new daily driver

[babbage]

I came across a 2008 mercury grand marquis LS, black exterior, black leather interior. Power seats, heated, rear air suspension, remote start. Premium audio package. 13,800 miles on it! Paint on hood has some marks but overall pretty clean.

It has 16" wheels brand new tires, a/c compressor, fresh trans flush, fuel filter.

Just changed oil with M1 0-30, seafoamed it. Has 2.79 rear axle ratio!
At 80 its at 1950 rpm - lol

Has single exhaust, looking to make her at least duals with a borla cat back exhaust kit, bolts on, this kit fits Marauders as well.

You have 2.73 gears which was standard, I changed mine out to 3.27's and limited slip which really woke the car up.

Good luck with it and post up some pictures.

I had a 2008 GMQ as a DD as well! Recently traded it in on a new Silverado though.

Great reliable transportation!

I think it was a good deal at 10k. I like it. Will post a pics soon. Better is that my MM is no longer a daily driver.

Lots of panthers on Cars.com with more miles 30-40k and 11,000+

This one was close to me and I needed it and had to jump on it.

Car also has power pedals, traction control , with open diff I think.

Its so quiet, and it floats, definately does not merge like the MM!

I drove the new focus RS I drove the new fiesta ST which was nice but kind of small..

[babbage]

drove this too - 2012 SS 6 speed hurst short throw, Felt a lot like the old mustangs were you look out over the hood and third gear is freaking awesome...

I was smooth with it but I definitely made the sales person uncomfortable, went about 2k-4k in second and third floored. ha ha
