Get it, if only to resell it.
You may be suprised with a motor on an electric seat that doesnt work. Common problem.
Not sure if that area uses much salt on the roads.
It should get 24mpg on the highway.

Get it.. Get it Get it.
Kind of sounds like a car saleman hard at work. Actually, I think about the same. I would probably own 10 PA's if I could afford. The PA fits my body well...they just seem right. I try other cars and they seem cramped. I like my dad's Grand Marquis (he's die hard Ford/M/L), but it doesn't fit my body right. Have tried center shift but they feel claustrophobic. Plus, driving regularly on winter roads it is nice to have a big car.

Another paradox, these big cars really depreciate (note sticker prices...30-35k). In Montana, there is still lots of room for big road cars. The gas problems of recent years hurt the demand for big cars. And here we are talking about 30mpg (maybe we should not say this too loud). If I was in a big city, I may reconsider (liked both those Regals bnaylor). Maybe my preference was "learned" (my dad likes big cars). It is terrible the LeSabre's and PA's and Olds 88/98 were discontinued...they are taking away the more affordable big cars (at least the used ones). For GM, one now is moved toward Cadillac DeVille. The Lucerne seems small to me. Give me a real Great American Full Size Road Car. Thanks.

BTW...TopherS...good info.
