1993 4.6L Mercury Grand Marquis. Don't look at this post if you don't understand what conditions these cars are usually in. 90% of them are beat to shit. I've personally owned 2 crown vics and 2 grand marquis. I can tell you every problem these cars could and would have, and its not much. Best condition 20 year old grand marquis on the market.
Where do I start? This car is unbelievable. BRAND NEW TOYO TIRES!!!!!! The frame is black. Black as in not a spot of rust. Exhaust isn't even rusty, cats aren't even rusty. When I say black frame I mean southern car, garage kept. The body has little dots of rust under the car. little tiny beginner rust for a 20 year old car. Not flaking rust, not even remotely close. Immaculate. The car has 83,000 miles. Transmission is FLAWLESS and overdrive WORKS. The engine is a 4.6L V8 with an aluminum intake manifold (not plastic like 1995+ and newer models!! Which causes them to leak coolant into the engine!!) perfect radiator, perfect steering, perfect suspension, brake lines are NOT RUSTED! Fuel lines are NOT RUSTED!! underbody is UNBELIEVABLE. comes with alloy rims and DIGITAL DASH! Gets 20mpg! AC is ICE COLD. Heat is HOT. POWER EVERYTHING.
This car was owned by an older lady for 53,000 miles, and then a very up-tight rich fellow I bought it from who kept records on the entire car with a binder. His 22 year old son drove the car. All he did was change the alternator and he has receipts for every oil change.
Now what's wrong with it?
1) Vacuum line leak. Very normal for crown vics and grand marquis. Easy fix, couple hours of labor. Doesn't affect ANYTHING. You can hear it when you open the hood ONLY.
2) Drivers seat is torn. The kid drove with his shirt off and stretched and tore the leather. $150-200 for a seat on Ebay. Easy fix, unbolt, unplug, remove, plug it in and rebolt. 1 hour of labor. Seat is full power.
3) Driver side AND passenger window motors bad. $50 fix. 1 hour of labor. Glass is still perfect. Again, a very common problem for any car 20 years old.
4) Small paint scrapes on rear and front bumper.
That's all that's wrong. Not a dent in the body, 83,000 original miles. If you want to put 100,000+ miles on a car for cheap, with low maintenance, a car that will ALWAYS get you through the winter, a car that will ALWAYS start, always get you to your destination and never leave you stranded. A 4.6L is Fords equivalent of the Chevy 5.7L, and it gets 10mpg better gas mileage. Grand Marquis and Crown Victorias are very high, if not TOP on the list of the most reliable cars out on the market. I'm not asking much, but I'm not letting this go for a steal. All it needs is a seat and 2 window motors. These cars hold their value very well for their age if you want to buy it for your kid to drive, or want a car for the time-being and want to sell it later.
Happy bidding, this car is a gem.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
