she likes the mercury grand marquis. i dont. i would like her to find a nice camry. 2005 or so. nice low mileage.

There's a lot to be said for the Grand Marquis. They are reliable and comfortable to drive, and they are a full size car so if, God forbid, there's an accident there's more car to protect you. I work near Teterboro Airport (Largest private jet airport in the nation) and all the Limo drivers drive the Grand Marquis. You know they would not drive vehicles that are unreliable.

yeah destroyer, she has one now that she swears by. needs an intake manifold and she'd rather go with something a bit newer. i just dont like the way they ride. after driving the jap cars for years it feels to me like piloting a land yacht. it just floats too much for me. i like to feel the road. of course it's her decision so whatever she finds is what she's gonna drive.

hard to beat the Gran Marq, most of the good ones have been snapped up by taxi, limo, over the road salesmen, the Police versions were pretty bare and they're usually bought in lots and shipped over seas(see them loaded up on ships at the terminal). Take a look at some of the Fords like the Focus and Taurus, the focus engine is the Yamaha power head that they use on the 115 outboard. You're going to pay a premium on a toyota regardless.
