Diesel 1986 Mercury Topaz Ls Sedan 4-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Agency, Iowa, United States
|
I am selling my old Merc Topaz Diesel. It is all original and gets about 40 miles per gallon overall. I can take it down the 4 lane road with the cruise control set at 65 and the air on and do this. It is not a race car. Acceleration is slow but is still fun to drive. I bought it from the original owner to drive to work. The body is pretty rusty on the bottom and needs work if you are going to drive it a lot. I replaced the water pump, glow plugs and fuel line and serviced it when I bought it. It starts well in the winter. Also has a 110V engine heater. In January I replaced the front axle assemblies, RH wheel bearing and ball joints. I also replaced a tie rod end and the LH front caliper and rear brake shoes. The air conditioning works well. 2 electric window are not working. I put on used 14 radials that have approx. 70% tread remaining. I have been driving it and it is ok. The body is rusty and floor panels are perforated. The drive train is decent. I would like to see someone do some work on body/frame if they are to use it. It does run and drives. |

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
