Old people bought these. All the options, only driven to church every Sunday, maintained by the book, kept spotlessly clean. There are bargains to be had when you can find them.
@@bwofficial1776 I passed on an 05 with 25k miles 2 years ago. Dealer kept playing games with the price. The seats weren't in great shape, the leather was cracked.
My grandfather had an 02 but traded it in 2006 for a fairly new white 04 grand marquis park lane edition with a full black landau roof, when it had 40k miles. He passed away a few years ago so my grandmother took it over for a bit until she stopped driving. She had her license but never owned a car herself. It was my grandfathers last car and my grandmothers first car. It sat for a couple years while i looked after it. When i got my license i made sure to let her know how much i loved the car. When she thought about selling it, i was the first person she came to. It currently sits at 107,058 and its staying with me for good.
Grandpa rode in style with this car. Pure comfort, and classic luxury. The Panther platform were the last of it's kind. They don't make them like her anymore!! A True beauty. Guess the demographics who would buy these kinds of vehicles are sadly disappearing. These cars will definitely shoot up in value in the next upcoming years and will become classic collectible cars.
Digital gauges were optional on both Mercury Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria, so there are plenty of Grand Marquises w/o digital gauges. Speaking of Crown Vic, I think they only had digital gauges in 1998-2002. They’re very rare on Vics though.
I occasionally drive a 98 Vic with the same exact digital gauges as this, but I'm not really a fan. Miles to empty is nice but there's no tachometer which is disappointing
2004 is said to be the best year for the Panther. The frame and suspension was modernized in 2003, the engines received a power bump for 2004, and in 2005 it went to throttle by wire and some have said it isn't as easy to tune. I still want one of these, I'd probably buy some senior citizen's only driven on Sunday Grand Marquis for maximum comfort and selectively fit Crown Vic P71 and aftermarket performance bits. A CVPI is a little basic inside. This car (like many Panthers) was probably a senior's car, just a big comfortable cruiser with all the options. There are still bargains to be had for clean low-milage examples. Really the only thing that can kill these is rust. It's an F-150 with a car body. As long as the mechanicals are maintained these just don't wear out, and if they do parts are everywhere and cheap. The paint quality and rustproofing is poor though, I saw a little rust peeking through.
I just sold my 2004 Grand Marquis. I've had a total of four panthers. Two of which were 2011s (last year for panthers in the US) and by far the 2004 was my favorite. So easy to customize. I made a nice profit on it but I miss it already. Current have only a 2011 Crown Victoria.
I have to agree. With 2004 you get the rack and pinion steering, updated suspension/frame, and it's still got a traditional throttle linkage. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it also got the Marauder intake and PI heads & manifold as well.
@@redey1290 The base Grand Marquis didn't get upgrades like that. There was the old "Handling and Performance Package" that got some upgrades but "regular" GS and LS models did not.
@@deaf2819 There's a certain appreciation I have for the old school cluster. I put a lot of miles on my 04 before I sold it this last Feb. Approximately 30k miles in 2.5 years and I didn't experience anything "iffy" lol
I have 2 Grand Marquis. A 2006 model I bought in 2014, which now has 288K miles on it without any problems other than a bad alternator. I have been daily driving it, and it has been driven all over the country for the past 8 years. About a year ago, I bought a 2011 model, with only 27K miles on it, in like new condition. It will become the replacement for the 2006, and my last car. When/if it wears out, I will just replace the engine, transmission, and whatever is necessary to keep it going. I will keep the 2006 in secure storage as a spare should anything ever happen to the 2011. I plan on driving a Mercury Grand Marquis for the rest of my life. It has everything I want. V8 engine, rear wheel drive, solid rear axle, body on frame construction, real tires that actually have sidewalls, 4 wheel disc brakes, a super comfortable ride, plenty of power, it's big, and it looks like an actual car. I also have a 1964 Ford Fairlane 4 door, and when parked end to end, both have very similar proportions. They don't have that spaceship look or garbage technology that newer vehicles have. Mine gets an actual 30 mpg on the highway with the cruise control on. That from a 2 ton car with a V8. And it is built like a tank. I feel very safe in it. the front end on the 2003-2011 models is stronger than some trucks. I believe this is a car that would still sell very well if the 2011 model were brought back completely unchanged.
Awesome vid... My mom's used to do in home care... Every now and then I'd accompany her and I ended getting to drive the ladies grand marquis... It was olive colored but I remember being like I don't care if this is an old people car... Digital gauges? Air ride? Heated seats? I'm in lol
Great review. I've had my 04 Town Car coming up on 11 years. The absolute only mechanical issue I've had was replacing the intake (after 9 years of owning it) which is pretty common in these cars. Best car I've ever owned. The air bags are cracking but I'm not converting to springs! Will be replacing them with Arnott air bags soon.
