I haven't gotten to that point yet. I still enjoy the performance, handling and features of a nice car. I suppose I'll be dialing that back some when I retire. I have to admit that when I drive my old yard truck it's nice to not worry about getting door dings.
....

Speaking of 0% financing, I found in a local Facebook trader page, a really nice 1994 mercury Grand Markus with 95,000 miles and new tires all around. $1200.00. Cash I'm now driving a 1994 mercury grand Markus.

Oh yes, Wayne. 236,000 out of my 1995 Lincoln town car till gobs of wired stuff went bad. I like the idea of sitting on a living room couch gliding smoothly down the road like sliding on oil. 25mpg highway isn't bad either...

You'd have to buy a Rolls Royce or Bentley to get comparable roominess
or comfort.

A friend up here just sold a 2010 Merc Grand Marquis. It was his dad's
"summer" car that he used when he came up from Florida. Garaged and not
used during the winter. It had 30K miles on it and was in mint
condition. He asked $10k or best offer. Didn't last long.

There's a reason that same platform was used for years as police cars and taxis.

10 million cops and cab driver can't be wrong ;-)
That is just a Crown Vic with a trim package. It is probably the last
of the big cars.

Many cops were dismayed when Ford killed the Crown Vic. They were
comfortable cars. I had a former cop Crown Vic for a while with the
police interceptor package. High miles but it still ran great and
strong. Still had the "cage" behind the front seat but all the fancy
lights were disconnected by law.
