Selling my 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Well actually I gave this to my wife, but we both drive it.

Car runs excellent, and looks fabulous as well.

Was used in a Jacksonville Jaguars parade as well, 
and even has the special parade lighting for that still installed. 
You will see it too!

I am the original owner, and kept up always with any maintenance.

This is a unique car, in that the gas mileage was seriously under rated.
Gets more like 30MPG. This is very rare!

You can check postings on this at MSN auto dated around 2000-2008.

Almost as good as a Honda Civic actually!

Inside is all leather, and looks almost as good as new too.
It is dark green during the day, and appears fluorescent purple black at night.
With the tinted glass, makes it very sleek looking at night.

I always remove the hub caps during winter. And they are very nice looking still, and sparkle well.

Has a spare tire still factory installed and never used.

Mileage is all highway from Illinois to Florida. I made so many trips while I was working both states

I even have the original window sticker for it, and all paperwork.

Never needed anything, and always ready to drive.
Stored in Winters.

I am moving out of the state of Illinois to the SW, and can't brink all the cars with me.

I will be taking my truck, or else I would still keep this one.

Now it your time to enjoy many more miles with this car.
My reserve is well below low.
As I have to move, and can't take it with in a moving truck already hauling another in tow.

If there was anything wrong with this car that I know of, would be for some reason the cruise control stopped working. 
And my wife came home one day from shopping with some of the paint marks on the front bumper as in pictures.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Please look at shipping costs if you plan on shipping.
This item is also listed in local ads, and may even be sold first there.
Feel free to come and test drive, and give me a call to look at it.
This car definately grabs attention.
Sleek and stylish.
Like no other.

I recently even added the fender guards.
I liked they way they look.
As some pictures in this are 2 months old, and some just taken a few days ago.

If it needs anything, would be next year or 2 for new tires coming up.
This car is almost mint!

Of any accident I am aware of was in Las Vegas 6 years.
As the car grill was hit in a parking lot.
And my repair friend did even better for me, and replaced the entire front, since it had so many chips 
from road drives in the past.

This car truly looks new.
Almost like factory new today!

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan

Sat, Aug 13 2022

As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
