Cranston, Rhode Island, United States

2000 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS HPP 3.55 This is likely one of the nicest police handling package sedans you will find. Make no mistake, no bad guys have ever ridden in this one, but it would hold its own in a high speed ‘interceptor chase!
Up for sale is my 2000 GRAND MARQUIS LS HPP. It has 30,000 original pampered miles. That’s a little more than 2,000 miles a year!
This baby’s been babied, baby!
It has NEVER been rained on, in the rain or snow. A $29,000 car new. Undercarriage is in like new condition. This car has been a lifelong “garage queen” which was originally ordered by an older gentleman (retired law enforcement guy) who checked off virtually every option. Car is the extremely desirable color of Silver Frost, a spectacular color for this body style. Paint is in phenomenal shape except for a couple of small “grandpa rash” scratches on the front bumper cover. Featuring the bulletproof 4.6L V-8 used in everything from Lincoln Town Cars to Mustang GT’s, this beauty is LOADED with Options: · LS luxury model · Digital Dash Option · Trip Computer Feature (miles to empty, e.g.) · Leather Seats · Leather Steering Wheel · Stereo Cassette · Power Trunk · Upgraded Automatic Climate Control · Power Windows · Rear Defrost · Vanity Mirrors · Dual Power Mirrors · Dual Reclining Power Comfort Seats (It’s like driving your living room!) · Traction Control · Handling Package · Performance Package · 3.55 Rear End · Dual Exhaust (factory!) · Convenience Light Package · Electronic Cruise Control · Electronic Compass Rear View Mirror · Heavy Duty suspension · Heavy Duty Sway Bars · Heavy Duty Rear Air Suspension · Front and Rear ceiling mounted spot lights · Front Dual Arm Rests · Rear Arm Rest · Power Trunk Release · Traction Control Bypass Switch
Its engine compartment is immaculate as you can see. All service records since new, original window sticker, bill of sale, ALL PAPERWORK including the receipt for the FOUR GRAND NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE SPORT 225 60 16 ALL SEASON RADIALS mounted on the flawless 16 x 8 “lacy” wheels. Leather, carpets, headliner, trunk in fantastic condition - Always garaged in climate controlled garage. No sun fading, no rust. NEVER IN RAIN, SNOW, SALT. 18 MPG city, 24 MPG highway. This vehicle needs absolutely nothing but a new owner. It comes with all of the manuals, keys, e.g. This vehicle is garaged in Rhode Island and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, expressed or implied. I am a private owner, not a dealer. Florida registration and I have clear title in my name.
This is one of the best cars ever made and they routinely go 300,000 miles with their bulletproof reliability. You would be hard pressed to find one as nice as this one and in my opinion, this series is nicer looking than the goofy 2003 and after models.
I require a nonrefundable deposit of $1000 immediately via PayPal at the conclusion of the auction, with the balance due in the form of a bank check in five business days. For HALF the price of a tired Accord or Camry, this car is a bargain which will only provide enjoyment and reliable, safe, rugged dependability in the years to come. These Ford and Mercury “panther” sedans are no longer made and few were built with these options. Needs nothing, just serviced – all fluids changed, four new tires, alignment, even a full tank of gas! It’s been waxed and detailed and looks new.
No joyrides. I will consider test drives scheduled at mutually convenient times only for bidders who've met reserve. I am not a dealer and my time is tight.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles
Sun, Jul 9 2023When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
