What is the typical age of Grand Marquis drivers? I have been told it is a paw paw car. I said so what. Numerous companys use them for company cars so who can tell the difference. I think it is a great bargain for the price so I bought one anyway,

I drive a '96 Crown Vic LTD; I've had it for over two years and I'm just 19. I get flack for it being and old man car too. But that usually subsides when they try to keep up on the interstate. The Grand Marquis is a slightly fancier version of the vic. I dunno... U make the call. They are dependable...for a Ford.

I am 21 and have had both an 86 GM for 2 years and now I have a 90 CV for about 6 years and love both cars but I like the CV look alot better than the GM, But I got picked on about it being and old persons car but did not care.

I say the Grand Marquis is just simply a very nice car. My mom had an '85, and I miss that car a lot. I say that if you like it, don't worry about what everyone else says. If you want to make it a real young kid's car, just put on dual straight pipes. No one will call you an old man then! :)

I think the average age may be getting younger but in my area, there are still a lot more older people driving them.

I was in my early 30's when I got mine. I bought it because I wanted something different from my last car, which was a 1993 Cavalier. So this was pretty much on the opposite side of the spectrum. My other option was an SUV or pickup truck, which was a little less practical.

Practical, did I just say that???

Man, I'm already starting to sound older. LOL

im 21, and the 93 grand marquis is my first american car. ive owned over 10 hondas, acuras, nissans. i bought the GM because i was flirting with the idea of turning into a cab. now its just my daily driver to school, i love the smooth ride, and even though the gas mileage is shitty, i usually drive it instead of my 91 accord because its simply a nicer car. in a ideal world i would put some flowmasters and some subs in the trunk, but im debating on whether to flip it or hold onto it for a while, because the transmission is having me kind of worrying (slippage in overdrive)

Just recently I was given a junked 1994 Grand Marquis, so that I could fix it and use it to go to college. Well, I fixed it and I am going to college in it. I am 19 and this is my third car. I really like it, I also get picked on but I don't mind(they will be drooling when I remove the cat's and install flowmasters, lol)