All of those options were also available on a Crown Victoria. Digital dash, heated seats, adjustable pedals, Auto Climate control, Air Suspension, etc.... just much harder to find. But they're out there
Crown Vic owners always want these. And the Grand Marquis owners want Town Cars. Actually, the Grand Marquis is my favorite Panther, because I don't like the styling of the Town Car. Of course, the Marauder is my fav, but we have to be reasonable. Oh, and being a GM guy I naturally prefer the B bodies over these, but these are more reliable (even if it's not by much, cough cough LT1) The one thing about these: finding one that hasn't been donked is almost impossible here in Central MI. Very unfortunate.
I always thought the 2000s marquis had a nicer roof line and front end shape then the towncar of the same era. The tc was too rounded jelly bean like it did not blend the square/round styling as well as the marquis. Everybody goes nuts for the tc & vic the marquis is always ignored I've watched many reviews of towncars and crown vics were the reviewer will throw in a nasty dig about a grand marquis. The crown vic has almost taken on a mythical status in the panther world i always thought the marquis was nicer so did ford that's why mercury made it & it cost a little extra
This car is widely spread in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait So amazingly , On every residential street, you must spot at least two cars of grandmarquis or crown vic , It is very reliable works perfectly in our hot conditions , Easy to repair like toyota cars , and convenient to drive, for me i have 2006 grand marquis with about 183,000 mils on it And it's still my daily car.
The cup holders were designed for Fred and Ethel to put a small soft bottomed paper coffe cup in. Not todays giant aluminium save the planet water bottles or giant energy drink cans.
They are also American, and there are millions of them in existence, which means lots of cars and almost unlimited parts available for a very long time. They are also simple and easy to work on, so if something needs to be fixed, either the owner can do it, or any independent shop can do it, with no special tools or diagnostic equipment. Well maintained, the engine and transmission will last well past 300,000 miles. There are also a lot of things on them that can be rigged if necessary. The electric blend door actuator in the climate control system can be converted to manual, the rear air suspension can be converted to coil springs, and a whole lot of other things. A mechanically inclined person who is good at improvising can practically keep one going with duct tape and a pair of Vise Grips.
These cars in mint condition will be worth a lot more in the future, as they harder to come by. Tough, durable , comfortable and easy to fix- what a great car!
I'm an owner of a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Premium. With almost every option available that year. It doesn't have digital display. But, it does have front bucket seats, center console with floor shifter and power moonroof. I replaced the rear air suspension with a conventional rear suspension, because I don't like it. I love mine. It has just under 126,ooo miles on it. Panther cars are getting more and more difficult to find. Especially one in decent shape like mine. Considering the last ones were built 10 years ago. Fortunately, as you said parts for surviving Panthers are readily available. Great video!!
Rare color for panthers in general. Very clean car for the mileage. The cup holders in these are/were terrible. Always happy to see your love for the panthers!
My now twenty year old Starbucks cup fits nice and tight in the middle of the dashboard, between it and the windshield. It almost never budges. Love my blue murk. The cassette deck is also a bonus. I got to bring my tapes out of retirement, and they're practically giving those away these days too. The 2004 Mercury grand marquis is one of the best years.
Thanks I really enjoyed your video! I just picked up a 😮 one. I've been driving a Caravan, Pacifica and WinStar the past couple decades. now I got this Grand Marquis. It is really a nice smooth ride! No dents, just needs a little pain touch up and cleaning inside. I hope it's good to last a few years. 150,000 miles on it.
Just get a P74 Civilian Crown Vic. I have all of this except the digital dash & the air suspension was an option. Thank you old man that ordered this Vic before I got it.
I used to have a 2004 in that exact same color. Not the fastest car I ever owned...but super reliable, and built like a tank, Totalled it out when I hit a deer at 80mph. I miss that car.
Im 17 years old and let me tell you my dad has 2004 Grand Marquise ultimate edition like this video and I been driving so many cars but this car rides so smooth compare to all the cars I driven in
Ever since I was young I wanted one of the panther cars I bought my first grand marquis when I was 15 then I sold it to get one in better condition. Im currently 16 and saving to get another absolutely love these cars!!
The trunk on the 2004 is gigantic. It is deep but easy to access. The trunk is very well designed and accommodates a full size spare. A well engineered space that Compliments the car.
I love my ultimate edition, but the air suspension went early on. It was quite the expensive replacement, so I went with coil springs that have lasted >100,000 miles. Also, while the leather has the benefit of being easily cleaned, I do miss the plush cloth interior of my '93 Marquis.
