You are looking at one of the cleanest and nicest cars you will see from the 1990’s decade. My grandmother purchased this car new in 1992 and was hers until her recent death. During the time she was here she almost never drove this car, and it spent most of its time in a garage and under cover. Near the end of her life she never drove the car, in fact it stayed in the garage untouched for many years until she passed away and left it to me. I had to transfer the title from her name to mine during the execution of her will, but since I have put less than around 50 miles on the car, I still consider it to be a one owner car.

This car has never been wrecked or damaged in any way, never been smoked in, and never been repainted. The interior is like a new car, with no stains or markings of any sort. There is no signs of wear anywhere on the seats or carpeting, and as I said, if it were sent to a detail shop for a professional buffing a detail, you would think this is a new car. This car is so nice, I had originally wanted to keep the car for myself and drive it, but due to my lifestyle I have found that it is just sitting here wasting away in my garage, just like it did at my grandmother’s house. This is the only reason I am looking at selling this car.

Once I took possession of the car I found there were several issues I needed to address which are normal for cars which have been sitting for a long period of time. I have replaced the brakes and rebuilt the calipers on all 4 wheels, replaced the muffler and master cylinder. I have also changed the oil and the transmission fluid. I also found the original tires from 1992 were still on the car and needed to be replaced just due to age. At that point I decide I wanted to have larger and wider tires on the car, so I ordered a set of later model 16” aluminum wheels and purchased new tires for those wheels. I have kept the original 15” steel wheels and covers just in case someone wanted them which are in the trunk. When I got the 16” wheels 2 of the center caps were missing and I have not replaced them yet. They are easy to find and can be had new online for about $20.00 each.

This car runs great and I would feel safe driving it anywhere. The air conditioning blows cold air and is working very well. That being said, I feel I need to discuss the transmission and its condition. Though I have not driven the car very much, I have felt the transmission slip a little on the highway while in overdrive. I have not noticed any slipping while in drive just driving around town and not on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to a reputable mechanic who made a complete inspection. Because he removed the pan he again replaced the transmission fluid with new and test drove the car. Once he was done he said that he didn’t believe anything could really be wrong with the transmission other than it just needed to be driven.  He said once the car had someone driving it every day it would more than likely stop slipping at all, and with just 22,000 miles on it there should be nothing internal causing it other than something sticking due to not being driven.

By bidding on this car you agree to pick it up and pay in full with cash money within 2 weeks of the end of the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will answer as quickly as possible.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
