1993 Mercury Grand Marquis Ls Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:95000 Color: is rock solid and all the original paint is intact with no bubbling or rust
Location:

Salisbury, Maryland, United States

This classic Mercury is guaranteed to have less than 100,000 original miles, although the odometer recently stopped functioning.  The car was purchased new in Cape Charles, Virginia by the original owners and has remained in their family until I purchased it from their son, who is a personal friend and drove it for a short time before selling to me while settling his late parent's estate.  This car truly is a rare gem.

LS Trim includes the beautiful burgundy leather seats which can be seen in the pictures and are in near-perfect condition.  All leather has been cleaned and conditioned and will last for many years to come.  The interior is perfect with the exception of a few stains on the carpets.  The headliner is totally intact and in perfect condition.  (see pictures)  The dash board, doors and all trim and interior/exterior lights are intact and in working order.  The electric radio antennae mast works perfectly and the AM/FM radio is in "as new" excellent working condition.  All speakers function perfectly with no distortion.  The original owner's manual is in the glove box.  This car was never abused in any way and literally was driven by a retired couple its entire life.

The shiny black exterior is rock solid and all the original paint is intact with no bubbling or rust.  I have been under the car and all panels are solid and rust-free.  The car has never been driven on salt treated roads and spent its entire life south of the Mason Dixon.  There are some minor surface scratches but all the sheet metal is strait and there are no dents, cracks or missing moldings or exterior trim.

Known items that do not currently work:

  • The rear electric window regulators are not engaging.  I had the driver's side front window regulator replaced in December, 2013 and both front electric windows function fine.
  • All electric seat functions are in working order for both drive and passenger front split bench seats.
  • The A/C needs recharging but heat, defroster, etc. are working like new.
  • The "air bag" dummy light is flashing.  I'm not sure what is causing this.  Could be a bad sensor.  The airbags have never been deployed.  This car has incredibly straight sheet metal and has never been damaged in any way.
  • The engine fires up immediately and runs smoothly.  A new battery has just been installed.  The car hesitates briefly when cold but runs smooth as silk when warmed up.
  • The steering is tight and I just had the outer steering control arms replaced.  All other steering and suspension components were checked out and are fine.
  • The serpentine engine belt was replaced and all other belts checked out fine.
  • All brake linings were inspected and are like new.  
  • All four electric door locks are functioning fine.
  • The button cap for the electric fuel door opener is missing but the fuel door can be manually operated with no problem.
  • The electric trunk release is working fine.
  • The exhaust system is solid and quiet and has passed inspection.

This car will provide comfortable and reliable transportation for years to come, or will be an excellent addition to a classic collection.  The Grand Marquis is the upmarket equivalent of the Ford Crown Victoria and there are still thousands of these cars on the American road.  New and used parts are plentiful and easily accessible if needed.  My father has owned three Crown Vic's and has always boasted of 25-27 mpg on the highway and 20+ mpg overall with this V8 engine.  Ride and comfort is remarkably smooth.

The car can be seen and test driven by appointment in Salisbury, MD.

 Hello Bidders:  Thank you for your interest in this car.  The minimum is set at $1,950 and this car is worth much more.  It is a steal at this price and if the minimum is not reached on this auction the car will be kept, and not be relisted as this is the second attempt.  Thanks for your interest.  Now you know what it will take to buy it!

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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.

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators

Fri, Jan 4 2019

DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:
