Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States

THIS SHARP 2005 MERCURY SABLE SEDAN HAS HAD JUST TWO NON-SMOKING OWNERS. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. ENGINE IS THE 3.0 DURATEC DOHC V-6 VERSION. EXTERIOR IS FINISHED IN WINDVEIL BLUE, A NEW COLOR IN 2005. MILEAGE IS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY HIGHWAY DRIVING. A FRIEND IN NEW YORK STATE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. I OBTAINED IT JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL TROUBLE-FREE TRIPS BETWEEN PA AND MINNESOTA WITH MINIMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND RESPECTABLE FUEL MILEAGE. (27-28 MPG ON THE INTERSTATES) ON THE MOST RECENT PA TO MN TRIP, THE A/C PERFORMANCE WAS SUBPAR. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME ON THE MINNESOTA END TO GET THIS ANALYZED BEFORE I HAD TO GET BACK TO PA SO IT IS SOMETHING WHICH WILL NEED YOUR ATTENTION. THE SOLE COSMETIC FLAW WORTH NOTING IS A MISSING PIECE OF FRONT BUMPER COVER. THIS IS SHOWN IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS AND WAS NOTICED DURING A COLD SNAP THIS JANUARY. MOST LIKELY, SOMEONE BUMPED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND MATERIAL IN THE BUMPER COVER WAS BRITTLE FROM THE COLD. THIS WAS NOT NOTICED AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MISSING SECTION. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FENDER, GRILLE OR LIGHTS. THE SABLE HAS BOTH A CASSETTE PLAYER AND FACTORY INSTALLED MULTI-DISC CD PLAYER WITH MACH SOUND SYSTEM. THERE IS A POWER SUNROOF, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER DRIVER'S SEAT AND REMOTE TRUNK OPENER. TAN LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN CLOSE TO NEW CAR CONDITION. I HAVE A CLEAN MINNESOTA TITLE IN MY NAME. THIS SABLE MAY BE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT IN OAKDALE, MINNESOTA, AN EASTERN SUBURB OF SAINT PAUL YOU MAY REACH ME AT 814-512-0083.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford 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.
