I'm selling my 2008 Mercury Milan, which is essentially a little higher end Ford Fusion. It is a great car. I am the 2nd owner and I purchased with 24,000 miles on it. It now has 158,000 miles (all highway) on it, but looks and drives like it has 50,000 miles on it. The only reason I'm selling it is that a great deal fell in our lap and now we have too many vehicles in the garage.

I am a technology salesperson so I put on about 35,000 miles per year but take great care of my vehicles. There is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with the vehicle. The only cosmetic issues are a small chip in the windshield that is smaller than 1/4" and somebody bumped my driver's fender in a parking lot. Quotes to get the fender fixed have ranged between $500-$700, but you really don't even notice it at a glance. I put new brakes (rotors & pads) on it less than 4,000 miles ago and the tires are Pirelli 60,000 mile tires with about 10,000 miles on them, so 50,000 of tread left. The only other issue I've had is that the cable behind the driver's interior door handle broke about 3 months ago and I got it fixed immediately (that's obviously not a mechanical issue). The only other things I've had to do to the car is brakes, tires, a battery, and regular oil changes (I have the receipts for those). For reference, my last two cars went 274,000 and 312,000 miles before I gave them away (although they still ran well and looked great).

Options/Highlights:
V6 3.0 Liter
6 speed automatic
Premium alloy wheels (17")
Premium sound system w/6 CD changer, MP3, and plug-in for phone/MP3 player
Power moonroof
Leather interior
Power seats
Heated seats & heated mirrors
All the usual crap in modern cars: air bags, power locks, power windows, power brakes, cruise control, ultra bright halogen lights, automatic headlights, auto-dimming mirror, etc.

Car starts and runs great. Rides very smooth. It has plenty of legroom, as I'm 6'3" and have no issues. Handles great in the winter. Average retail is approximately $9,500. This is a perfect budget car or something safe and reliable for a student.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The 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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
