Essentially a carry-over from the previous year, the 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis is a six-passenger, rear-wheel-drive sedan availabe in entry-level GS and better-equipped LS models. Power for both models is provided by a 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces 224 horsepower. The flexible-fuel engine can be configured for either gas or E85 ethanol fuel. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard.
The 2008 Grand Marquis is equipped with a wide range of standard features, including four-wheel anti-lock brakes, a fail-safe engine cooling system, side-intrusion door beams, a tire pressure monitoring system, a SecuriLock anti-theft ignition system, and a Personal Safety System for the driver and passenger that includes dual-stage front airbags and safety belt energy management retractors.
Other standard features include air conditioning, power windows, mirrors, and door locks, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a tilt steering wheel with cruise control, 16-inch wheels with chromed covers, and an AM/FM stereo system with a CD player.
What owners say
"The 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis is highly regarded by owners for its reliability, comfort, and spaciousness. Many drivers appreciate the powerful V8 engine and smooth ride, noting that it feels built to last. However, some have mentioned a few minor repair issues and the challenge of finding parts. While it may be seen as slightly dated in features, the overall consensus is that it's a fantastic value for a luxury car."
This smooth-riding, dependable sedan is the best luxury ride for the money. According to the driving computer, we're getting 26 MPG, not bad for a V-8. The 4.6 L engine is a proven workhorse, too. I like that it's rear-wheel drive because of its size and weight. Very nice driving car!
January 25, 2009Its a used car so you never know what could be wrong with it despite what the car fax says. Couldnt pass it up for the price and the low mileage and I wasnt disappointed. I used to have a 1996 model so I already knew what a comfortable riding car it is and this one is just as good. A great car for long distance rides. Couldnt be happier. I found a gem. I imagine it is similar to a Crown Victoria or a Lincoln for a comfortable ride.
August 21, 2023Best car ever made. Built like cars that were made to last well into the 300,000 mile range.

March 14, 2023There was a little expensive as are all used cars but this was right in line with every other Mercury Marquis had all the features all of them work I have had only five days but very satisfied checked out the stats on Carfax and they all checked out good
March 8, 2022Great car. Very spacious inside. Will sit 5 adults comfortably. It gets pretty good milage too.
February 27, 2024I prefer these Panther platform large rear-wheel drive cars. Too bad Ford ended the Mercury line! This ones in great shape.
August 15, 2022The cars are amazing they can literally last forever and are built like tanks.
December 21, 2020I understand what the Mercury Grand Marquis offers and it is the best for the money luxury car left.
November 19, 2020trunk room is huge, very roomy interior with very good comfort level, a mystery as to where the fuse is for the non working cruise control which is the only thing on the car which is a negative so far
July 25, 2013Safe car, roomy, dependable, reliable if taken care of. Wish I had another updated one like the 2011.
