2002 Mercury Cougar XR Special Edition

Original Owner
Only 72280 Miles


I am the original owner.   The vehicle is all original and has been well maintained.  This was the last year for the Cougar.   It's also worth noting that this car was purchased new in May of 2003... and was likely one of the last Cougar's sold.   The dealer had been holding firm on the price and consequently it did not sale for a few years.   So while it is a 2002 Car, it sat in a showroom until mid 2003 before being sold (to us).

Overall Condition:
First and foremost, please see the pictures for the best indicator of the condition.   Overall the car looks very good inside and out.   We purchased it because my wife really liked it, and she drove it most of the time until our child was born.   At that point I started driving it so she could take the Tahoe (safer arrangement for a car seat).   It's been well maintained, but was a daily driver.  Tires have a decent amount of tread left.   Normal small dings here and there that would be expected on a car with this age and mileage.    

Issues:
1.  There is a crack on the rear spoiler (see closeup picture).  Caused when we mistakenly left the trunk open and pulled out of the garage.  The spoiler hit the garage door.
2.  I curbed the car coming out of a parking garage.   This left a scuff on the drivers side of the front bumper (see pics, it's right at the bottom of the bumper).  I had the suspension arm replaced on that side afterwords just to be safe (I think it had a scrape / scuff on it).   This isn't an issue, just noting so the buyer has a complete background on the car.



If you have any questions or would like to come inspect the vehicle please contact me through eBay.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
