Hello! Please review pictures of the vehicle that I took during and after the flood. Before the flood, the car was running great, with no mechanical issues. It had a tune up, overhaul of the transmission, and a replaced radiator several years back. It needed a paint job - especially in the back (trunk, top), had a lot of tears on the interior ceiling, and a few broken interior trimmings, but all else was in good shape (please see photos of how clean and in good shape the dash board, door interiors, etc. are). On 9/12 we were evacuated from our home because of flooding. The photos of the vehicle in the flood water show the maximum height that the waters reached. It was flooded this way for six days. Upon return home to inspect the car, the battery was completely dead, and I heard that you should not try to start a vehicle that was in a flood, anyway, until it can be serviced (I have not taken it in for servicing). I have left all doors (including trunk) open for multiple days, trying to dry everything out, but there is a strong moldy / mildew smell inside the cab and trunk, and visible metal areas of the interior (under seats, etc) are showing rust. Exterior body is in great shape. No rust showing on exterior except for a small bit on the rear passenger fender (see photos). Windshield has multiple cracks. All other glass, lights, etc. is intact. Tires are in good shape with low miles. Serpentine belt is like-new. Car had regular oil changes / servicing.Two of the four hubcaps are complete, one is partial, one is missing. This is a great car to either restore or part out, but I do not have the time (or funds) to do either, so I am hoping someone else would be interested. Being sold as is, with no warranties, etc. Please ask any questions before you bid. Thanks for looking! |

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!
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

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.'"