I am heading out to look at one of these (same year) tonight, and it has 164K miles, like this one. They are an older couple they have owned it for years, and are asking $2,100. I'm taking this video as a sign to buy it!
Got a 92 and a 97 Grand Marquis. They a better looking than the Crown vic cousin but essentially the same car. Some bigger differences in the earlier models ( pre 95 models) with the intakes being all aluminum In those years vs the infamous plastic intake in the 96 to 11 year models
You do a nice job. I am looking at a 2004 Grand Marquis. Not the special edition. I wanted to see a review of the under the back seat storage compartment.
This grand marquis is fairly clean for the mileage and the crown Vic did have a digital cluster as an option after the 98’ refresh but very hard to find. My friend Kenny has a 02 crown Vic with the digital cluster and a leather interior
I have a beigh 04 grand marquis GS for $5000, All analog, no digital luxury. Recently installed an android stereo, and CB radio. Real comfortable and relaxing to drive.
for as much as I love my Ultimate edition, I'd looooove a base model, I set out to find one originally. Everything you need, nothing you don't, and you can easily add whatever it is you want. And I love the look of the hubcaps.
If you are getting your first car this is what you want. Just add a rear back up camera. And this is what you want. Plus you can always work on it very easy...
My goal is to find one of these next year. I drive a 2019 DGC and want a secondary car. So far it's gonna be this one vs a Camry or a 2002 to 2004 Nissan Altima at this point.
I would buy this over a crown vic PI but I don't dig the one wheel peal burnouts and that air suspension is super expensive and guaranteed to go out. Also I like running on e85 or at least having the option and later model Vic's got more hp out of the 4.6 too.
Ford/Mercury has used the Ride Engineered dash sticker on their cars since the 70's. I had one on the dash of my 1979 Fairmont and my Aunt's 1976 Granada. Just a sells gimmick.
Midnight blue may be rare but try finding one in Amazon Green and on top that, try finding one with a tan vinyl top with the Park Lane package. May not have been an optional color in 04 but it was an option in 2001. My car is an 01 with the Medium Parchment (tan) interior and Amazon Green exterior. It’s an LS Park Lane, so it has the vinyl top, the chrome wheel arcs, and chrome moldings going down the bottom of it.
I have a 2004 mercury grand marquis LS but mines isn't a ultimate edition but I love mines. I love how she runs I just need to change a few things and I'm good
Mgm’s are cheaper than p71’s. I think because of the perceived performance discrepancy and because admit it or not people want the police powers aka the crown Vic affect.
I got in a accident with my 05 marquis on a icy bridge. Going about 30 I smacked both sides of the bridge spun around and went off into a bunch of trees. Put her in reverse and drove to work. To call her a tank is a under statement
I got hit head on by 18 wheeler the rear ended by another car doing 60 mph it flipped me 10 times end over end broke both my legs couldn't walk so i drove myself to the hospital... What a beast
I owned a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis for 8 years and hated that car with a passion, over $8k in new parts and repairs in the last 2 years I owned it and by the time I got rid of it the motor was starting to give out at 170k miles (tons of blow-by and was burning oil like crazy) I would have had to have the top end of the engine rebuilt, and I'm actually quite happy it was given to me as I inherited it but never again will I own another Ford in my life after that, what's funny is that I bought a 2014 Mazda 3 Sport GT hatchback and never been happier with a car
My first car ever. So many fond memories. I loved that thing more than many people lol
That thing is beautiful. Super well kept for the mileage.

@Driver 637 Yup, and by then, drive by wire was a thing.
I have a 04 but can’t find digital cluster anywhere

How much did the air ride cost to get fixed?
@@chase3174 I think with labor, it would have been $1000 to replace with other air shocks. It was probably $400 to swap with springs (I think)

What a beautiful American car, it’s a shame Ford Australia never imported these beauties into Australia, I would have bought one.

Great content my dude! I wish you were in Canada, im sure we would be great friends:)
This grand marquis is fairly clean for the mileage and the crown Vic did have a digital cluster as an option after the 98’ refresh but very hard to find. My friend Kenny has a 02 crown Vic with the digital cluster and a leather interior

I have a beigh 04 grand marquis GS for $5000, All analog, no digital luxury. Recently installed an android stereo, and CB radio. Real comfortable and relaxing to drive.
for as much as I love my Ultimate edition, I'd looooove a base model, I set out to find one originally. Everything you need, nothing you don't, and you can easily add whatever it is you want. And I love the look of the hubcaps.
Although I have a 2012 Lexus ES, I really want a 2005+ Grand Marquis as a second car.
