You know how everyone says "You won't find a nicer Marquis for this year!" ? well, this one comes very close!

It's not perfect, but it's an original survivor! This car came to me in the spring of this year, and I am the second owner of this 16 year old classic!

It was owned and driven by a little old lady until I purchased it in April when it had only 29,*** miles!

It sounds like a typical story, but it's so true...I have the Carfax to prove it!

Because it was a "little old lady car", most of it's life was spent sitting in a garage, resulting in little to no fading of the carpet or headlight covers...

...and even the paint shines almost as if new!

Here's what I did immediately after bringing her home...It was inspected, oil n filter, and the serpentine belt was changed.

No reason for the belt to be changed other than the fact that it was the original belt and I didn't want to go on a long drive and be stranded.

Then shortly after that, I brought it in for a computer scan because a light came on in the dash...it showed the ERG sensor was bad. Since the car sat for long periods of time in between driving, and also since it was driven by an older person, it probably didn't get to go long distances, and the injectors were getting clogged. The injectors were cleaned and a new sensor put in, and while it was there, I had them replace the high beams with Sylvania Ultra Bright headlights...and they are a whiter light than the normal lights that were in there.

Now that I got all the "bugs" out, I am going to let it go to someone who can pamper it and enjoy it for many years to come...besides, my Mustang is on the way soon!!! :)

Seriously, it is!!!

OK, here we go...The interior is near mint, no rips or tears, good carpet, (all floormats too!), as expected from a car with such low milage.

It has power windows and mirrors, drivers seat is power, passenger manual.

Cruise, tilt, intermittent wipers, A/C is as cold as they come, windows roll up and down without hesitation, all seatbelts are intact and working...I'm telling you, the car is like new!

(The cassette deck doesn't play...I haven't figured out why, but it didn't matter since I don't have cassettes anyway!)

The AM-FM works fine and so does the digital clock. As for the Park Lane trim package...dealers back in those days, sold mostly LS models first and the GS models usually had to be given more of an incentive to entice the buyer...so they put special packages on them. This one got the limo treatment with side coach lights, a canvass top, known as the carriage roof, and leather interior...something the normal GS model didn't have...it wasn't an option as far as I understand.

As for the car mechanically, it is sound and can be driven anywhere at any time. It gets good gas milage too, averaging between 17 city and 25 on the highway, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. The battery is new, and the brakes, tires and exhaust are good.

It also comes with the original window sticker!

It has the classic huge trunk, clean, space saver spare and original jack.

As for the body, there are normal parking lot dings and there is a spot under the front bumper with yellow paint scratched in that obviously says the lady hit a high curb or sidewalk with it.

There is one minor flaw in the right rear wheel well, some surface rust starting where dirt gets stuck in...a manufacturing design flaw...but the remedy to that is keep the car clean and it won't continue to rust! :)

I have been honest about everything about the car, but if I left any question unanswered, please feel free to ask...but please do it before the auction ends.

I have the car listed on C***slist and it's also out in front with a for sale sign on it, so if I am offerred the price I am looking for, I will reserve my right to end the auction early.

I can't force you to buy this car, but if it's a '97 Marquis you're looking for, don't hesitate to buy this one!

PLEASE NOTE...if you need it shipped, you have to work that out yourself, I am not a dealer, therefore I do not have connections.

God bless
