BUT NOW MY PRICE IS $ 5, 4 9 5. ----
THIS CAR IS 1 STEP BELOW THE LINCOLN TOWN-CAR, HAS THE SAME MOTOR ETC., AND THIS OPPORTUNITY ONLY COMES AROUND ONCE IN A BLUE MOON...
THEREFORE , I KNOW $5,495.- IS A VERY FAIR PRICE.... PLEASE, NO TIRE KICKERS, AND NO ALIBI IKE'S WANTED !!
I HAVE NOW PRICED THIS CAR TO SELL. IF ASKED TO GO MUCH LOWER, I'LL KEEP IT FOR MY SUNDAY CHURCH RIDE!
THE REASON IS BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER WITH 64,000 ORIGINAL MILES IN THIS CONDITION, FOR THE SAME PRICE. GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR A CAR IDENTICAL TO THIS.
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. MY DAD PAID $13,000 FOR THIS CAR IN MAY/JUNE - 2005. NOW, MY PRICE IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT HE PAID, AND HE PUT LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THIS CAR FROM 2005 THRU 2010.

THIS CAR IS IMMACULATE!! PRISTINE !!! DURING SNOW STORMS, THIS CAR NEVER SAW THE SALT ROADWAYS...
AND I DOUBT THE BACK SEAT WAS EVER SAT IN. NOBODY HAS EVER SMOKED IN THIS CAR, AS MY DAD PROHIBITED SMOKING IN HIS CAR. AND YOU CAN CHECK THE ASHTRAYS AND SMELL THE INTERIOR FOR YOURSELF.
PERHAPS IF I TOLD YOU THAT MY DAD WAS A FORMER UNITED STATES NAVAL AVIATOR/PILOT, IT WOULD EXPLAIN ALL OF THE ABOVE, OR WHY HE WAS VERY FUSSY AND PARTICULAR ABOUT HIS CAR.
HONESTLY, I THINK IF A DEALER BOUGHT THIS CAR... HE WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO PUT THIS CAR IN HIS SHOWROOM... OR KEEP IT HIMSELF! BECAUSE IT IS THAT NICE!!!
THIS CAR HAS NO EXCUSES, AND THEREFORE NEEDS NO APOLOGIES.
I CALLED A FEW LOCAL LINCOLN/FORD/MERCURY DEALERS IN AUGUST, 2012 AND ONE OF THE DEALERS HAD THE IDENTICAL VEHICLE WITH 54,000 MILES AND I WAS SHOCKED THAT HE WAS ASKING $9,800. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WAY TOO MUCH $$$$. BUT, YOU CAN BUY MINE WITH ONLY 64,000 ORIGINAL MILES FOR THOUSANDS LESS... AT $5,495.00, MY ASKING PRICE IS QUITE REASONABLE WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO A DEALER'S PRICE FOR THE SAME CAR!!! SO WHY GO TO A DEALER AND PAY HIGH RETAIL, OR SPEND MORE OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, WHEN I HAVE THE SAME AUTOMOBILE FOR MUCH LESS MONEY??? ESPECIALLY SO, WHEN YOU COMPARE CONDITION AND OPTIONS THAT THIS AUTOMOBILE HAS, I KNOW IT IS PRICED RIGHT !!!
NOW I HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE TO $5,495.00 . BLAMING THE ECONOMY IS NO ALIBI. BESIDES, THE STOCK MARKET IS BACK UP OVER 15,000!!!
OH YA.. I ALMOST FORGOT... TIRE KICKERS WILL SAY THAT THIS IS A BIG CAR AND GETS LOUSY GAS MILEAGE....
NOT TRUE!! THIS CAR HAS THE SMALLER V8, VERY DESIRED AND RELIABLE, 4.6 LITER, 281 CUBIC INCH, FUEL INJECTED MOTOR, AND GETS BETWEEN 22 - 24 AVG. HIGHWAY MPG!!!
SURE... THIS IS NOT A 30 MPG CAR... BUT, THIS CAR WAS BUILT FOR COMFORT AND TOURING... SO YOU WILL GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!!
THIS CAR IS PERFECT FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE.... OR CAB COMPANY'S .. OR THOSE WHO ARE TRANSPORTERS WHO WANT TO ADD A FRONT-LINE VEHICLE TO YOUR BUSINESS.
THIS CAR CAN BE YOURS SIMPLY BY CALLING MY CELL # 978-884-4312, BETWEEN 9 AM AND 9 PM , EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK, AND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO VIEW THE CAR.... THANK YOU.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According 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.'"
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2
Mon, Jun 5 2023Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
