Hi guys.... I am a newbie to this forum, i have been a member of the crownvic forum and long time member of the Cadillac forums. I am a Cadillac guy but i love the panther platform cars too!
Well i recently bought a 87 crown vic but found out the heater core was bad and had head gasket problems so i sold it
here is a pic..
But i have found two cars locally that i am really considering buying...
~the first is a 1987 Merc Grand Marquis, it has only 35k miles!! and is in very nice condition, interior is mint, its fully loaded... its white with red interior and red vinyl top and has turbine rims which i love. it has a couple small rust spots, and needs to have a driver's side fuel line replaced, but runs excellent. It is a 1 owner car and fully documented with tons of paperwork etc..
here is a pic of what the car look similar too, no actual pic though. The lowest the guy will go on the car is $2300, but he is willing to take a few payments(which works great for me)
~ The second is a 1986 Country squire wagon. It has 45k miles and is mint! Has cloth interior but seems to be fully loaded with power everything. Has duals(don't know if they are stock or add ons?) but is clean in every aspect no rust anywhere! Guy was asking $5500 but is now down to $4000...
the price is my only turn off.... seems worth it but still kinda high IMO.
its a nice car, but i like the Merc versions better, and its tan color is just ok, but i love that it is a woody... here are some actual pics of the car
It is at a dealer, i wonder if he would take a 98 deville in on trade?
Any suggestions or thoughts???!!
~Thank you!

to the site! Glad to see you're interested in getting another panther. A low mileage one owner car sounds very appealing. Thats also a damn good looking wagon, don't often see the woodgrain and its trim looking that nice. Price for the wagon is definitely too high though. It's high for a stock panther no matter how good the condition is. Having both a white grand marquis, and a woody wagon I'd pick the Marquis. Just depends on your taste, and if you can get the wagon for a better price. Hope you get one of them
