1985 Mercury Marquis Brougham review from North America
"A great, inexpensive older car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission was rebuilt at 124,000 miles.
My exhaust system, including catalytic converter has been replaced.
My starter was replaced twice.
My alternator and radiator have also been replaced.
Most recently, the car was involved in an accident. It sustained front-end damage, but still runs and drives perfectly.
General comments?
This car is incredibly durable and rugged.
It just doesn't know when to quit.
It is the best used car I ever bought for $1,800.
Good gas mileage on long trips--22 mpg.
