2003 Mercury Mountaineer Premier Edition Awd 4x4 Suv Loaded Leather Needs Work on 2040-cars

Engine starts right up but makes a ticking noise from what sounds like the top end.  181k miles. Check engine light is on pertaining to a missfire.  Transmission shifts into and through all gears.  Otherwise was a nice running and driving vehicle before this.  I am not sure the specific issue or the extent of the repair(s) required.  Being sold as having engine issues and as-is.    

Exterior     

Paint has most of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  There are some scratches and minor blemishes here and there around the body. No major dents or damage. Overall nice condition for the year and mileage.

Interior

Interior is in good condition with average wear.  Fully loaded with power options, roof, 3rd row, etc.  Some scuffs on the panels, mostly in the cargo area and some normal wear on the front driver seat. Carpets and seats and not shredded ripped.

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining. Factory set of alloy wheels.
