Lansing, Michigan, United States

I'm selling my 2008 Mercury Milan, which is essentially a little higher end Ford Fusion. It is a great car. I am the 2nd owner and I purchased with 24,000 miles on it. It now has 158,000 miles (all highway) on it, but looks and drives like it has 50,000 miles on it. The only reason I'm selling it is that a great deal fell in our lap and now we have too many vehicles in the garage.

I am a technology salesperson so I put on about 35,000 miles per year but take great care of my vehicles. There is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with the vehicle. The only cosmetic issues are a small chip in the windshield that is smaller than 1/4" and somebody bumped my driver's fender in a parking lot. Quotes to get the fender fixed have ranged between $500-$700, but you really don't even notice it at a glance. I put new brakes (rotors & pads) on it less than 4,000 miles ago and the tires are Pirelli 60,000 mile tires with about 10,000 miles on them, so 50,000 of tread left. The only other issue I've had is that the cable behind the driver's interior door handle broke about 3 months ago and I got it fixed immediately (that's obviously not a mechanical issue). The only other things I've had to do to the car is brakes, tires, a battery, and regular oil changes (I have the receipts for those). For reference, my last two cars went 274,000 and 312,000 miles before I gave them away (although they still ran well and looked great).

Options/Highlights:
V6 3.0 Liter
6 speed automatic
Premium alloy wheels (17")
Premium sound system w/6 CD changer, MP3, and plug-in for phone/MP3 player
Power moonroof
Leather interior
Power seats
Heated seats & heated mirrors
All the usual crap in modern cars: air bags, power locks, power windows, power brakes, cruise control, ultra bright halogen lights, automatic headlights, auto-dimming mirror, etc.

Car starts and runs great. Rides very smooth. It has plenty of legroom, as I'm 6'3" and have no issues. Handles great in the winter. Average retail is approximately $9,500. This is a perfect budget car or something safe and reliable for a student.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The 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.

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.
