Sorry I’m late. When you told the story of the old man who owned the car and passed away…well I’m here because my grandpa also passed and I got his 2000 grand marquis. He also like your story, kept it in amazing condition and only ever put 36k miles on it. You basically explained my situation perfectly. And I gotta say, it’s a family treasure and amazing ride. RIP Papa, I’m going to take care of her.

shout out to the first owner. rest in peace man

Some of the features like the metal seatbelts, ashtrays for every passenger, huge trunk with no passthrough, hidden windshield wipers, and leaned back seating, are just features of old cars. The more you drive 80s and 90s cars, the more you realize how much of a hold out to the old school the Panthers really were. GM let it go with the Caprice, but the Vic was still making decent fleet sales in 2011.They were the last ones with hood and trunk proportions similar to the passenger compartment, the last "car that looks like a car" for a lot of people. Great channel!

3rd gen did get more modern looking seat belt buckles for 2001 and 2002. What you have there in that 2000 is the same seat belt buckle that dates back to the 70's from FoMoCo. Personally my favorite for some reason. :-)

Great review. Really enjoy the reviews that you do. Can’t wait for the next

Never write on reviews but you got this love how you talk about the car A to Z and it’s all truth and facts I have one I love mines!

Still driving my 2000 Grand Marquis LS. 140,000 miles and going strong. I really enjoyed the video.

I bought a baby blue 99 Grand Marquis LS in mint condition when I started college in the US. It was imported into NY State from Florida by a dealership that specialized in cars from non-Salt Belt states. I was thoroughly impressed with this large saloon (and quite an upgrade from the Citroen Berlingo that I learnt to drive in!). Greetings from South Africa.

Because your review...now I have my 2000 Grand Marquis 👍 thx again

bought mine(2002) in 2016 with 150k miles for 1200$cdn(850US).l use to driving small cars and others in past and had a hard time adjusting to size. NOW its my favourite and so SMOOTH! no mechanical problems except replace coils on plugs. showed it to my father and he was impressed and said it will be considered a classic in future. great video. can't beat the value on this car and better than buying a new car. next one will be another from arizona(rust free) even if the value is excessive.

Yes these cars are a nice place to be :). I have a 97 g-marquis ls imo it’s THE best looking one of them ALL not much chrome at all no chrome over the wheel wells no extra badges and the rear tail lights are just imo the best looking of the 90’s cars. We just got a 96 p71 so depending on my mood is what I drive. But my Gmarquis is a serious system car with two custom made 90 pound each subwoofers with the bigger Alt and two XSpower d7500 batts just so day the bare min of my set up. I want 4 more panthers 1 town car another p71 and another Gmarquis. A panther addict I know :)

I bought a '91 G-Marquis (my favorite body style) in 2005 for $3000 with 40K. I sold it in 2013 for $1850 and bought a 2001 G-Marquis for $3500 with 38K, which has 108K now (I plan to put another 100K on it if I live that long). So I've been driving 17 years for a grand total sales price of $4650. Of course I've put in head gasket, heater core, alternator; the usual with these cars. But you get a whole lot of car for not a lot of money with these guys. The rear air shocks went out at about 95K and I put in the shocks/springs kit for $400. Works great, don't hesitate if you have one to put in the rear springs. I didn't have to, but put in new struts in the front and it drove like a brand-new car I was so impressed.

Cool brings back memories of my Grand Marquis in the past .

Good review..my MGM has been one of the best cars I ever owned, amazing reliability

As much my mom used and abused her Grand Marquis, she loved it. She drove it for 15 years and it’s high miles. She really cared about it, it just got beat up over the years.

Am buying one...Thanks for great review

Inherited a 2000 in 2020, 69,000 miles. Hate that there is no indicator on the dash when the cruise control is set. Replaced all wear items, hoses, belts, antifreeze, oil/filter, transmission fluid/filter/pan with a drain plug, rear end fluid, 13 year old tires( 5,000 miles on them), put cut explorer console in for cup holders that Hold cups and bottles without blocking temp controls, rear console with cupholders out of a Lincoln, aluminum driveshaft , police dual exhaust and sway bars, . shocks, fuel pump/filter, A-arms, ball joints, idler arm bushings, front end rubber deteriorated even during the almost 20 years in the garage. Gets 20mpg at 60, 26 at 75mph with air on. Can let you sleep if not careful.