Love this I got a 2003
Yes! Looks like the most rarest blue on the MGMM❤
If you are getting your first car this is what you want. Just add a rear back up camera. And this is what you want. Plus you can always work on it very easy...
Nice Grand Marquis young man. 👍
Yo.
Nice review. Love these cars.
Last week I got a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis GS with 67.000 miles. It even has new tires.
I am already spoiled for typical cars.
Very cool!
Yo.
My goal is to find one of these next year. I drive a 2019 DGC and want a secondary car. So far it's gonna be this one vs a Camry or a 2002 to 2004 Nissan Altima at this point.
I got a 2005 LS almost as nice as this that I'm rebuilding, I really wanna cop one of these too now 😂😂
I would buy this over a crown vic PI but I don't dig the one wheel peal burnouts and that air suspension is super expensive and guaranteed to go out. Also I like running on e85 or at least having the option and later model Vic's got more hp out of the 4.6 too.
My 04 has 312,000 Mi on it and it still runs like it's new
Ford/Mercury has used the Ride Engineered dash sticker on their cars since the 70's. I had one on the dash of my 1979 Fairmont and my Aunt's 1976 Granada. Just a sells gimmick.
i was about to search the grand mercury than my youtube recommendation showed me that he reviewed the car all ready
What tires are these? Looking for white walls for my p71.
Thank you, great vid!
Look up portawall white walls, I have Pirelli P7s with the white wall attachment
@@BUSTA11 did you apply them yourself? Was it easy?
I am worried that I'll get one off center and have a wobbly white wall when moving.
@@irishkelly2062 I had a shop do it . Very difficult to do yourself
@@BUSTA11 that's what I was hoping to hear. I'll call for quotes tomorrow. I love ww tires on panthers.
Thanks, friend. Godspeed o7
Continantal have pin stripe whitewall tires.
I have them on my 06 merc...
حي هالزول والله ليتهم يرجعونه للسوق
Everytime I complain about the size and gas mileage of my mgm, I think about how little Ive had go wrong with that thing
Midnight blue may be rare but try finding one in Amazon Green and on top that, try finding one with a tan vinyl top with the Park Lane package. May not have been an optional color in 04 but it was an option in 2001. My car is an 01 with the Medium Parchment (tan) interior and Amazon Green exterior. It’s an LS Park Lane, so it has the vinyl top, the chrome wheel arcs, and chrome moldings going down the bottom of it.
I know where a green one is right now with 50k on it in mint condition. But...it's a GS with the cloth seats, if that matters to you.
Some Vics did get digital gauges ;)
Loving the blue.....
Great car from a time gone by. Nice review too!
Love the wheels n hubbs, tiers too🫶🏻
I have a 2004 mercury grand marquis LS but mines isn't a ultimate edition but I love mines. I love how she runs I just need to change a few things and I'm good
Somebody 5 speed swapped one of these and it popped up on craigslist a few years ago
I have the car that replaced the Panther platform cars. 2018 Ford Taurus.
the arms for the cupholder do open more you have to pull past that loose stage
Still have my 2010 Ultimate Edition with 230,000 miles. No AC but still daily driver.
So would this be a good first car I’m turning 16 and I think I found the one
Loved my 96' merc
Every old school cop who grew up in a crown vic is having a heart attack from the title alone.
Mgm’s are cheaper than p71’s. I think because of the perceived performance discrepancy and because admit it or not people want the police powers aka the crown Vic affect.
Yo.
@@PanzerPlatform 😀
I got in a accident with my 05 marquis on a icy bridge. Going about 30 I smacked both sides of the bridge spun around and went off into a bunch of trees. Put her in reverse and drove to work. To call her a tank is a under statement
I got hit head on by 18 wheeler the rear ended by another car doing 60 mph it flipped me 10 times end over end broke both my legs couldn't walk so i drove myself to the hospital... What a beast
@@ronpackman2266 Sounds like you’re a beast!
Why don't these have headrests on the back seats? Model is not that old and also somewhat luxurious not to include this oblivious safety feature
I owned a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis for 8 years and hated that car with a passion, over $8k in new parts and repairs in the last 2 years I owned it and by the time I got rid of it the motor was starting to give out at 170k miles (tons of blow-by and was burning oil like crazy) I would have had to have the top end of the engine rebuilt, and I'm actually quite happy it was given to me as I inherited it but never again will I own another Ford in my life after that, what's funny is that I bought a 2014 Mazda 3 Sport GT hatchback and never been happier with a car

I’m going to put the blame on the owner, not the car.
Need to do a 2005-2010 Chrysler 300c
