1988 Mercury Grand Marquis Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis really appreciate its comfortable ride and classic style. They highlight the excellent performance, especially for a car of its size, and enjoy its low maintenance nature. However, some dislike the high maintenance costs due to its age and the poor gas mileage, which can be a downside for those concerned about economy."
the performance of this car is great, it is very responsive, while it does not haul a$$ it gets on down the road, and the braking is great for a big sedan.The build quality is great, I drive it down dirt roads and it does not squeak or rattle any.The appearance is nice for an 80's model car, it is whats expected for it's generation.This car averages anywhere from 20-26mpg and this is one of the most low maintenance vehicles I have ever had. This car is fun to drive, it's like being in a time capsul taking you back in time, and enjoying true comfort as you go!!
November 14, 2010Loved it it was a very good first car. Loved it because it was my very first car. Loved driving it. Loved off-roading, mudding, and drifting it just in a few inches of snow. The thing that I loved the most on the car were the breaks-the front ones, it always stoped on a dime.
April 24, 2013This car was like a yacht on land. It drove incredibly and was nice to look at too.

January 6, 2008I bought it with 181k and 2 owners. 5.0 liter V8 that I got as high as 31 mpg hwy 21 mpg city. Extra cool AC and smooth as silk to drive. It failed to pass emmision requirements in my area so I sold it with 358k on the odometer. It still run and drove like a new car. I always regretted letting it go and definitely would buy another one in good shape.
May 21, 2022The car may move slow with the weight it has, but with the v8 under the hood, she could make some smoke ;-). Since this was the first car I drove, and it was sitting in a garage for most of its life, it needed some serious repair in the gasket department. Once we found the problem with the header gasket, our problems were fixed. The interior feels like sitting on a couch, but the front seat headrests are missing. Because the thing has a v8 the gas mileage is poor and you tend to develop a lead foot to get it moving. all in all, the car is very comfortable to drive and I would recommend it to anyone that finds one.
January 6, 2012for a two ton heap of metal it rides like cloud. Awsome power and chrome trim it once was a beautiful cruiser. unfortunaley for a car of its age it takes alot of maitenence so its an on going project caar.
