Must See! 1995 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 4.6l Special Edition on 2040-cars
Faribault, Minnesota, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition. Car rides and drives very smooth. A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine. With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range.
Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks, six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support. Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate. It was stolen by some kids. Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued. Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer. Working A/C and heat. Automatic transmission, good size trunk space. (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.) The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota. The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself. I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room. Known issues included are: Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area. The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened. Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off, both sets of the headlights still are functional. And blinkers are operational as well. Car could use a new thermostat soon. Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point. Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off. I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered. Check engine light is on. Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem) CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio. All speakers are still in working condition Just needs a little TLC. No known transmission or engine problems. It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely. I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter. The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for. Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN) Address and directions will be provided to the winner. Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired. I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. NOTE: Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully. Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above. Overall I very good car. A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle. LOW RESERVE Thank you and good luck! |

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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
