Only 56,000 original miles!!!!  It looks like a car with only 56k and drives like a car with only 56k!!!  I have a Carfax to prove it and you can look at the enclosed Autocheck report too.

Very good looking car in very good running condition.

Yes, this car starts runs and drives great. 

Mechanics:  Motor and transmission are very good.    

Exterior:  Paint and tires are in very good condition.  Paint is faded in a few spots near the roof, but very good overall.  There is a very minor dent in drivers' door that's barely noticeable (see photo).  I'm not sure you'd even notice it if you didn't know it was there.

Interior:  In very good shape.  Front seats are covered, but look very good underneath too.  Rear / backseat power windows are closed, but don't go down - likely a simple fix.  Headliner is missing.  Car has a 3rd row seat that folds flat and a hideaway picnic table in the back too (see photos).  Backseat also folds down for extra cargo room.   

Car came from NJ and the NJ inspection sticker on the windshield is valid until December 2014 (15 more months). 

Car also passed DE inspection last week and I have the "Passed" paperwork, so a DE buyer can tag / register it for 2 years in DE without needing inspection.  You could also tag it as an antique, if you'd like. 

Car has 2 needs:

1.  Although the car just passed inspection, it likely needs rear brakes.  It can still be driven carefully as is (brakes passed inspection).

2.  I've been taking the negative battery cable off at night because something is draining it - maybe an interior light or something.

Will make a nice driver with a little attention.

I've tried to detail the condition of this car as openly and as honestly as I can, but I may of course missed minor details and / or minor imperfections. 

As with any used car, the car is for sale as-is.

If you have any questions, please ask me.  I want you to feel comfortable with your bid / purchase.

I require a $100 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of auction's close.  The balance is due within 7 days, cash in-person.  Car is to be picked up within 14 days of auction's close.  If you need more time to pickup the car, once paid, I can likely store it for you for longer for a monthly fee - please contact me if you need to make those arrangements.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You 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.
