2003 Mercury Mountaineer. Kelley Blue Book value with current mileage (248K) is $5379 in FAIR condition, though I would really rate it as better than FAIR. You can tell by looking at it that this car has been well taken care of with routine maintenance and oil changes within every 4000 miles. New front tires, rear tires pass inspection. The engine was rebuilt at about 190K by my father and brother (dad is a mechanic). Runs beautifully, but torque converter is noisy which is a sign that it may need transmission work in the not too distant future. This is part of the reason we are starting the bidding so low (the other part is that we simply need the cash ASAP). We got a quote on a replacement remanufactured transmission with installation at about $1500. I would like to note once more that the car runs and drives great! We drive it regularly and have had no mechanical issues.
Being an older, High-mileage vehicle it does have some defects: -6-disc CD changer works when it wants to. -Seat heater switch is broken. Must pull fuse to turn the heat off. -Tear in driver's seat (see picture) -2 patches of rust on passenger's side quarter panel. One was treated and primed in black, other is untouched. -Minor oil leak. Not sure from where. Now for the PROS: -Cosmetically in excellent condition inside and out. -All power options work perfectly unless otherwise noted above. -9/14 inspection. -Front tires have less than 300 miles on them. -Engine runs beautifully! -Doesn't burn any oil. |

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford 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.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
