My car is for sale if anyone in the lower Michigan area is interested, just a heads up

Why are you/your family selling it? (if you don’t mind me asking) Do your plan on getting another Accord? I only ask for I thought Accords were your favorite, or was it Camry?

I want a car with an automatic transmission, that's the main reason. Sure I like the Accord, but there's other cars I would like too. I would preferably want to get something bigger, like a Crown Victoria or even something Taurus-sized maybe. I found a beautiful black 1987 LTD Crown Vic (just like the one in Men in Black) in wonderful condition and for a good price, but when I called the seller he told me it had already been sold. I was so disappointed! But there is always something else, among few of the ones I've been looking at:

The '87 LTD

'74 Cadillac

'85 Buick Lesabre

'91 Grand Marquis

'78 New Yorker

'94 Taurus

'73 Chrysler
http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/874454842.html

Just by the optic impression, I suggest, you should take the 73' Chrysler.

Yes, my interest in US cars is not big (perhaps a 1967 Dodge Charger or a 1974 Dodge Monaco - but in the correct look could be the only ones for me), so my knowledge is weak either, but just for historical reasons I can say, that this is a real car. Real in the meaning, that it was made before the first energy-crisis in 1973/74, so the engine is not castrated for fuel-consumption- or environment-reasons.

And I'd say, with such a car, the girls would looking more, than with a Taurus or other irrelevant cars from the 80ies or 90ies.

When Max has openend a kind of internal marketplace in this forum, I will add annother offer:

My wife want's to give up to ride motorbike. So she wants to sell her 1993 Suzuki GS 500 E with only 12 000 km. Good runing condition, garage-bike, all former owners were women. Just one ugly scratch at the back (her brother was so idiotic to let fall the garage-door on it). Asking price 950 €.

UPDATE: My Honda is now sold, and I will be replacing it soon, once I find the right car for me.

How much did you get for it, may i ask?

2005 CV,

Best of luck car hunting! I always enjoy car shopping, even though I can’t buy everything I see.

Thanks Neptune I'm going to look at and very possibly buy a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis in very good condition this afternoon. I'll add pictures here once I get back for everyone to see.

@marioman- 920 dollars, no more no less though in regards to buying another car I may spend more than that, with a little help from my parents, but not too much as I want this car to be purely my own and it wouldn't be right for them to have to pay for it for me.

Good news everyone, I bought the Mercury! And my parnets didn't even have to help me pay for it. I am now the proud owner of a 1991 Grand Marquis, or as I like to call her, "the pink barge"










Even my dog likes the car



@neptune- you're good at colors, especially for Ford products, do you have any idea what this one was called? I think it may have been "Rosewood" but I'm not completly sure...

HIM!!

It's pink! It has to be a "her"

No way!

Oooh, a very Grand Marquise indeed. I like it. They had a very nice, upscale plush interior for the early 90’s. Equipped with driver’s side SRS Airbag and dual horn buttons. (Also has a passenger side SRS Airbag ? )



I think it was Woodrose Pink Metallic ... It has metallic flakes imbedded into the paint finish, yes?

Nice car

Mine is a "her" (I think ... )

I told taxiguy about this in the past.

Nope, that wasn't introduced until 1994 or 1995 on the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis. My grandmother's '92 Vic doesn't have one either.



Close, but I found a site that has a 'door sticker decoder' and after looking at my car's sticker it appears that the color is simply called "Woodrose" (sticker code: CD), though I have noticed that is does have metallic flakes in the paint too.

Here's the site if you're wondering, very helpful info for Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car owners/lovers. http://moldyrabbit.com/liquid/data.html

there's also a year-to-year brakedown of the changes to each model on the site that's also quite helpful http://moldyrabbit.com/liquid/changes.html

Well, yes Woodrose is the formal name, Pink Metallic is a description of the color.
Most people would not know that Woodrose as a standalone is a pink color if you asked them. On the other hand, there is no real need to state the color if its included in the formal name itself (i.e. the color of my car >> White Sand Tri-Coat Metallic Clearcoat)

I know it’s your car taxiguy, and I don’t want to impose my opinions on you, but, you don’t plan on "pimping" the car do you? (I think the car looks elegant in factory guise, not with big spinning wheels, and lights underneath, etc. )
