What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis
"great car"
"bought car off my dad it had 100000 miles .I drove it for another 5 years putting another 169000 miles on it . Put it to rest after hitting a deer still running great with 269011 miles."
"Awesome car, sad I sold it :-("
"This is an amazing most awesome car. Gave us steady 16 mpg. The comfort and ride is incredible. I bought it on April 1995 and sold it on May 2011. It was the dumbest thing I ever did. In all this time my transmission went out once, EGR had to replaced once, water pump once. Window elevators went out often. Radio would automatically shut off if it overheated do to loud volume. Stock audio was very sharp and nice. I carried 6 passengers no problem. Speed is beyond insane, could go easily 125 mph no problem, you don't feel the speed at all. I have had over 40 vehicles and this one by far out did everyone of them. I would buy another one again. It was always dependable, reliable. Body is very strong and will totally save your life in an accident. It doesn't have the garbage materials that they build cars with now days. It has a HUGE trunk were we can fit prety much anything."
"1996 Grand Marquis LS with 28,000 Original Miles"
"What a car. I found my 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis LS totally loaded top of the line model with digital dash, air suspension, etc. Bought it from a 95 year old lady and it has always been garaged, with 28,000 original miles. Even had original tires. Bought it and took it to Ford Dealer and had new tires, belts and all new fluids. Mechanics were amazed at the condition, like showroom, inside and out. Full leather, etc, looks like it's never been sat in. Runs like a dream, floats down the road, and gas mileage is surprisingly not bad at all, especially on the highway. Amazing quality, amazing car."
