 This is a professionally rebuilt salvage California SUV.

Vin # 4M2CU29H18KJ06795   Our original purchase and registration date was on 11/2008 Odometer reading was 10,667 This Hybrid was a rebuild and has a Florida title. The Mariner was originally a California SUV repaired and reviewed by the California state police for correct repair and safety test. Upon purchase in California I drove directly home to Florida with no issues at all. The pictures are very representative of what you will be purchasing. This SUV is a real winner! This SUV has shown to be a very safe and reliable drive!

The Mariner Hybrid offers elegant, well-regarded exterior style, an attractive interior and overall good value along with excellent fuel economy for its class. The 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is a small SUV distinguished by its conservatively elegant styling and good interior comfort. For 2008, the Mariner's body and interior have been redesigned. Most are happy to see the plastic body-side cladding removed and are impressed with the versatile storage features and attractive cabin of the new interior. The fuel economy and responsiveness of the hybrid power-train lifts the Mariner Hybrid above its non-hybrid version. The one of the highest tech feature about the 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is the hybrid power train."

The Mariner Hybrid boasts the best fuel economy in the small SUV class.  As gas prices set new records that's sure to be on the minds of many buyers.

Our use has been exceptional and the reliability has been exceptional. No failures, changed oil every 3 to 5 K miles with synthetic oil.

Tires are in very good shape. I estimate 75% left. The only reason I am selling is that I needed a pickup truck. My other car is a Toyota Prius. Thus I don’t need third vehicle. You won’t be unhappy with this SUV. It is quick in traffic and saves a lot on fuel. I also added a hitch but never use  it. 

I am selling because I purchased a truck for work. No need to use the Mariner for this type of work! I already miss the great mileage.  

No dash warning lights! Very sound driving Hybrid SUV!

As a side note I have just had the SUV professionally detailed for the new owner! Any questions please contact me though e-bay!  Jim

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
