Car has extremely low mileage for the year. I've had the car for a couple years to get me back and forth to school and I have a new car now, so this one is taking up space in the drive way. The car has been sitting since last fall.

The Good:
Ice Cold A/C
Newer water pump
Newer thermostat
New dual exhaust system
New Radiator
Low Mileage

The Bad:
Battery dead (needs to be charged from sitting)
Currently it does not have any heat.

Blown head gasket???

When I bought it in 2012 the guy told me the motor was blown up (blown head gasket). I got a good deal on it and had intensions of replacing the motor. The problem was the motor was overheating. I looked further into it and discovered the thermostat was bad and the water pump was bad. I changed those two things and I've been driving it on a daily basis until last fall.

The reason the heat does not work in it is because the previous owner put a bunch of stop leak in the system and the heater core is plugged. I've changed the heater core once and flushed it out multiple times and it's plugged up again.
The brakes need some attention in the front. Tires have about 25% left on them. This car will get you to point A to point B. There is very little rust on the car for it's age. Body is in great shape. There are some scratches and some dings throughout the body. Check engine light on. Car runs smooth. Rocker panels are a little rusty (looks like someone did previous work to them). More Pictures with requests!

The car may or may not have a blown head gasket... I've been driving the car how it is for the past two years now without any problems besides the heat. Then again, it does have stop leak in the system which could be sealing the gasket? Runs and drives great! Very reliable. Clean and clear title in hand.

Vehicle is sold "AS IS" with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up the vehicle. Pick up only! If buyer wants vehicle shipped, it is the buyer's responsibility to come up with a shipping company and cover all shipping costs. I will drive the vehicle to the location of the shipping company if it is in a reasonable distance.

$500 deposit is due within 48hrs of committing to buy. The rest will be due when vehicle is picked up.

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.

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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
