This Grand Marquis GS has been driven very conservatively by last 2 owners (since it had 48K). Previous owner was 75 and I am 61. One of the nicest points about this car, other than the replaced motor, is the great gas mileage. On road trips I can consistently get 600 miles to the tank. This is much better than the official MPG for this car which is 23 HWY. I think it is very possible that I get the great mpg is the reman motor from Jasper Engines, plus the fact I keep it on a steady cruise of 65 or less. If you have a heavy foot then you won't get the same results. Everything works on this car. All lights, electrics (cruise, electric windows, blinkers, door locks, radio, windshield wipers, power drivers seat, power door locks, gauges, etc.) The only thing that is a problem is the rear right window is off its track so I just don't use it. Transmission shifts smooth. Auto Check is clean except for an accident when the car was 2 years old. Not sure what that was but according to Auto Check it was a non-collision event. Interior is in beautiful condition with pristine headliner. Body has the usual nicks and marks for a vehicle this age. No rust, car originated in Florida, then Midwest and has been located in Nevada since 2009. Front tires have maybe 4500 miles left (so i was told). Rear tires have plenty of tread. There was a 10 slot cd deck in the trunk but it stopped working so i removed it. It still has the Sony control mounted on the dash and is wired for any replacement you might want to install. Will consider delivering within reasonable distance if my expenses are paid. I am semi-retired so have the time.
