I have owned this car for about 2 years. I am an ASE mechanic. About 5 thousand miles ago I put rings, rod, and main bearings in the motor. I also replaced 5 valves I did not like and ground the valves. I drove it the 5 thousand miles as a toy than had it painted. I got it back about a year ago and it has sat in the garage since then. My wife doesn't like to ride with the top down which is why I bought it. I left the hard top on because I did not want to risk scratching the paint. I replaced the convertible top when I bought it and it is in like new condition as it spent most of it's life in the garage. I also replaced the carpeting with molded carpeting of original color. Everything works including the pop up headlights. I replaced the brakes and struts when I first bought the car. This is a nice cruise around town car but I would not suggest buying it for regular interstate driving as these cars are low geared. I would expect to be paid within 7 days of purchase and cash or postal money orders. My phone number is 618-367-2443 and I get off work at 5:00 p.m. I go to bed early so please do not call after 8:30 pm. I have put quite a few dollars in this car so there is a reserve although it is less than I have invested. Thanks Frank

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
