This Grand Marquis was owned by my Dad he gave it to me three years ago. Dad purchased this vehicle new in December of 1986 from Sentry lincoln/Mercury in Medford, MA and it has never seen sand or salt roads. This vehicle has 108K original miles. The vehicles has no rust, nor has it ever been in an accident. The car is extremely clean inside and out, including the underside, but the paint has faded with age. In the last two years since I have own the car I have done many mechanical updates. New tires, shocks, exhaust, battery , AC compressor,  and heater core, rear brakes, rear drums and wheel cylinders ,master cylinder. In November of 2012 I replaced the water pump and while everything was apart I replaced the timing change cover, power steering pump, alternator, clutch fan, radiator, all hoses and belts, thermostat  and anti freeze, new spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. Also at the same time replaced front brakes, rotors and wheel bearings. This car is mechanically sound and needs nothing. Starts and drives very well. Steering and suspension are solid.

Options: Equipped with 5.0 liter fuel injected engine with over drive transmission, power windows and door locks, power side mirrors, power driver and passenger front seats, reclining front seats, rear window defroster, climate control, date/time clock, cruise control, AM/FM cassette radio, tilt steering wheel, corning lights, power truck release, power antenna, although this is currently not working. I do have the part to repair it. Spare tire new was purchased when tires were replaced and has never been used. Vehicle is also been a smoke free vehicle.

The negatives. Small impact dent on driver side rear door from a basketball hit it does not show well in the pictures it is near the top where the pin stripe is. Small dent in roof near the top of rear window, this was done by a transport company when my Dad would ship the car to Florida. Passenger front door needs new power door lock actuator.  Rear passenger  door window motor runs but the window does not go up or down. 

Everything else works perfectly including the clock which also provides the date. We have a service journal on the car since the day it was purchased with everything that was ever done with dates and mileage recorded, oil changed religiously at 3 thousand miles or less since new.

The vehicle is purchased as is where is and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ship the vehicle if that is your preference. Bank transfer prior to pick up or cash at time of pick up is acceptable.

Thanks for looking .

    Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

    Wed, 28 Dec 2011

    'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
    The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

    Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?

    Fri, Oct 23 2015

    In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?

    NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

    Tue, Apr 7 2015

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
