You're getting one too? Great!!!! I've been waiting 11 weeks so far and my car still has not been built. They should not have told me an 8-12 week wait if it really is longer than that. The dealer told me that once they receive an invoice, that it will be about 2 more weeks before they get it. I do not know how long it takes to build the car once they start, do you?
 
I notice you can't get the black interior with the Norsea blue. Do you know why? What does one manufacturing process have to do with the other?
 
Have you had a Grand Marquis before? This is my first time having a car like this and I think I'll wish I had gotten one a long time ago.

I went to the dealer today and it is going to end up being a 15 week wait. He tells me that Ford is now saying it takes up to 16 weeks to get an order. He told me my car has been built and it should arrive there on January 29. Woohoo!!!!!!

Audiophile option by ionosphere1

jsylvester,
 
Are you familiar with the 6-CD Audiophile option? I'm getting it, but I have never heard it, because the model the dealer had did not have that option and I cannot find any reviews of it, or even information about it, such as who builds it and the speakers, etc.

Hello all. This may not be the appropriate place to post this, but I do not see a prices pd. forum for Grand Marquis. Received a few quotes on a new '08 GS model with the current rebates, around $17,950. Seems like a fantastic price on a nice vehicle. Is this about the norm for right now with the incentives/rebates? Thanks in advance.

$17,950? Really? You got an offer of that price? That seems too low. Is this a GS with no options and not including the destination and LDMA charges? Otherwise, I don't think your price is possible for a new one. I'm an X-plan buyer, so I'm getting mine for about dealer invoice price, minus the rebates, minus an extra $1,000 if using Ford Credit.
 
I've been waiting almost 4 months now for mine and SHOULD have it in about another week.

I actually have two quotes, one at $17,995 and one at $17,950 for basically the same car. Brand new GS, not including Tax, title, license. The $17,950 one has heated mirors and traction control as listed options on the Sticker that they attached to the email. The prices are real. And I guess, from what you are stating, real good. These cars must not be moving at all.

overview of the grand marquis L.S. by dashpast
Feb 27, 2008 (9:32 am)

I am the proud owner of my fourth grand marquis L.S.. I buy the car with 2 years use with 18.000 miles. I had a 85,92,99,04 and two months ago a 2006.
 
If the car doesn't have dual exhausts I put them on plus use a K and N air filter.
 
The 2004 had the factory dual exhaust and the handing suspension...a faster machine but the air suspension is problematic thats why I traded it in because to fix the air suspension can be expensive.
 
Real life mileage 12-15 in city and 25 -27 on highway with the k and n filter the computer says 32 ??? It is a quiet dependable car only 2 dislikes the leg room in the rear seats are a joke....the new Nissan versa has better leg room.....the 4.6 is ok with factory dual exhaust...did a deal with my ford part man!!! The 4.6 that was in the maurauder should be the standard engine.
 
BUY USED there are many now in the system because the rental companies use them...check the car with the automobile club 100.00 usually it will be worth your while
 
As a real car nut and a reader of car and driver , motor trend automobile and road and track ...I think this is one of the best cars on the market period !!!!
 
Yes this machine needs a serious update....maybe the Ford interceptor concept car??? I really can't say but it is a very dependable car and if treated properly will give years of trouble free ownership

Buy new by ionosphere1

I was thinking of a used one, but with the big rebate they have and me being an X-plan buyer, I chose to get a new one with the intention of keeping it a long time. If Ford drops this and the Lincoln Town Car, there will be no big rwd sedans with front bench seats anymore, and since this is the type of car I want, I think I'm smart to get a new one and keep it a long time. I'm still floored that even Cadillac stopped making a car like this a long time ago. Sheesh.

I recently got a 2005 Grand Marquis and I absolutely love that car! I am a college student, and catch more than a few "granny car" remarks, but I can blow your v6 mustang anyday hotshot. Anyways, was wondering if about 17 mpg sounds about right, I had a car before that got 30mpg and the 17 scared me but thats avg for these cars isnt it?
