I'm from Berryville, VA with a 2005 Merc GM. Prior panthers include 88 Crown Vic 2 dr, 96 Crown Vic 4 dr, 02 Merc GM, 10 Merc GM. I bought my current 2005 MGM from the estate of a 95 year old woman (original owner w/husband) in 2021 with 63K miles - pristine other than some door rubs on pillars in apartment garage and bumber dings. Tires with good tread but 2009/2020 dates replaced immediately, as were brake pads, front rotors and change of all fluids. I disconneted the rear air bags and replaced them with coils and new shocks - compressor retained in case some day I want to return to air bags. I do all this work myself although I'm a senior citizen.
I have all the repair records including those merchants who took advantage of a senior citizen to perform "Wallet Flush". Best example is coming in with a fluid leak (60K) and merchant replacing radiator and all hoses where most likely only a hose leak -disgusting practice, beware.
It has all the bells and whistles including dual power seats and sun roof. No rust - garaged its entire life. I plan to keep it original and repair the body dings and find a paint restorer for the rubs. Several things needing some fixing - sticky passenger sticky seat belt retractor, too stiff steering (after fluid change), low brake pedal (after new pads and fluid change). Could also use a new driver's seat bun, I've done this to a Tahoe but haven't found a supplier at a reasonable price.
