#2364 of 3244 Re: GM Power Windows [heart2] by iusecad Dec 20, 2004 (10:12 am)
Replying to: heart2 (Dec 19, 2004 1:29 pm) my '98 Vic just started doing that. I think mine is caused by the cold and would probably benefit from some sort of lube in the tracks...
#2365 of 3244 Slow Power Windows (heart2) by bdeyes333 Dec 20, 2004 (5:25 pm)
iusecad,You are right on with the lube idea, I use a good quality Silicone Spray Lubricant twice per year in each window channel.It streaks the glass for a little while but it's no big deal. Never have a problem with my Chevy's power windows.Stuff is also good to use on all the rubber bits as it keeps them from sticking in cold temperatures.    Hope this helps, BD EYES
#2366 of 3244 Slow Windows by jsylvester Dec 20, 2004 (6:02 pm)
Crown Vics and Grand Marquis have had slower than normal power windows since the 92 redesign - my 94 is the same way. The simple answer is the motor just runs slower than what most other vehicles do.   If it is slower than before, than I would suggest lubing the tracks, but don't expect a miracle.
#2367 of 3244 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis LS by panda1 Dec 24, 2004 (3:32 am)
Does any one out there know any thing about the 2000 Grand Marquis LS? This one has 111,000 miles on it. The price is $6,559,looks new and is emmaculant inside and out. The dealer said it did not have traction control on it, but over the glove box it reads PrecisionTrac. Does any one know what this means? I am use to luxery cars and this one rode quite well. I was pleased with my test drive. I drove it in town and on the highway. Thanks for any input. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Dec 25, 2004 3:16 pm)

Replying to: panda1 (Dec 24, 2004 3:32 am) If its just been casually maintainned, Panda, it should be good for another 40,000 miles easy. If it's been as well cared for as it looks, she may go for 500,000. Some of the limos do. These are an old design, but tough as neutronium which is why police love to mount curbs with them-they are almost indestructable. They get good mileage, ride great and are roomy. Should be good price too.
#2369 of 3244 2000 Grand Marquis GS by panda1 Dec 26, 2004 (2:49 am)
Thank you nvbanker. I MADE A MISTAKE, THIS IS A GS, NOT A LS. I assuned the difference was the GS did not have as many bells and whistles as the LS. Exterior and interior look the same, but no leather and not as many buttons. And this car does not have a door remote which is important to me, so I would have to have one installed. No matter if it is a used car lot, or a dealership, the salesmen always give me the creeps, which makes me feel uncertain about them and the vehical. HAS ANY ONE OUT THERE OWNED A GS?
#2370 of 3244 '00 GM GS - by harmar2 Dec 26, 2004 (8:23 am)
Check the suspension. My GS Sable had no rear sway bar and lacked a few other options not obvious to the naked eye. It may lack interior creature comforts, too, such as power seats, etc. If you have a bad back or hip, for example, those power adjustments are a godsend on trips. Some online site should be available to give you a list of options found only on an LS.   As for mileage, a buddy routinely got 150,000 on GMs, then sold them to friends with no fear of anything going sour. None did.   Good luck.
#2371 of 3244 GS vs LS by nvbanker Dec 26, 2004 (3:48 pm)
The GS is pretty much the rental line, and it's pretty plain. It wouldn't work for me. The main feature I ñotice the difference in is the seats. Check out the seats carefully for lumbar support & lateral comfort. Mechanically, it should be about the same.

Not really. The LS has what amounts to the performance and handling package for the CV on most models. There are a LOT more GS models out there used than there are LS's. It's hard to find an LS or a Crown Vic Sport or even a Crown Vic LX in the used market. The buyers of those models are far more likely to keep them for a long time, as opposed to the fleet buyers, who often trade frequently but rack up high miles.
