This 2002 Mercury Mountaineer is being sold by the original owner in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The vehicle has been treated well and maintained properly, and is in good condition with 96,000 miles. The vehicle has been owned by a non-smoking family. The interior is clean. The interior is leather. Seating surfaces show signs of minor wear, have no holes or burns. The carpeting is in good shape with the exception of where the driver's right foot plants for acceleration. The air conditioning works great and delivers icy cold air into the cabin via automatic climate control (driver and passenger control).
The engine runs really well. Shifting is smooth. Acceleration is strong and without hesitation. All Wheel Drive works perfectly. Antilock brakes work perfectly as well. A brand new windshield was installed just 20 miles ago as a bonus to the new owner. Oil has been changed in the vehicle every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, including just 20 miles ago. Air filter changed 20 miles ago too. Transmission fluid changed once at 40,000 miles or so. Brakes pads are good and don't need attention. Michelin tires are in good condition and have plenty of tread remaining.
SUV comes with factory equipped Class III trailer towing package. Vehicle has never been used to tow anything other than small utility trailer. The SUV runs well enough to reliably tow a boat or a small camper with ease.
This car has served me and my family well. The only reason I am selling it is because it was time for us to get a new vehicle. This a good vehicle and I wouldn't hesitate to take my family on a long trip in it.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
