I’m 18 and I’m proud to have a 2000 marquis LS as my first and only car. 235hp V8 cruises like a boat on calm water. Huger interior with the leather bench seats fits all my friends comfortably. Weeks upon weeks of being out every night with them. Damn good room for me and my girlfriend after everyone else has been dropped off. Had the best summer of my life with that car I love it to death. I always wanted an old P71 interceptor throughout high school and this turned out to be all that and more and I wasn’t even expecting it. My mom bought it for $700 from my brother in law for a graduation/birthday gift and I’m beyond grateful. I plan on keeping this thing forever just to restore it when I’m older to have a future classic of my own from my day. Beautiful car with the best memories I ever made.

The LSE wasn’t badged and just said LS on the trunk plate. Soon as I saw the Shifter in the console I knew !!!

That Mercury needs control arm bushings. They are both prone to that though. Actually all Ford vehicles are. Unfortunately, that's the trade off having that smooth and soft Ford ride quality. I've had a 2000 Crown Vic P71 Interceptor and I currently have a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. You're not wrong! Hands down, the P71 is the better performance machine. I miss mine. But hands down, the Mercury Grand Marquis is one of the smoothest, nicest riding cruisers I've ever driven. At the end of the day, I'd much rather have a suped up Mercury. I loved having a police car. I loved every bit of it except getting stuck behind somebody who thinks you're a police officer, and I hated how basic the interior was. But, if you're willing to drop a few grand into serious performance mods, the Mercury is the way to go!

I just inherited my mother's 2008 Grand Marquis LS. First thing I did was tint the windows, next will be a double din stereo monitor so I can hook up a rear camera, then I might upgrade the wheels . I'm about function over style so I'm still considering then I'll probably give the muffler a growl and at anoint I would love to boost performance. Since I'm in California and I'm good for 2 years on smog, any suggestions what I should do to it? I've heard a p70 air intake if I can find one is a good place to start. The a k&n filter, and there was a fuel line piece i seen that are always bad on these engines and just replacing that alone would add 10 to 15 miles to the tank. Any thoughts? How do those window trim inserts look? They're $109 i think i saw and they just fit over the windows, like accents, I forget the name

The most luxurious Crown Victoria was the rare 1992 Crown Victoria Touring Sedan which in 1992 had a base price of S23,999. It had leather and cloth seating surfaces, auto climate control, dual power seats with power recliners, performance handling package with the 4.6 liter dual exhaust, automatic level control and cast aluminum wheels, anti lock brakes with traction assist, am/fm Stereo with cassette deck. Major options included a premium audio system, Insta clear windhield, 12 disc CD changer mounted in the trunk and full leather seating surfaces. Fully optioned it would cost about $28,700. A factory power sunroof was unavailable on Crown Vicks until the 2003 model year.

Your Chrysler chasise, was also used by Dodge and Plymouth in their respected police packages here in North America... 318 is not much a performance package, but a built up 360 will give you a neat sleeper.

On all grand Marquis you can convert them to look like crown vics just need Vic front and back bumpers/Vic headlights and side markers/the plastic frame part that holds the headlights and grille oh need a Vic grille to and a CV reverse light panel there any Marquis converted to Vic but on the 98-02 models gotta get front side fenders so that the side markers will fit.

If I'm not mistaken, the panels line up, it's the newer recessed window controls that are different, and need to be wired. There's a writeup on CrownVic.net where somebody did just that, said it was a PITA

I brought a 03' Merc because rhe old couple took care of it. I can spend more money on mods that will improve the looks and performance. True the Crown Vic P71 can outperform the Grand Marquis but buying one means fixing the wear and tear first. Winner: Mercury Grand Marquis!

I drove Taxi for 35 years we used both Crown Vics and Grand Marquis . Begining with 92's thru and including 2011's . The P71's were used but not that often , Gas mileage was the biggest factor , the bucket seats weren't as comfortable either . It seamed that the merc's were more plush and comfortable than the Ford's even if the Ford's were not P71's . I had a 07 P71 as a personal car and now a 96 and 08 Grand Marquis . There much more comfortable , but Iam 70 and a Great Grandfather .
