Apparently hit by full size SUV which overrode the tank or he forgot to fill up.

After the Mustang and Pinto fuel tank designs you have to be a little wary of Ford.

I just bought a 2001 Mer. Grand Marquis LS. It didn't come with the card that tells you what the 5-digit permanent entry code is. I've heard that there is a sticker in the car somewhere with this 5-digit code on it. Anybody know where? I would like to use the driver door keypad system but the dealer said it would cost me $80.00!!
#1715 of 3244 tcjd2000 - Key code by cfocfo Jan 11, 2003 (12:19 pm)
When you buy a new GM, you get the code on a card and an additional 4 stickers to put where you want.   I just bought a GM and yesterday was deciding where I will place a sticker inside the car, (hidden), while I carry the card in my wallet.   So ..... if the original owner thought the same way, your code could be anywhere, NOT in one particular spot.   If you don't find the sticker/code, ask the dealer to call the past owner for it ! And lastly, I would pay the $ 80, (although it doesn't seem right) because as you know, you can:   put in an additional 2 codes, easy to remember know that you will NEVER be locked out again ! grab something out quickly, while keeping your car locked and you can even pop the trunk open from the key pad.   Good luck !

Look all around inside the trunk. Pull the cloth away from the inside of the fenders and you might just find a "Hide A Key" with a spare key inside.   $80 bucks is a ripp off. E mail the assembly plant.
#1717 of 3244 Consumers Reports Pans Marquis Ride Quality by dbc123 Jan 13, 2003 (5:56 pm)
I've long complained here and elsewhere about the stiffened up suspension on the 03 GM/CV/TC. It's not just me - Consumers Reports in the Feb issue says the ride is "stiff and jittery" and that it feels "nervous and unsettled". Pronounced it the worst ride of the cars in the compairson - Buick and even Toyota were better!! Too bad Ford has destroyed the one big advantage of these cars - all for "handling" which was also considered poor....
#1718 of 3244 GM ride by jerrym3 Jan 14, 2003 (7:03 am)
Interesting that Consumer Reports would write that. Wonder if they tested the model with the handling package.   I test drove a Marauder and did find the ride to be somewhat stiff, but, in the Marauder, that's to be expected. However, even with a suspension that is stiffer than the regular GM, I never noticed any jitters. But, after driving the Marauder, my 94 TBird ride felt extremely soft.   Maybe Mercury is after the buyers that have either had enough of the SUV craze, or gotten tired of their sports sedans, and want to get back to a full size car. In that case, they may find the standard GM ride "less stiff" than the SUV or sports sedan ride.   After test driving the Marauder, I couldn't help but wonder if that level of stiffness would become more annoying than enjoyable after the car had aged.   But, the Marauder also seemed to accelerate with ease, as compared to the 4.6 TBird, which I had thought was a pretty quick car.
