  Super clean van inside and out. Hardly used van with only 63,100 miles. These vans are known to run for a quarter million miles, at 63,100 miles this van is not even broken in. These vans have a great reputation for dependability and 5 out of 5 stars according to owner reviews, a fairly amazing factoid. The 3.3 ltr. V6 supplies power through a 4 speed over drive automatic transmission. It runs and drives very nice and shifts as it should. The tires are newer and have great even wearing tread. The battery has been recently replaced and routine fluid changes have been completed. This van has a glove box full of maintenance documentation. The elderly gentleman who previously owned it took very good care of it as well as keeping receipts. The air blows ice cold. The factory radio has been replaced with a new cd player. The interior is exceptionally clean, the exterior has some paint blemishes like chips and scratches but is in good condition. This van is vacation ready and needs nothing but driven. 7 passenger vans as clean as this one that get as good of gas mileage as this one are hard to find. The Mercury Villager and the Nissan Quest for this model are basically the same van and loved by many, I'm sure whoever buys this one will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for looking. This vehicle is being sold with no warranty, written or implied. I looked up this van on Kelly Blue Book.com and discovered it should cost about 3700.00 if bought from a private party and almost 5000.00 if bought from a dealer. I am selling it auction style with a more than fair reserve with hope a nice family in need will give it a new home. Thanks again.

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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

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.
