The Best Mark VIII

[ALBUNDY]

I like the 96 but prefer some of the cosmetics of the 97-98 like the grill. I really don't like the chrome grills of the earlier model therefore I won't rob the jewlery store to make me a (chrome)grill. Ha Haaaa.

just an fyi,97-97 gen ii's have chrome grills too,if they are not LSC's

Whatever you do, make sure you have a couple grand sitting around for replacement parts and repairs, otherwise don't bother. These things aren't miracle cars. They will and do fall apart. That's why it's smart to stick close to this forum.

Right - you are going to have some issues. Usually air ride, and be prepared to get the 1 2 accumulator fixed.

But if you shop around you can find good ones out there. Just don't let someone screw you on the price. I wouldn't pay much over $3000 for a gen 1 and not much more than $5000 for a gen 2. If you seak you will find. Don't worry too much about miles. The last for a long time.

If someone does not buy Gman's 93 with HID's, new airbags, suspension pieces and only 50,000 miles for $3500 soon I am going to scream.

Oh if I had the money I would.

That car needs to sell. Right Price, good condition. I don't need another one right now. I wish I did or could...

well, thanks for the input guys....
so it seems that '96 is the best year of gen I and 98 is the best for gen II.

call me biased, but out of the 10 Marks I looked at back in 1999, I was most happy with my 1994, It was faster than even the 93 I drove, it was the also a 1 owner non- smoker car, always garaged. the guy that owned it before me was 59 years old.

with 3 marks to drive i still love the 94 5speed . wish i hadn't let that guardrail eat the white 93. mike lets me drive his 98 and 95 when we get it done . of the four i like the way the 94 seats feel like they are higher than the 98. if you go with a gen1 swap for hids is a major plus.

I just bought my MARK VIII a couple of months ago. It's a 95 and I love it! As far as looks go I really like the 97-98. If it's clean and the price is right then buy it. good luck finding one.
