Used Mercury Grand Marquis for Sale in Alexandria, VA

The Mercury Grand Marquis is a great family car to get around town in with its plentiful compartment space. Shocks and struts are very smooth and bumps are basically no problem. Rims come with the Standard Mercury Logo on all four of them, and the tires are a standard 17 inches usually rated for about 100 miles per an hour or so. The engine is amazing as all 1997 Grand Marquis come standard with a three-liter v8, which makes getting up to speed no problem, though the vehicle is certainly not a sports car. The sound system is great, and the car is very dependable and never breaks.

My 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis was one of the smoothest rides I've ever owned, but its age was starting to show. While it had power seats, a digital display, and JBL speakers, the gas mileage and the upkeep were just too much to handle, and I had to let it go. If I had the chance to purchase another one with low mileage, I'd go for it, but I would be wary of aging parts. I have to say, though, that I was glad to have a luxury car like this despite its age. Every time I slid into the leather seats, I felt like I was king of the road. I'm a big fan of the Ford Panther platform, and this car evoked the feelings of the North American land yachts of the '60s and '70s. Only the finest Canadian engineering went into this car. The trunk could fit just about anything and then some, and the 4.6L engine could haul any package. The stock speaker system was actually surprising for the time. JBL audio could play any song and make it sound rich and full. I put an aftermarket head unit into the car, and the stock amp worked great. I would recommend this car to someone willing to put the time and effort into the upkeep.