Somehow, i ended up on this video. Great job man, great video. I have decided to subscribe.

No. Back then it was called a cigarette lighter. I have an 03 Town Car. It really nothing more than a fancy Grand Marquis. You are right - they might be the best road trip car ever made. At least for the driver.

My dad still has his mercury grand marquis in perfect condition eventhough he has owned it for 10 years

Nice video! I for sure enjoy my 2007 Town Car that I feature in my videos.

I have an 01 grand marquis. Only mod is put cup holders from a 4th gen. Much needed upgrade, also you can disable the seatbelt chime

I have an 02 and the buckles are the plastic ones with the red buttons. My mom has a second gen with a digital gauge cluster and we carried a lawnmower in a box in that trunk. She really used and abused her panther car, but she did service it regularly. Edit: I forgot a word

Looks good 🔥

like this vehicle, solid review! the power on the 4.6 for those watching is difficult to discern...wish you did a sitting take off... no tire peel, just acceleration and comment driving up hill for miles...

I have the same year these cars are Awesome 👍

Just purchased a 2000 with 110000 cant wait

Perfect car for traveling. Owned a 2 door 82 Grand Marquis once.

love this review just like your previous 4th gen grand marquis. Does seat belt signal beeps that fast? It does sound like locked incoming missile. lol

Nice video. Thumbs up. FYI the front of a 4th gen looks different than your photo. The headlights do not meet the grill on 08 to 11.

SWEET. THANK YOU MR. MUENIEKS.

As someone from the uk i am currently saving towards getting one of these bad boys but with our little roads its gonna be hilarious

Felt what you said there at the end. Want one bad preferably the marauder

I have an '01!! Love it!

In the owners manual it tells how to turn the seat belt reminder sound off. I like my 2001 MGM with the Ultimate pkg with HPP option.

Got one it takes me there. It is very clean too. I don't buy new cars anymore, I just find well cared for used cars that have just as much to offer for less than what the original owner paid for it in taxes Alone.😎 My last car was a Prius I GAVE it away, days later the hybrid battery took a shit. Green tech auto$2100 all new cells . Last time I did it was 5 years ago $2,600. Price went down battery quality up. I just don't drive enough to warrant owning a hybrid. They need to be driven I can't give it the mileage it requires. Buying my 2000 GRAND MARQUIS $1900 is going to save money in the long run. It cost around$320 to get a trailer hitch installed by u-haul My driver window doesn't open the locksame door doesn't move when you use the remote. Has something off with steering I drive so little I'll think about fixing it in about a year. Not that important to me I never DRIVE through and own a motorcycle, I Take the car if I just got a shower or it's raining. I come and go all day on the bike cost hardly any fuel.

I just bought a 2001 LS. 202k and runs great. I needed a car asap and for $2,000 it's worth it, maybe could have gotten it for less.

10:54 My parents used to have a '95 Chevy Corsica and the wipers did the same thing.

appreciate the backseat review.

terrific review of my car; more on the engine.

I have a 2003 grandmarquis with 207miles and it rides still brand new I had it 11years now

As always, fantastic video my dude, gotta love the kinda of people that just care about shit, especially these days

I enjoyed your review. I own a 2000 MGM with only 100K on it. Very smooth and comfy to drive. You didn't tell us if you had the GS or the LS model but since you had hubcaps and no CD player, I suspect you had the GS. I have the LS model but I still only have the tape deck. I do have alloy wheels though. I wouldin't go as far as to say that people who have crappy abused cars live in houses about to fall down but its a funny point. I am meticulous about caring for my own car, and I love having the satisfaction of doing repairs and preventive maintenance on it myself.

You can also tilt the whole seat. Just picked up a 98

My 02 has 210k and still going strong.

Muchas gracias por la información. Bendiciones. Thanks for the info. God bless you.

bought a 2000 grand marquis at 56,677 miles from an old couple , only thing is interior problems like holes in seat , paint chips ect drives brand new! finna do whole tune up , yall think that’s good ?

i drove 11 years a 1993 just a great car with a very good en smooth engine.

One of the most reliable cars ever made.

