99 grand marquis LS owner here reporting in

Ls430 if you want a fancier car than a Panther.

1UZ-FE is life.

Or VIP it up.

W-body if you want something better than an panther, but fwd.

>tfw no mercury marauder

...

Just bought a '98, what should i look out for?

Spark plugs exploding and intake coolant crossover leakage

that's one hell of a barge in my euroshit country

...

And fuck this stupid phone for taking upside down pictures

i haven't really had anything break on it, it's only had an electrical glitch with the EATC, which was fixed with a reset. only thing's i've had to do to mine are maintenance related.
only things to look out for are catalytic converters and coils

i want one so fucking bad

>Euroshit country
>Australia
pick one.

>implying any impala is better than a panther

I liked the idea until I saw this picture, guy in the car ruined a good car pic

OP hath summoned the LS fags

If this doesn't make you cum leave Veeky Forums

>faster
>better handling
>IRS
>same platform as Pontiac Grand Prix so lots of aftermarket support
>just as comfy and reliable
>glorious 3800 V6
The only weak spot is the transmission... and noise cuz the 3800's always sound like shit.

>just as comfy
>just as reliable
>better handling
>implying speed matters in a land barge
>implying an impala is even a land barge

Have fun changing the rear spark plugs

Honda accords are getting heavier and more luxurious.

lol

Not has hard as some people make it out to be.

Love bench seat cars

>60 degree V6

Guess what gasket will fail and cost 4 figures or several days to fix

Honestly, best generation right there.

The final generation just wasn't as good.

>implying an impala is even a land barge
It was classified as a full size car.

as someone who has driven both of these, you are completely wrong.

same
i had the opportunity to buy both, i went with the marquis for a reason.

the newer ones just look so boring, and the power delivery isn't as smooth either.

that's... that's JUST a cutout?!?!?!?!

u wot

Panthers are arguably pretty shitty, but man W bodys really suck.

Why are people even bothering with discussing the grandma police car when this exists

because you can buy the grandma police car for roughly the cost of an iphone.

Panthers and LS400s are in the same price range

What's the average LS400 go for?

Between 2 and 4 thousand for 1st and 2nd gen

Yeah that's twice what a decent CV or MGM will cost you lol, plus parts for these cars are stupid cheap (as in i can buy an entire engine for this car for about 250 bucks)

delete last two mufflers on a sc400 and it sounds even better than that. Very smooth idle sound and it has a subtle scream (hard to describe) at high rpms.

>this busrider thinks you can buy cars for 1000 that aren't rust buckets that need thousands of dollars worth of work

That's exactly what I did. My car is fine. I bought this MGM for 1800, no issues whatsoever.
Granted, that's a good bit more than 1000, but this thing is in excellent shape and has every available option for the year.

Cool

My LS cost 2 grand

Gonna just slide my 1998 Buick Century Limited Landbarge

Oh and I got it for 300

are you black

Nice W-body.

>W-body
>nice
pick one.

$2k for a UCF20? Good job.

I'll pick both.

nice = being able to burnouts?

I paid $500 for my 56k mile 92 Vic.
$500 for my cream puff 55k mile Tudor
$500 for a nice southern 88 p72
$900 for a 91 wagon
$1000 for another 91 wagon
$1900 for a cream puff 89 towncar

Panthers are literally worthless.

Do E39s count as landbarges?

Really tempted to go take a look at it.

>completely ignores the timeslip on the right side of the picture.

work on your reaction time, thats a fucking solid 11 second car.

ma nigga

easy. undo an engine mount, ratchet strap the motor around the front to the frame underneath. engine rolls forward. no effort at all.

>v6
Say no more, cuck

Meth injection... Wigger mobile there.

On the left is a large size sedan designed in the late 70's. On the right is a modern mid size sedan.

>any Japanese car
>nigger/digger mobile

Lol u tried

I owned this car for a few years. I really loved it, but somebody just destroyed it with their F-350 a few years ago.
Pretty sad, I put a lot of money in those switches.
Was a great car, even if it took a while to get the pumps just right.

There's a spic that shitposts about GS400's all the time.

POST VIPs

Someone post the picture of gsgoy, he's not a spic

He's californian

So am I? Here comes the fly over bringing up his jealousy in a irrelevant manner.

Did you buy a Fusion m8?

>tfw 99 LeSabre
not quite a land barge but not small either
m...mid size fo lyf...

Why the FUCK are Panther platform cars so expensive where I live? I have never seen one go for less than two grand, period, regardless of year or CV/GM/TC/p71.

No why would I do that? Fusion is a coworker's car

They've gotten a little bit popular when they where discontinued. Now that the police/fleet surplus is drying up prices only will increase, though I wouldn't consider it an investment.

Been a while since I've been on Veeky Forums. Didn't know if you were still rocking the over 9000 hours idle hour CVPI.

Still got it, approaching 8700 idle hours. I have for the most part abandoned any desire to mod it and get something else later down the road but we will see. Going to be my DD for a couple months still.

Bump

Here's my 89 MGM GS

'98 here, gotta love those cushy la-z-boy seats

>11 year old time slip
You expect me to believe your redneck shitbox still runs those times today?

1990's Lincoln Town car. RWD, Bench seat, comfy.

Beware the electrical issues.

...

That explains the flashing engine light and loss of power at high speeds

>calling this a landbarge
Fuck right off
>Yeah bruh my Sebring is a landbarge too

Is this considered a land barge ya'll?

The E38 is an amazing vehicle but they're a bitch and a half to maintain.

I love the LS but this is one fucking disgusting example of it.

>Grand Marquis: 1 Landau top/four wheels
>Nissan GT-R: 0 Landau tops/four wheels

where do you live? looks comfy.

these are excellent cars. that will run forever. so if you decide to ruin these -- fuck you.

Old mercs are the best mercs.

Your mom's a fucking landbarge

...

Whacha gonna buy?

Take an actually pic of the car already, not that old CL ad.

WNY, it is

Have some sleeping Town Car

>western NY
>comfy

>drive to town to get milk and eggs
>potholes go BUDUDUBUMBUUBUBVMBPUMP
>stop at store
>black people sent upstate from NYC's radios go BUDUDUBUMBUUBUBVMBPUMP
>it starts snowing
>staties don't come out until there's a foot of snow on the ground and then adds another foot of salt
>my shitbox goes BUDUDUBUMBUUBUBVMBPUMP as the strut towers explode and the rear quarter panels disintegrate into piles of steel filings
>IC student in a Volvo drives by and throws his microbrewery beer at me

AT LEAST THE TREES ARE NICE, WHEN THEY DON'T SMELL LIKE PISS

Out of all of those it's only the black people that really bother me.

And the salt.

Just upgraded from a 23 year old Mitsubishi shitbox to an '03 MGM today. Feels great.
