1981 Mercury Grand Marquis LX review from North America
"Soothing ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new coolant thermostat at about 60,000 km.
Needed new front brake pads at 110,000 km.
Apart from oil changes every 6 months and new tyres at 72,000 km, nothing else was done to the car.
General comments?
Spacious, comfortable, reliable and a pleasure to own.
