Super clean van inside and out. Hardly used van with only 63,100 miles. These vans are known to run for a quarter million miles, at 63,100 miles this van is not even broken in. These vans have a great reputation for dependability and 5 out of 5 stars according to owner reviews, a fairly amazing factoid. The 3.3 ltr. V6 supplies power through a 4 speed over drive automatic transmission. It runs and drives very nice and shifts as it should. The tires are newer and have great even wearing tread. The battery has been recently replaced and routine fluid changes have been completed. This van has a glove box full of maintenance documentation. The elderly gentleman who previously owned it took very good care of it as well as keeping receipts. The air blows ice cold. The factory radio has been replaced with a new cd player. The interior is exceptionally clean, the exterior has some paint blemishes like chips and scratches but is in good condition. This van is vacation ready and needs nothing but driven. 7 passenger vans as clean as this one that get as good of gas mileage as this one are hard to find. The Mercury Villager and the Nissan Quest for this model are basically the same van and loved by many, I'm sure whoever buys this one will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for looking. This vehicle is being sold with no warranty, written or implied. I looked up this van on Kelly Blue Book.com and discovered it should cost about 3700.00 if bought from a private party and almost 5000.00 if bought from a dealer. I am selling it auction style with a more than fair reserve with hope a nice family in need will give it a new home. Thanks again.

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.

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!

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.
