2001 Mercury Sable Ls Premium - Xln't Condition - Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Vista, California, United States
|
This has been a very good and reliable car for us. We just finally bought a new car so this is now available. We live in a suburb of San Diego, in No. County, close to the beginning of entering the city. Our adult son previously owned this; we've had it for over 8 years, I believe. It has never been in an accident and no cigarette smokers have ever smoked in this car! I drive it probably 200 miles a month - I'm getting up there in age, I guess. Has two tiny dings: one on rear side door on driver's side and another on same side over wheel well (both pictured). Only other finish complaint is a small crease (6" long?) below driver's door, pictured but hard to notice. Otherwise, paint is virtually perfect - no peeling, fading, etc. Still very glossy. Tires are xln't (Michelin) and have a loooooong time to go yet. A/C compressor and serpentine belt was replaced in Nov., 2013 - almost $1,000 - so it's also xln't & freezing cold when needed and the fuel pump was replaced two months ago ($450). Interior is also superior as pics indicate. Some cracking of the leather on driver's seat but only on the leading edge of the seat in the area closest to the door, otherwise all terrific condition. I'm a very honest person (probably too much so) so I'm listing ANYTHING I can think of that you would want to know about this car that is less than perfect: there is some moisture behind plastic lens on headlight on passenger side; there is a small drip of oil underneath vehicle that we've had for 2 years but it's so slow that it doesn't "pay" to have the seal (I guess) replaced. My husband never has to fill the oil tank because of it. The light for the radiator water sensor comes on most of the time. It is due to the sensor not working right. Whenever we lift the hood and slightly "adjust/move" the large, white plastic container that holds the water overflow for the radiator, then the light goes off but as soon as the car goes over a bump, it returns and comes back on. It's done it for 10 years. Not worth fixing. Although I never have to change the driver's seat position, the power seat doesn't always want to move forward or back unless you press your foot down hard on the foot rest area. The rear seat-backs fold down - either for raising up a child seat (I'm presuming) but certainly to carry something long in the trunk and protrude through the opening into the rear cabin ... skis? wood? supplies? In the center console that has a pop-up and padded armrest, you will find the 6-disc CD player - I've never used it but my son said it always worked great. What I really love about this car is that it's fun to drive - you really get a "feel" for the road, like a sports car, and it has a LOT of zip. If you suddenly need to step on the accelerator, you know it will respond with a lot of guts - that gives me a lot of security. The registration is paid until mid-July. Car has ALWAYS passed smog test; buyer will pay for any new smog certificate.
If you have ANY questions about this car, please call and ask questions, AFTER 10:30 a.m. PST, at: 760-758-9222. You are certainly welcome to email any of your questions, also. If you want additional photos, just ask. You are welcome to make an appointment with me to test-drive and inspect this car prior to bidding - however, once the auction is over, the sale is FINAL. This car is running beautifully - I have NO complaints whatsoever. I've tried my best to describe it as honestly as possible but common sense dictates that it is sold in an "as is" condition as I have no control over what you might do to the car once you have possession of it. |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The 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.
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.
