Well Maintained means a great car.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 204,000

Pros: "Rear wheel drive,controls in the steering wheel."

Cons: "No heated seats!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"For all the miles, it shows great, handles like a cloud and actually gets good gas mileage. Maintenance is important, especially in NY.I am the second owner, and everything works perfect still.I am very impressed.I also own a Cadillac , and the difference in ride is amazing. One is sport, the other is pure comfort."

"i have 120,000 miles on her now. i switched over to michelin tires, the best ones available and use only synthetic oil. the car get terrible gas mpg in town but on the highway at a steady 68mph it gets up to 29mpg. no major problems at all. only replaced a headlight relay. she is now due for new tires and shocks. wish they were still made. i would gladly buy another grand marquis."

Last of an era, for a good reason.

I don't own this car

Pros: "A good value for the dollar."

Cons: "Handles like the aircraft carrier it is."

"This car handles extreamly poorly. It doesn't have much power nor does it get very good mpg. It is HUGE to drive, but cramped inside. There have been a couple of quality glitches in this car, not too many, but far more than previous bought-new Ford products (Mercury Sable, Ford Aerostar, Ford Tempo, Ford Ranger, Ford F-150/250, etc) our family has owned over the past 20 years. For anybody considering this car, drive the new-style Ford Taurus before you buy this one. It's a much better car in every way possibly imaginable."

"The only thing I disliked about the car is the wheel covers, it is the one with the disc in the middle. They rattle and then you lose them off of the car. The cost to replace one is $20, not bad but very annoying. This is the second Marque I have owned, good dependable, comfortable and roomy"
