Replying to: calpete (Dec 18, 2008 1:29 pm) I have a 1996 Marquis GS and my parents have 2006 LS. I bought them both in Florida and we shipped them to Germany. So far, we do most of everything by our self, incl. all the oils, filters etc. We are even going to repair accident-damages to both our Marquis that unfortunately happened recently. I was cut by a Semi Truck in Town, but my Marquis hold up very well I have to say!! These cars are very strong and simple in a positive way! You almost need 2 persons to carry one front fender!! And everything is pretty logic and easy manufactured on these cars and people here in Germany (thats where we live) are always pretty excited and impressed when they see our cars and their solidity!! By the way, a lot of room in the engine-compartment for easy maintanance, too! A couple things changed from 1996 to 2006, the newer cars are a bit louder (we guess, thinner glass to save weight) and not as smooth anymore, although, compared with other cars today, are still smooth and silent!! Try to get the rear Air Suspension maybe includet with the LS!? Itīs a lot smoother! The exhaust probably never needs to be changed, although we changed to dual exhaust by our selfs, too! If you buy it now, you will probably get a fantastic price. Itīs a real bargain, anyways! Have fun with it! Sorry for my english!

| My 2004 GM has had a "Crunch" sound in the front since the 2nd scheduled maintenance check as a new vehicle. Dealer reported no obvious problems . After next maintenance check they injected something into the casing. Still crunches ! Then dealer decided it was the hood and adjusted the "springs" on either side of the front of the hood. Still crunches. Now my GM is drives like a sail boat on choppy seas ! It bounces all over at the slightest bump in the road. Any suggestions ??? | |
Its a peach. I paid $9K for it last march with 65K miles. It has 92K now, the only issue was the battery that I replaced (with an Optima). It starts in -15 degrees after sitting outside for several days, and it rides and handles great. My previous car was a 96 GM. It had 3 of the power windows fail, it melted a hole in the intake manifold, and the heater core failed. It still runs with 195K miles, so maybe I shouldn't complain. But still, I hope my 2003 won't have those problems.

Replying to: joesmith2 (Jan 17, 2009 10:58 pm) What is there about Ford heater cores used in '95 & '96 that cause them to fail? |

I have a 1994 MGM with 120k miles on it. It ran fine up until a month ago when it would surge as I accelerated. It did this for about a month then it just wouldnt start. I assumed it was the fuel pump so changed it and the filter out. The car ran again but still surges as I accelerate and just doesnt have the power it should. Now it wont start again, it just turns over and it almost 'feels' like it wants to start but wont. Is this a fuel problem or is there a sensor goofing me up? Any help appreciated!
