July 10, 200619 yr So right now im looking at replacements for the Mercury. I prefer and early 90's sedan with a V8 and RWD and it needs to be domestic. Any ideas?
July 10, 200619 yr Easy, a Chevy Caprice/Impala SS! Or.....Buick Roadmaster...or....Cadillac Fleetwood!
July 10, 200619 yr Author Prehaps I shouldve been more poinete. I dont have alot of money to throw around, most I can go to is 3k and I have awful credit.
July 10, 200619 yr '94-'96 Buick Roadsmasher or Cadillac Fleetwood. I'd only go for a Caprice if it were a real 9C1, but that's just me; any B-body would make a fine replacement for your old car.
July 10, 200619 yr How about an Olds Custom Cruiser with a Vista Roof Panel, huh? Then when you have maybe a little more cash, do something like this to un-grandma-fy it. Hotter than a Magnum if I do say so myself.
July 11, 200619 yr get a old pick up there cheap and all of the big three makes decent trucks. but old Caprices, and Crown Vics, and Marquis are found every where cheap!
July 11, 200619 yr Author Beat to $h! B-body or Panther, or something like a Bronco? 164798[/snapback] I barely do Ford cars, no way in hell i'll own a Ford truck if i can help it.
July 11, 200619 yr Easy, a Chevy Caprice/Impala SS! Or.....Buick Roadmaster...or....Cadillac Fleetwood! 164786[/snapback] Yes indeed... B-body is where it's at! Although a Panther would be a great choice too. These days a 96ish Town Car is looking like a very sensible value.
July 12, 200619 yr If you can deal with a 2 door unibody car check out the Lincoln Mark VIII from the mid to late 90s. (1993-1999)

July 13, 200619 yr That does sound quite nice, arent they the first car w/ aerodynamic headlight and HID? 166163[/snapback] Well... aerodynamic is relative but I believe they had the first HIDs & were the first to use NEON lighting technology, also one of the first to use active suspension & the car automatically lowered itself at highway speeds by a couple inches using it's 4 wheel air ride. Those of you that remember Lord Stafford when he used to post quite frequently... I've exchanged a few emails with him in the past year and I guess he bought himself a Mk III for a good price and the car has been great for him as of the last time we exchanged emails. --------- Edited July 13, 200619 yr by Sixty8panther
July 13, 200619 yr A Mark VIII is light years ahead of any other crap at Lincoln aside from the Continental. Be wary of faulty air suspensions, though. Make sure all is well before signing.
