Awesome find!!

I don't believe it's not flipped over. They'd have to show me complete maintenence logs from day 1.

Well I certainly would want some documentation as well, but if you look at the engine it really is only dusty. Look at the wiring, you can still see the colors with no hint of grease or grime.

Also, pay attention to the tires. The ad shows wide whites in some of the pictures (which would have been factory) then in other pics it clearly has new tires with thinner white walls. I think the seller changed out the tires because they had to be dry-rotted (the ad mentioned new tires).

A car like this really would need to be seen up close. It would be too hard from pictures to be 100% certain of the mileage. I'll tell you one thing IMHO if it has 108K on it, the owner was meticulous as that interior is factory fresh.

I saw that too. I don't believe it's not flipped over. They'd have to show me complete maintenence logs from day 1.

Maybe I just think people suck It is a nice car.

He explains the repaint was a misprint later in the ad. I believe the mileage. The engine just looks dusty, the steering wheel is perfect, and the seats have zero wear. I really like this car, great color combo and pretty equipped. It even has the rare Premium sound knob.

I wonder how bad the hoses et al would be after 30 years of non-use.

Good looking car though.


ETA: On second thought, considering how dirty the engine looks for less than 10K and the fact that the seller says it's been repainted makes me believe there is more than what's being let on.

(He says "Original Ford Silver Metallic paint..." then right down below it he wrote "Brand new dual stage repaint in original factory color")

Or maybe I'm a pessimist.

This 1983 Grand Marquis showed up on eBay today. It has only 8850 original miles on it, never rolled over. Pretty clean-looking, good condition box-shape Marquis are getting more scarce these days. Used to be able to pick one up for a grand or two (not with mileage this low, of course!)
