has had this for 12 years. I have to say, Im surprised it has lasted this long with us. The engine is great. Very powerful and quick to take off. Will definitely spin a pair of tires off. But, the transmission was terrible from the start, and the interior sizing is terrible for a car of its size. Its like they crammed to much sound canceling material into it before they thought about how they were going to fit the seats into it with enough room for the passengers to be comfortable in it. Air is great, I like the fact that it is a climate control system. Radio is terrible. And the rearview mirror is placed entirely to low. I wouldnt recommend this car to really anyone.

  Bought used, this car is a bargain - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By KitGerhart - June 19 - 11:40 am

  While decidedly "old tech," the Grand Marquis is comfortable, performs adequately well, and gets better gas mileage than all but the smallest SUVs. The car has good crash test results, and mine, bought used, has been completely reliable. While this car doesnt handle like a sports car, with the handling package, mine handles well for such a large, low- tech car.

  By Jon - April 8 - 1:27 am

  This is a great car, comfortable, great ride for road trips, reliable as long as you perform regular maintenance as with any car. I get 31 MPG on HWY and 22 to 25 MPG city with the 302 V8,

  Head out on the highway! - 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
  By rsu11 - February 17 - 5:26 am

  Drove it from south Florida to North Carolina and averaged 29 mpg around 65 mph! Outstanding! A big comfortable highway cruiser for our occasional road trips. Ive since added dual exhaust, rear air shocks and replaced those awful plastic wheel covers with the cast aluminum laced wheels. Will also have to replace the original intake manifold (with plastic coolant passages) before our next trip. Only design flaws are radio and heater controls not in easy reach, wide floor sill under doors makes exiting the car a little clumsy. Power windows are getting slow, common for Fords.
