Another Ford in Family
 
The wife found a sweet 04 Gran Marquis. It is showroom clean with 35,000 miles. Its burgundy with parchment leather interior. It has new tires on factory rims. It cost $6,000 but I believe its worth it. Its our second one. Her 2000 was a great car. It was totaled by a 8 pt deer. I'm glad she found one she liked. I can keep her out of my F250.

Lavender?

When was the last time I saw a lavender car given today's black & white colors

lariat97 12-15-2013 10:18 PM

I call if maroon. The wife says Burgundy

tbm3fan 12-16-2013 01:02 AM

Either way it is a "color" one rarely sees nowadays. I'd go with Burgundy as it looks like wine.

The wife is happy so I'm happy. It looks like a good car. I like the big Ford cars. We have owned 1 Crown Vic & now 2 Gran Marquis. Te last 2 were great cars. Good mileage & very dependable. They both got around 20 mpg city & 24 & better highway. Not bad for the size car they are.

Great G-M! hope it serves you well for years.
One of the area Police depts had several unmarked, civilian trim G-M's in their fleet to supplement their CV-PI's
Very hard to spot in traffic, very stealthy, and very surprising to some clueless folks who did very stupid things, and found out that isn't grandma's Grand Marquis behind them.

It looks great. You done good. :-X22

I expect many years of service from this car. We took our time & finally found one that is in great condition & a good price. Its a Craigslist find believe it or not. It was owned by a retired police captain.

My wife says its strange looking up at other drivers now. She drove the F250 3 years & looked down at cars like her new one. LOL
