2003 Mercury Grand Marquis

Mercury Grand Marquis (2003)
for sale

Price: US $3,300.00

Description:

Up for sale is my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis/Marauder/P71 clone. I bought this car from the grandson of the original owner. Since a true Marauder was out of my budget and most P71s (police package Crown Victoria) are beat, I wanted the looks of one while having the comfort and reliability of a Grand Marquis. As everyone knows, the Panther platform was one of the best that ever rolled off a Ford Assembly line. Crown Vics, Town Cars, and the Grand Marquis are known for their extreme reliability and durability. This particular Mercury only has 109, 000 miles on it, and with normal maintenance, can easily reach 300k plus miles. It took first in class (full size Mercury), beating a Montego and another Grand Marquis, at the 2016 All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA. Some info on the car includes:
- 4.6L V8 2V, fuel injected 220hp
- 4 speed automatic with overdrive
- Newer parts include: spark plugs, alternator, serpentine belt, battery, headlight switch, Lighting Control Module (Ford replaced under extended warranty 15yr/250k miles), 4 newer Blizzak snow tires on powdercoated original steel wheels (one winter, 5k miles on them), cat- back Flowmaster single exhaust, PowerStop front slotted and drilled rotors with pads, rear rotors and pads, cone air filter, upper and lower steering shafts, power window switch panel
- Go Rhino police push bar
- PA inspected and emissions, stickers 10/17
- Factory 10 disc CD changer in the trunk
- Marauder parts include: Spoiler, grille, tail lights, head lights, turn signals, door moldings
- Marauder wheels with 4 new Goodyear Eagle Sport tires can be purchased separately for $500 extra, a screaming deal seeing the wheels alone sell for around a grand on eBay
- Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor rear bumper and rear trunk panel
- Phillips Blue Vision headlights (comparable to Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs)
- Fog lights
- Custom front bumper ‘rhino lip’
- Keyless entry system
- Cruise control
- A/C blows cold, heat blows hot
- Heated power mirrors
- Traction control
- Power adjustable pedals
- Power driver seat w/ power lumbar
- 6 passenger
- AM/FM/Cassette
- Full size spare tire

- Never been smoked in, no pets either
- No rips or tears on the seats anywhere
- 2 sets of keys with remotes, and 1 valet key
- All owner’s manuals and books, as well as the factory keyless code are in the glove box
This is probably one of the nicest Grand Marquis you will find that has been driven, but is very well pampered. It is a 14 year old car with just over 100k miles, so it does have very slight wear, but is in overall great shape. Interior is near perfect, the only issue is the original driver side floor mat has a wear spot where the original owner’s dress shoe wore away the carpet on the mat (Foose mats not included). The driver side has the common rust starting on the top lip of the fender on the wheelwell, but is less than the size of your pinky fingernail. I really hate to part ways with this car since it has been great to me and never left me stranded, even when the temperature was well below zero. But, I recently purchased a truck off eBay and with some home improvement projects coming up, I needed something with a bed. CB radio and XM satellite radio is not included with the purchase.
This Grand Marquis comes with a CLEAN PA title. Everything stated above is to the best of my knowledge. During my time with the car I have had zero issues, and it would fire right up regardless of the temperature outside. Even fired right up back in January when it was a whopping -13 degrees outside!! It will start right up, drive straight, stop on a dime, and handle like a dream. I have included the pictures of the car when it was at the 2016 All Ford Nationals in Carlisle with the Marauder wheels and before the push bar was added.
More pictures can be taken upon request, and the vehicle can be inspected/ looked over by any potential buyer or third party inspector. The car is located in Allison Park, PA right off the PA Turnpike exit 39. I have the car listed locally too and I have the right to remove the ad if the cars sells here. As per eBay rules, I am unable to remove an ad with 12 hours or less time remaining with active bidding, so if the vehicle sells locally under that time frame I will immediately contact the highest bidder to inform them of the situation and the steps I’ll need to take to end the auction. This recently happened to me, and the only way to end the auction under 12 hours remaining, is by making the current high bidder the winner, then cancelling the transaction. I am selling the 2003 Grand Marquis AS-IS, with no warranty stated or implied. The vehicle is 14 years old, however, it operates exactly as it should and I wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere. I will also work with you if you need the car shipped, but the cost is on the buyer. After full payment is made, vehicle will need to be removed from my property within 10 days, or on the 11th day forward, a $20 per day storage fee will be charged. I only do this since I have had buyers pay for vehicles I’ve sold them, and then 5 weeks later they finally come collect their car when they ‘feel’ like it. I will work with the buyer, but at the same time I appreciate the vehicle being picked up in a timely manner so I do not have to charge a storage fee.
