15 years ago, I picked up this non running Convertible. I attempted to repair as time allowed but had no luck. As I got busier, I parked it in the back of my shop and looked at it less and less. 2 years ago I took another look at it and found the simple solution. Its always simple but easily overlooked. I started to drive the car occasionally and slowly serviced the entire car. Flushed the fuel tank and lines, flushed the brake lines and replaced all the brakes, replaced the water pump, thermostat, timing belt and seals. I replaced the tires last September. The A/C is still running cold with the original R12 freon. The body is all original. No accidents. I had the front and rear bumpers repainted as they are plastic and had faded. The paint on the body itself is still all original. The paint work was done in September last year along with a installation of a new convertible soft top. Scored this Spring when I found a hard top in excellent condition. This was painted to match 1 month ago.
The miles are the actual and original miles.
The XR2 Turbo has been in the desert Southwest and has 0% rust.
This is a fun car to drive. Fuel sipping, great MPG car for the daily driver or lightweight powerful turbo kicked Rally car for the weekend.
I have set a reasonable reserve. The car is for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early if the reserve is not hit. I can and have helped with delivery in the past but all expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
Please E-mail any questions or needs before auction ends. I will return calls if you leave a number.
Happy bidding!

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
