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.

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!

Throttle sensor needed replaced because my friend and I thought that the idle could be adjusted like a carburetor... because the fuel injector manifold happens to look quite like a caburetor. brakes failed about six months into the car, but that was because I was being a jackass and taking out trash cans, and one got under my wheel and sliced the line. Coolant hoses needed replaced... they were still the stock hoses when I got it! It needed a new battery off the bat, because the one in there couldn't hold a charge worth a damn, water pump needed to be replaced after about five months.

This car had the potential to become a speed yacht, if I would have had any money to trick it out. The power steering leaked a little bit, but the steering was so smooth, I could drive it with one finger. And the ladies liked how comfortable it was. This car just handled like a dream, and was fun to take on long distance trips, I went to Cleveland to see Modest Mouse live, (i live in Livonia, MI) and the AC in the car chilled me and my friends to the bone even though it was 90-something outside. good times, let me tell ya.

The throttle body needed to be replaced.

General Comments:

Overall, the Grand Marquis is a reliable car.

I love the style of the body. It is very well built and a great solid design.

It is definitely built for comfort with excellent plush seats, and lots of room for those of us who are 6ft or taller. It runs great most of the time with of course a couple of exceptions. My only complaint is that the fuel-injection is a gas guzzler. It could get better gas mileage.

Faults:

Nothing major yet. This car does have a stalling problem. I'm thinking it is the TFI module.

General Comments:

Smooth ride for an 84'.

Not a racing car, but sure has a lot of power.

Expensive on gas, but certainly worth it.

This car is cheap on parts.

General Comments:

Hard to find modifications for this great car. I want headers.

This car has 107,000 miles and was not kept outside in the weather. Beside normal maintenance I just had the driver side power window motor replaced. Not so good on gas but it's a 5.0 L. I will buy another one maybe in the year 2000.
