1984 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 5.0 Liter V8

Summary:

I love this car. I'll drive it until the day it stops running, then fix it and drive again

Faults:

The only things that have gone wrong are things that are to be expected of a car of this age. That being said, the water pump, radiator, heater core, and A/C compressor have all been replaced.

General Comments:

This is the most comfortable car I've ever been in. It's also one of the only cars that I actually fit in. (I'm 6ft2)

This car's got plenty of pep, and never leaves me stranded. If something ever happened to this car, I'd buy another one in a heart beat. But I'm never getting rid of it, so hopefully I'll never have to look for another car to buy ever again.

Glad to hear you enjoy the car. If you live where it snows, be sure to have the undercarriage oiled each year.

1984 Mercury Grand Marquis 5.0L V8

Summary:

Big, powerful, and elegant

Faults:

The day I first got the car, it needed an alternator badly. We had to jump it 3 times from my Tempo before it would even stay running, and it would stall again if nobody had their foot on the gas. It almost didn't get us back home.

One of the low beam headlights is out.

The driver's window and back left window don't work, and the small A-shaped window in front of the driver's window is off its hinge.

The engine acts like it wants to die when it's idling, but that may just be the throttle position sensor Other than that, the car is in great shape and runs beautifully.

General Comments:

All things considered, this is an amazing car. It's roomy, comfortable, powerful, and definitely big.

The big 302 5.0L V8 engine has lots of power to haul such a big heavy car, and sounds mean when you start it up.

The car itself looks and handles like a boat, and it is very elegant in style. Exactly what you would look for in an antique luxury sedan.

They really knew how to build cars back in 1984.

My grandparents had an '84 Grand Marquis that they bought new. They traded it for an '89 Town Car which was even nicer. I still remember riding in that Mercury with my grandma in the Winter and seeing a small car off the road. My grandma told me we didn't have to worry about that because we were in a big, heavy car. That is probably when my love for big cars began.

1984 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 302 V8

Summary:

A huge, very fun, and comfortable car (boat)

Faults:

When I purchased the car the brakes needed to be replaced.

The power steering hose had a small hole in it.

Leather seats were starting to tear.

General Comments:

Car has power everything: seats, mirrors, antenna, windows, locks.

Huge car at almost 18 feet long, and about 6 feet wide, but is very comfortable and spacious.

Doesn't get very good gas mileage, but rarely needs any expensive repairs.

Very easy to drive; feels like it is floating along the road.

Would be a great car to fix up with a nice paint job, nice wheels, and a good stereo.

The car is very safe due to the size, weight, and amount of car on all sides!

Your right about the car being safe.. I was T-boned in one and didn't get hurt.. Plus it was still drivable which was surprising since the other car had to be towed out.

I miss my 84 Grand Marquis LS more than any other car I ever owned. Though the 351 in it was harsh on gas, the acceleration, comfort and ride made it the best car I ever owned, and that's pretty good for a Ford.
