1995 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 3.8l- Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Oviedo, Florida, United States
|
For sale is a 1995 Mercury Cougar automobile, beige/ champagne color,
nice paint, 6 cylinder engine, 2 doors, everything is solid
mechanically, and a VERY smooth and comfortable ride, with working ICE
COLD AIR conditioning! The odometer shows 90,000 miles on it, but
noticed it just stopped working a few months back (could maybe be a
loose cable or fuse?), so add a few thousand miles to it, I can verify
the approximate mileage with the title and recent registration papers
(the speedometer and gauges DO work). This car has many nice features like power windows,
power door locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, rear window
defroster, a/c, and very nice bucket seats (no smoking). Seats are in
excellent condition, only 1 spot on the driver's seat 3" long tear/ wear
mark that is a common wear area from rubbing as you go in and out of
the vehicle... and non smoking owner so interior is in excellent shape
and very clean. The car has had regular maintenance, i.e. oil changes
and lube jobs, tune up/ spark plugs, and many new parts/ service within
the last year including: brand new front wheel bearings, rotors and
brakes!, a few new brake lines, new tensioner/ pulley on front of
engine, and a few steering/ stabilizer bars (so the steering is nice and
tight.... and straight!). So basically the entire front end and brakes
are like brand new, about $1,500-$2,000 alone to do all that in a shop.
Stereo is working fine as well.
The car does have some rust on the underside, and at the bottoms of the doors, the passenger side being the most significant. You can repair it with bondo/ fiberglass and it would be fine, but it never bothered me that much and if you can live with (or fix) a little rust, you get a great vehicle for the price. The only other issue is that it needs a power steering line repaired, which recently broke. Hence, the price has been discounted for these things. This vehicle and should provide years of dependable service and make a very nice car. Similar vehicles selling for $3,500+ on CL and Ebay. This is a great car for a great price, very nice ride and comfortable. I'm in Oviedo (East Orlando) area 32766, buyers are welcome to come inspect before auction ends, just send a message with any questions. Cash upon pickup please. |

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.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You 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.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
