I bought this vehicle used 3 years ago, and it was my daily driver.  Since then I have moved to within walking distance of work.  I don't drive this vehicle much any more so it's not worth the cost of repairing the transmission.  Here is a list of the things I have done to the car to keep it up:
- New brake pads on all 4 wheels
- New discs on all 4 wheels
- Rebuilt brake caliper on driver side, new brake caliper on passenger side
- 2 new front axles
- Rebuilt rear differential
- Rebuilt transfer case
- 4 new wheel bearings
- 4 new tires
- Aftermarket in-dash navigation system with backup camera (includes ipod cable)

The broken:
- ABS light on dash
- Parking brake shoes (there aren't any)
- Hood struts don't hold up the hood
- Rear defrost only has one line working
- Transmission only goes in reverse

The body is in good condition for its age.  The interior is in OK condition.  There is a broken trim panel on the driver's side door.  The mileage is low for a 12-year old vehicle.  Winning bidder is to pay $500 non-refundable deposit by paypal.  The balance is due is due within 72 hours of acceptance of the offer.  Please do not submit an offer if your funds are not in place.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

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.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The 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.
