Picked this up yesterday for my Grandpa. He was wanting something a little different from his beige '02 LeSabre, so we starting looking at other Buicks and Grand Marquis'.

Found this cherry '02 Grand Marquis LSE - a rare trimline offered in '02, '04, and '05 in limited numbers as a precursor to the Marauder. It was the only way to get bucket seats/console (with leather & power seats both sides), paired with 3.27 gears, Performance Handling package (heavy duty springs/shocks, load leveling rear suspension, BBS-style 16" alloys, rear sway bar & thicker front sway bar), along with the police-spec motor/HD cooling & brakes with full dual exhaust. It's the Mercury equivalent to the Crown Victoria LX Sport, and offers nearly everything the Marauder does except for trim/body/wheel upgrades and the hotter aluminum 32V motor. Experts say there was only about 1 LSE per dealer, probably 1500-ish per year. They're badged as an LS, with the only LSE badging being embroidered on the floor mats (have the original set in the trunk).

Anyways, it's got everything including power & auto everything, 6CD changer, auto temp control, etc. Totally immaculate 2 owner car that was enthusiast owned, has a new set of tires, just an awesome car. Runs and drives like new, has 118k miles.

Pics do not do this car justice....the paint and body and interior are in near showroom condition.

Very nice find! I bet grandpa surprises a few at the stop lite with his "new ride". LOL! I wouldn't mind having one of those myself in that condition. - BC

That's a great find. I've certainly never seen a Grand Marquis with bucket seats before.
