Only 56,000 original miles!!!!  It looks like a car with only 56k and drives like a car with only 56k!!!  I have a Carfax to prove it and you can look at the enclosed Autocheck report too.

Very good looking car in very good running condition.

Yes, this car starts runs and drives great. 

Mechanics:  Motor and transmission are very good.    

Exterior:  Paint and tires are in very good condition.  Paint is faded in a few spots near the roof, but very good overall.  There is a very minor dent in drivers' door that's barely noticeable (see photo).  I'm not sure you'd even notice it if you didn't know it was there.

Interior:  In very good shape.  Front seats are covered, but look very good underneath too.  Rear / backseat power windows are closed, but don't go down - likely a simple fix.  Headliner is missing.  Car has a 3rd row seat that folds flat and a hideaway picnic table in the back too (see photos).  Backseat also folds down for extra cargo room.   

Car came from NJ and the NJ inspection sticker on the windshield is valid until December 2014 (15 more months). 

Car also passed DE inspection last week and I have the "Passed" paperwork, so a DE buyer can tag / register it for 2 years in DE without needing inspection.  You could also tag it as an antique, if you'd like. 

Car has 2 needs:

1.  Although the car just passed inspection, it likely needs rear brakes.  It can still be driven carefully as is (brakes passed inspection).

2.  I've been taking the negative battery cable off at night because something is draining it - maybe an interior light or something.

Will make a nice driver with a little attention.

I've tried to detail the condition of this car as openly and as honestly as I can, but I may of course missed minor details and / or minor imperfections. 

As with any used car, the car is for sale as-is.

If you have any questions, please ask me.  I want you to feel comfortable with your bid / purchase.

I require a $100 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of auction's close.  The balance is due within 7 days, cash in-person.  Car is to be picked up within 14 days of auction's close.  If you need more time to pickup the car, once paid, I can likely store it for you for longer for a monthly fee - please contact me if you need to make those arrangements.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

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!

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.
