1995 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 3.8l- Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Oviedo, Florida, United States
For sale is a 1995 Mercury Cougar automobile, beige/ champagne color,
nice paint, 6 cylinder engine, 2 doors, everything is solid
mechanically, and a VERY smooth and comfortable ride, with working ICE
COLD AIR conditioning! The odometer shows 90,000 miles on it, but
noticed it just stopped working a few months back (could maybe be a
loose cable or fuse?), so add a few thousand miles to it, I can verify
the approximate mileage with the title and recent registration papers
(the speedometer and gauges DO work). This car has many nice features like power windows,
power door locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, rear window
defroster, a/c, and very nice bucket seats (no smoking). Seats are in
excellent condition, only 1 spot on the driver's seat 3" long tear/ wear
mark that is a common wear area from rubbing as you go in and out of
the vehicle... and non smoking owner so interior is in excellent shape
and very clean. The car has had regular maintenance, i.e. oil changes
and lube jobs, tune up/ spark plugs, and many new parts/ service within
the last year including: brand new front wheel bearings, rotors and
brakes!, a few new brake lines, new tensioner/ pulley on front of
engine, and a few steering/ stabilizer bars (so the steering is nice and
tight.... and straight!). So basically the entire front end and brakes
are like brand new, about $1,500-$2,000 alone to do all that in a shop.
Stereo is working fine as well.
The car does have some rust on the underside, and at the bottoms of the doors, the passenger side being the most significant. You can repair it with bondo/ fiberglass and it would be fine, but it never bothered me that much and if you can live with (or fix) a little rust, you get a great vehicle for the price. The only other issue is that it needs a power steering line repaired, which recently broke. Hence, the price has been discounted for these things. This vehicle and should provide years of dependable service and make a very nice car. Similar vehicles selling for $3,500+ on CL and Ebay. This is a great car for a great price, very nice ride and comfortable. I'm in Oviedo (East Orlando) area 32766, buyers are welcome to come inspect before auction ends, just send a message with any questions. Cash upon pickup please. |

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.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
