The steel wheels will bend if you hit a curb whereas the alloy rims may crack or break. In Canada that is an important thing. I enjoy living in Texas, without snow. I have 17" Lincoln alloys on mine, year round.

We have had a 2004 Grand Marquis in the family for 15 years. It has only 62 thousand miles. What should I watch for it has had new front control arms, new everything on the front of the engine, new water pump and hoses. I have replaced heater hoses and new air bag suspension. . Flushed brake fluid and power steering. My wife got the Mazda CX-9 2019 lease. I have to “make do” with a stock 2009 Miata MX-5 Stick with Power retractible Hard Top and The low miles Grand Marquis LS. I want to drive it for several years as we pay down debt. The intake manifold was replaced under factory “hidden” recall some 12 years ago, at that time I worked at a Lincoln Mercury store in San Antonio.
