#1 of 20 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis by ionosphere1 Nov 15, 2007 (10:55 am)
Well, I finally did it and ordered one. After testdriving one I knew this was the car for me. I love this car. I've done lots of research and lots of places like Consumer Reports don't like this car and say to get others instead like Toyota Avalon, Honda Accord, etc. Well I am getting a loaded LS for about $23,500 after their rebate and I challenge anyone to find as nice and comfortable car as this for that money. I don't think these other cars compare at all to this.   Long live the land yacht! There must be something wrong with me, because I like big Detroit iron much more than all those overpriced subarus, Hondas, etc.   Dealer tells me it will take 8-12 weeks to get so I will be patiently waiting and trying to sell my current car meanwhile.

Not to ask a trivial question, but do they come with white stripe sidewalls on the tires?   The issue I noticed is the color combination doesn't seem to be allowed - Norsea blue with black interior.

I wanted a specific color and options, so I'm willing to wait. White stripe sidewalls is not one of the options. My dealer had only one model on his lot, and that model he just got. For awhile he had no models. Guess the demand is too low for dealers to keep in stock? Replies to this message: jsylvester (Nov 16, 2007 3:35 pm) ionosphere1 (Nov 16, 2007 4:03 pm)

Replying to: ionosphere1 (Nov 16, 2007 8:29 am) They were in short supply because the first month or two after the model year switch, the factory builds almost nothing but Crown Vic Police Interceptors and other fleet vehicles, which is why the 2008 prices were released later than other Mercury products.   Retail stock should catch up now. I'm just concerned that Ford is seriously considering dropping the vehicle, seeing how they won't invest a dime in the platform. Replies to this message: ionosphere1 (Nov 16, 2007 4:03 pm)

#6 of 20 Cash Rebate Dreaming by rs_petty Dec 05, 2007 (5:36 pm)
I could have sworn this last weekend there was a $5500 cash rebate on the MGM. I went back to both the incentives list here at Edmunds and the official Mercury site and it is a meesly $500. Does anyone else remember or was I just dreaming?
#7 of 20 Rebate by ionosphere1 Dec 05, 2007 (9:07 pm)
It's still $5,500. You must not have clicked on the BUY button, but looked at the default LEASE. Replies to this message: rs_petty (Dec 08, 2007 6:16 am)

Replying to: ionosphere1 (Nov 15, 2007 10:55 am) That's awesome. The GM is a great car. I love my Ultimate Edition with the digi dash. My coworkers are taken aback when they see me in mine, I guess, because I'm a younger guy (at 36 younger than what we associate with the typical GM buyer/driver). But I've turned them on to the value the GM brings. On long trips, which a make frequently, I get OVER 31 mpg. It's amazing.   And I have the white wall tires. I think they are cool.

Replying to: joeveto (Dec 16, 2007 9:05 am) Your gas mileage is that good? I'm surprised, since it is supposed to get lousy gas mileage. I wonder why I have to wait 8-12 weeks to get mine? There are cars like the Honda Accord, VW Jetta, etc., that costs more than the loaded LS I'm getting. They can have their little, overpriced imports. I'll take a big, American cruiser!
