Your Looking at a 2 owner 1988 Mercury Cougar with only 62,000 original Miles. I have the original registration from 1989. They only made this body style for 2 years 87-88 very few are still around, in fact I could not find another one listed on ebay, let alone one with so few miles. I am the second owner. The car runs and drives good. Interior is nice as well with only minimal wear and fade on drivers seat, & a couple cracks in top of dash pad., the seats are very comfortable and the power lumbar option still works on both seats. The steering wheel leather shows wear on one area other than that interior is spotless.I dont think the back seat was ever even used. The Car has a 5.0L V/8 and has the digital dash option. The car is factory equiped with, dual exhaust (recently replaced) the FORD 8.8 posi traction rear end witha 3.08 ratio which is the rear end of choice. This car is the XR7 without the badges, Ford made them this way for Insurance reasons. Everything works on this car except fo the AC,. It runs and drives out nice and is comforable to sit in and the v8 puts you back in the seat .. a non refundable deposit of 500.00 is expected within 24 hours of sale. Full payment is expected within 5 days, as is pick up of vehicle, unless other arrangements are made with me. I reserve the right to end auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally as well. Good luck.

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?
Fri, Oct 23 2015In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A 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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
