Your Looking at a 2 owner 1988 Mercury Cougar with only 62,000 original Miles. I have the original registration from 1989. They only made this body style for 2 years 87-88 very few are still around, in fact I could not find another one listed on ebay, let alone one with so few miles. I am the second owner. The car runs and drives good. Interior is nice as well with only minimal wear and fade on drivers seat, & a couple cracks in top of dash pad., the seats are very comfortable and the power lumbar option still works on both seats. The steering wheel leather shows wear on one area other than that interior is spotless.I dont think the back seat was ever even used. The Car has a 5.0L V/8 and has the digital dash option. The car is factory equiped with, dual exhaust (recently replaced) the FORD 8.8 posi traction rear end witha 3.08 ratio which is the rear end of choice. This car is the XR7 without the badges, Ford made them this way for Insurance reasons. Everything works on this car except fo the AC,. It runs and drives out nice and is comforable to sit in and the v8 puts you back in the seat .. a non refundable deposit of 500.00 is expected within 24 hours of sale. Full payment is expected within 5 days, as is pick up of vehicle, unless other arrangements are made with me. I reserve the right to end auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally as well. Good luck.

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.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

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.
