Yes! I bought my Crown Vic because of this thread. Now recommend the Buick LeSabre too.

A Crown Vic thread - now it feels like home!

I was driving a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis when I stumbled upon FW. After that car eventually died, I bought a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis - it’s bullet-proof reliable and cheap to maintain/repair.
When I first saw all the threads and comments about Crown Vic’s/Merc GM’s on FW, I immediate thought…“My people!!”

i bought the 04 Mercury marauder new in Aug of 04. Baby the car. has 24k on it. has every option available at that time including embossed leather seats. (embossed with the mercury god on top of front seatback). Even has stainless steel tire nuts (the part you unscrew to add air). Super fast from 20mph. Speedometer goes to 140. Has about 40 coats of wax and it’s garaged kept. Folks in parking lots admire it all the time and think it’s brand new. First time mercury put bucket seats in a gMarquis. Only bad thing: A/C control door went bad (no a/c) last summer, was 375.00 repair. Plus the tires (goodrich) got dry rot on the sides. So I am on my 3rd set. Dry rot happens just by age.

@barrytuneup got a pic?

@barrytuneup Congrats on your Grand Marquis. You’ll get a little longer age out of your tires if they are occasionally used. A mile or two every couple of weeks is better than none. Also, if you ever have to leave it parked outside for a long period, put some tire covers on them.

@honkinggoose i do drive it more now during the warm weather. I keep in in a garage during the snow and ice. (upstate NY) only bad thing 1)uses premium gas 2) none!! Will work on some pics over the weekend.

I get tires with a temperature rating of A. B or C temperature rated tires crack or rot a couple years earlier.

Yikes! NY and premium gas - deadly combo … guess it could be Cali or Canada.
With that much weight on the tires, the roads probably don’t feel quite so bad.
