Up for auction is a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with just 101k miles on it. This Grand Marquis is in great running and driving condition, it was bought from an elderly gentleman, for a spare vehicle, but it's just not needed at this time. The Grand Marquis is cousins with the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car...both of which are known to last into the 400k-500k mile range being used as Taxi's and Limo's. You don't normally see the Mercury's with that kind of mileage simply because they are too expensive for Taxi companies to buy compared to the Crown Vic , but nice enough to be used in Limo services like you see the Town Car used for. Under the skin, the engine and transmissions...literally everything...is identical. What that means to a used car buyer is that the Mercury Grand Marquis is quite possibly the absolute best value in a used car...period. How many new cars can you buy and expect to get 300k miles out of without any major issues? ...not many. You can pick up a used Grand Marquis with mileage in the low 100's knowing that the car has another 300k miles in it to give. These cars are the bargain of the century. Anyway, I would rate the exterior of this Grand Marquis to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. As you can see, this is a good looking car. It is finished in white with white interior. As with any older vehicle, the finish isn't perfect but shows very well for its age. There are no major scratches, scrapes or other noteworthy damage to report. The hood, doors and trunk all open and close easily. I do not see any body rust. All of the glass and lenses are in good condition. The factory alloy wheels show well all around. Please take your time and check out each of the photos to see how clean this Mercury is. I would also rate the interior of this Grand Marquis to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. The carpets show well for their age. The seats are in excellent condition for their age and are very comfortable. Both front seats are power operated. The power windows, locks, seats and mirrors all work properly. The stereo is original and sounds great. The climate control system appears to be working properly. The trunk is spacious and clean. Again, please take your time and look at each of the pictures to see how clean this Mercury is. Mechanically, this car is tight, the 4.6L V8 starts easily and runs smoothly. There are no leaks and the engine does not smoke. Her road manners are excellent. The suspension feels great. The steering and brakes feel good, too. The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure at all times. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly through all gears. Out on the highway, she drives nice and straight with absolutely no complaints. 18mpg combined city/highway, we got 26 mpg highway on a trip. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
