Kitsune rollin' in a panther - how fitting.  I'd rather have a P71, but they've all been rode hard and put away wet.  Even better would be a Marauder, but that would've cost ya many, many more pennies.  Congrats on the new ride, now don't kill yourself taking 'er drifting.

Good deal on it Kits,those cars look nice to me,and since 98 they have been built like tanks. Def a reliable car to own.
Enjoy

Word, though the platform has actually been around since '79 (it's older than Kitsune!).  It's amazing that they can keep cranking out cars on the same basic skeleton for thirty years, albeit with multiple upgrades and sheet metal changes.

Its all about drifting! DoRiftO!

LOL, there will be NO risking my car, beyond the occasional punch-it session.

I'm not a car person, as long as it goes I don't really care about it.

But I do have to agree with Zeta that a Mercury is an old person's car.  Sorry, Kitsune-chan.

old people cars are better, because they've been treated better.

Exactly. If you're buying a car for under $5000.00 you really want to make sure it's in good shape. Older people generally drive those cars, but that just means it's in better shape and less money you'll have to put into her.

That doesn't apply to my shithole of a town, and I can't go that far to do Craigslist, so STFU until you've lived my life. You've probably had everything handed to you.

I'm rather puzzled as to why you seem to think this. Well, first you thought I was on wellfare, now you think I'm Richie Rich.

BTW, my first car was an '82 Escort with a lot of Mercury Lynx trim and body parts on it. It was yellow with one black door. I will always remember it for the trip to Chicago my friends and I made in it, and the fact that if you were driving it after 2:00 am you were almost guaranteed to be pulled over by cops because...well, you just look like a drunk rolling something like that.

Heh, not really. Sure they are less rusty because they don't get driven in the snow (or hardly at all in some cases), and they are usually fully insured so the dents from weekly backing into shit get repaired instead of just leaving it that way, but old people are usually %100 certain that whenever you try to sell them anything you are trying to screw them, so they only change their oil once a year and put a piece of tape over the check engine light when it comes on so it doesn't bug them.

I'm actually a mechanic by day, and I'll tell you I've seen some horrible abuse done to cars by old people. Brake rotors as thin as a razor because they drive around with their feet on both pedals. Never change the automatic transmission oil. Ever. Just wait until the trans totally fries rather than do proper maintenance.

Zeta, I think Kitsu is just too modest of a young man to mention
the REAL reason he got a Marquis, the extra large rear seat area.
Right Kitsu......ya pimp dawg