Ford definitely makes commercial vehicles with different parts or something because we have some transit vans that we beat the fuck up and they have 250,000 miles without any major issues. I’m pretty sure that they probably use the same concept when they build, or when they used to build, these vehicles. Obviously they still use some plastic parts like the intake manifold and stuff but there must be something else that they do to make these last an extra 200,000 miles, if properly cared for. Up until last week I had a 2004 Lincoln LS V8… and after car shopping for a week with depressing options with $15K in hand. I just found a 1999 mercury grand Marquis with 76,000 miles! I’m actually pretty excited now when car shopping wasn’t even on my agenda 10 days ago. My Lincoln had 140k miles. It had its issues mounting, but also had a lot sentimental value, but I know my dad would’ve loved this car even more!

Having driven this car made me realize the superiority of American motor car a lot

The story about the orig. owners logbook and he would record weather he used the AC, I had a friend that I would drive to work who always complained that I did not use the AC and I told him there was a 25 cent air conditioning fee and he said here is a dollar just turn it on!

I want one of these but with beige leather seats and beige vinyl roof

i have a 2000 mercury grand marquis and it has digital display where it just says what speed your going does that mean i have the forth gen marquis (i'm not the most knowledgeable about cars.)

"designed in the 90's". The engine was, but the rest of the car was 1978.

Hey guys! I'm going to but 2000 Mercury. The one which I want to buy has electrical speedometer and leather interior. Is it a some kind of more luxury version? I can't find any info about that. Thanks in advance for answers.

While my 2000 MGM isn't my favorite car - the '87 Mercury Cougar 5.0 I once enjoyed still holds that honor - I'm going to hold on to this comfortable, quiet, competent Real American Roadburner as long as I can. My next trip will be Oregon to Michigan, and I can't think of a car if rather drive there.

You deserve more subscribers and views

Disabled the unbuckled chime on mine. One of the first things I did

I just bought a 2001 grand marquis ls for $3,000 with 112 miles mint condition. Hopefully it last for me.

Older GM’s did that as well they had the hideaway wipers.

I want to get a cassette to aux but know nothing about it. What are you suggestions

great review, no I want one :D

I just realize that the meter of digital and analog can make difference

Cassette to aux im going to ask about that i need something like that. I just use the cig lighter power port with a usb plug in to xharge my Bluetooth speaker and phone. I like that im able to xharge my phon without the car being started and can sit with lights off while car is started. American luxury especial by Ford is great wish theyd do it like this again these panthers definitely get respect from mustangs, and even mopars. I love driving a V8.

Get your hands on a 97 Town Car. Same engine, similar platform, even smoother ride.

Got a 98 LS myself, not bad vehicles but u do gotta be weary of the electrical wiring

Great review, you could do this professional in a heartbeat.

Lol the uncle and desserts comment is perfect

Imagine just seeing this guy sitting in the back seat talking to himself

My 96 year old (!) neighbor has this car. She asked me to clean the trunk out for her. I took everything out, but can't figure out where to put the jack. I googled it; some said behind the passenger quarter panel if there is a bracket, but her car has no bracket. The placard in the car shows it under the spare tire, but the jack is too long for that (it's the OEM jack). Where is the jack in yours? Thanks.

Legit thought it was Phil Leotardo's car at first

The unbuckle seatbelt chime is more annoying on a Jeep Liberty

These things are huge. You could put 10 bodies in the trunk. Like driving a fucking boat

100 bottles of sodas!? What party was he going to!?

Incoming missiles 😂can confirm, the audio in this video doesn't do it justice, it really is uncomfortably loud.

I have a 2001 MGM and it has a power recliner for a drivers seat. can't stand a car with tiny seats.

i d prefer the grand marquis 99 00 01 and 02, the best gen merc,

*INCOMING TACTICAL MISSLES*

It nearly drives itself doesn't it...

Ironically, it’s not fake wood..

my dad has had these my entire life, and always forgot to put his seat belt on, and it never bothered him😂

The Ferrari red color is so unsuitable it becomes cool....

You're going to want the back seat seat belt buckles to be metal if you are involved in a serious accident and you are a backseat passenger. You're not going to want a plastic belt buckle holding you in.

اليمين جايه حادث جهة اليسار🤣

cringe

Virgin

I got an 03 with 82k

2003 is better
