Car drives beautifully--ride is very smooth and alignment perfect. Air is cold. Brakes are crisp and responsive--no mushiness. You will not be disappointed in the way it drives.

Giant trunk and roomy back seat--easily and comfortably carries five adults. Meticulously maintained throughout its life--all recommended services performed, and then some. Firestone FR380 tires have very few miles on them. Never wrecked.

This is a used car, so there are some issues. I believe in full disclosure, so here they are:

--There are some cosmetic defects--minor dings and scuffs here and there, including some very mild hail dings. None of these detract from the vehicle's overall appearance.
--The driver's side rearview mirror is slightly loose but fully functional. It is steady but jiggles slightly while driving. Doesn't make any noise or anything--just jiggles a little.
--One dashboard light is out but there is still enough light from the other lights so it does not materially affect visibility of the the gauges.
--The power window buttons on the passenger and rear doors can be a little finicky. The windows usually work, but you sometimes have to try the buttons two or three times before they engage. Occasionally, they will refuse to lower. I have never had a problem with them not raising once lowered. Also, I have never had any problems at all with the driver's window--it always raises and lowers without any issues.
--The center console has a cover with two hinges, one of which has come loose. It could easily be repaired with a screw.
--The windshield washer doesn't spray strongly enough to reach the windshield.
--The right rear door lock sometimes doesn't unlock fully when pressing the power lock button. It has to be manually raised. All other doors unlock just fine.
--Steering wheel shows some age, so it is covered with a nice black leather cover that goes perfectly with the interior.

The car is sold as-is, with no warranty. Winning bidder must deposit $250 within 24 hours of auction close, with the balance payable IN CASH ONLY within 4 days of auction close. No checks of any kind, including cashier's checks, are acceptable.

Please note that any test drives or inspections must be done PRIOR to placing a bid. Once you bid, you are effectively signing a contract to buy the car and are liable for the amount of your bid. Please do not win the auction and show up expecting a test drive before completing the transaction.

All transactions and test drives will be conducted at my bank in the presence of security.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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.
