Saint Augustine, Florida, United States

Saint Augustine, Florida, United States

This vehicle was purchased from an estate with 89K miles on it. I have driven it aprox. 4K miles maintenance free. I have traveled in it to NC, WVA and GA and have had no issues with it. This car is loaded to the gills and has been owned by an elderly couple, he died in 2010 and it was placed in her name. The A/C is climate control and will freeze you out. One of the issues I have seen with the car is the fact they never used the windows and the armatures are rust covered and you have to assist them just a bit. Once worked for awhile im sure they will be fine. The window regulator on the drivers window I believe is bad. This is a pretty car with very minimal wear on it, paint is in great shape, trunk deck has some tree sap on it but I have most of that off. The tires are new and a full size spare, with steel wheel. The wheels on the car are aluminum and in good shape. This has been a non smoking car. Carpet good with what looks to be still the original floor mats. s vehicle has a complete digital cluster in it, all in working order. Every now and then the alt light will come on and then goes off in about 3 min. I have had battery and alt checked out and no problems. This vehicle has P/S P/B P/WIN PWR SEATS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER,PWR/MIRRORS REAR WIND DEF PWR DOOR LOCKS LEATHER SEATS FRONT AND BACK 60/40 IN FRONT WITH ARM REST FULL CARPET WITH SOUND BARRIER A/C WITH CLIMATE CONTROL ALL IN WORKING ORDER Cruise control  While driving this vehicle the cluster stated it was getting 31 MPG , when I filled it up it was 30 MPG on the road, never checked in town fuel mileage. This would make a good primary car, or a good car for the kids or wife, most kids refuse to drive a boat this size so I have purchase a older cavalier for my daughter, now she is happy and im hung with a car I don't need. Located in Northern Florida, I would drive this car anywhere in the US. 500.00 deposit required with in 24 hrs. of being awarded the bid. Vehicle is being advertised locally, auction can be ended at sellers  choice.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

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."
