1996 Mercury Grand Marquis GS review from North America
"Cucumber on wheels that can outperform your more expensive mid size 6 or 4 cylinders with ease"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic Intake manifold cracked at 90K.
$565.00
Total brake job at 100K
475.00
EdelBrock Shock upgrade at 110K.(shocks worn out)
530.00
That's it.
General comments?
Great Car for the money. Smooth powerful acceleration and merging is a piece of cake. Edelbrocks stiffen up the otherwise squishy ride on the pre 98 models.
Hey, if you are a van owner like I was and are sick and tired of people cutting you off get a GM or a C Vic. Can't go wrong. The only complaint I have is it is a chore parking in the ever shrinking mall lots, but that's it.
Will add a CD player and amp with some tint. What the heck.
