But the power leather seats are still very nice, with power back lumbars too.

First off, the first person to notice whats wrong with it gets a free E-Cookie! But anyway, its a 95 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. It pretty much has all the options, including air ride suspension. It has a 4.6L SOHC V8, which looks bigger than the 5.2L V8 in the Durango you see in the pics. The spedometer was broken when I got it but I fixed it now, it reads 134K miles, not sure how acurate that is really. Not like it matters, these are very reliable cars(same as the Crown Victoria, or a typical USA police car) and I got the car for $1200 from my good neighbors. The air suspension is awesome, this car is so smooth. The engine is very torquey too, even though I don't think this car has the performance package(220HP in the PP vs. the regular 190HP). This car COASTS at highway speed. Don't ask about the gas mileage, I haven't driven it alot yet but I'm sure it does pretty good coasting down the highway.

The back seats for me, look extremely uncomfertable!

The front seasts looks small, but comfy :D

But, why plate on the back but not on the front? :p

[macd79]

1200$ for this kind of car oO You'll never see that in Europe ^^

Pretty nice car for a 14 years old :)

[scaleopdriver]

Its not required to have a front plate in the USA; I think there is a law called "backing up" which means its illegal to reverse into a parking space as the cops can't then see your number plate?!?!?!

 

Maybe someone from the USA could confirm that, or correct me!!

 

GC :D

I park backwards in the parking spot at work just about everyday. Its not required in Georgia but some states do require it.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments. And yea for $1200, its a NICE car. Since no one noticed...

 

The pass. side mirror is taped on. The windshield wipers stay up like that when they're off. They work, but they stop up instead of down. I've seen a few Panther bodies around here like that, im sure its not a hard fix at all. I need to find a good pather body forum to sign up on. Pull-a-part has CHEAP parts, and I want to swap in a DOHC 4.6 in the future with J-moded transmission.

Also the lights are on inside the doors when they are closed LOL.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Nice Mercury you have there.

 

Rear seats looks comfy.

Because the other door is open. How do you think he took the photo?

Fail cake for you. :cheeky:

 

I'd rather have the Ranger any day though, lol.

god i like that mercury lol

[CobraDBlade]

I used to work at a dealership that had a few of these for long distance trips to pick up cars from other dealerships. they regularly made 22-25 mpg on the highway. nice, reliable, smooooooooooth running car.

[Guest RB26DETT]

epic bump

[CarboyZR1]

Mercury Grand Marquis FTW lol

 

I'm too spoiled and the lowest class I can go to is a Lincoln Navigator, and the 2003-present actually has a pretty good ride. It's so smooth, you don't feel the bumps literally and the third row seats actually has leg room unlike other SUV's because it uses an independent rear suspension.

Urm, CobraDBlade, why did you revived a 2 months old thread...:oook:

[Jacob]

Because its an awesome car lol!

[StrickenHAWK?]

Urm, CobraDBlade, why did you revived a 2 months old thread...:oook:

 

TBH, I didn't realize it was a 2 month old thread when I posted. I was just cruising around the forums and must have not seen the date.
