Car has extremely low mileage for the year. I've had the car for a couple years to get me back and forth to school and I have a new car now, so this one is taking up space in the drive way. The car has been sitting since last fall.

The Good:
Ice Cold A/C
Newer water pump
Newer thermostat
New dual exhaust system
New Radiator
Low Mileage

The Bad:
Battery dead (needs to be charged from sitting)
Currently it does not have any heat.

Blown head gasket???

When I bought it in 2012 the guy told me the motor was blown up (blown head gasket). I got a good deal on it and had intensions of replacing the motor. The problem was the motor was overheating. I looked further into it and discovered the thermostat was bad and the water pump was bad. I changed those two things and I've been driving it on a daily basis until last fall.

The reason the heat does not work in it is because the previous owner put a bunch of stop leak in the system and the heater core is plugged. I've changed the heater core once and flushed it out multiple times and it's plugged up again.
The brakes need some attention in the front. Tires have about 25% left on them. This car will get you to point A to point B. There is very little rust on the car for it's age. Body is in great shape. There are some scratches and some dings throughout the body. Check engine light on. Car runs smooth. Rocker panels are a little rusty (looks like someone did previous work to them). More Pictures with requests!

The car may or may not have a blown head gasket... I've been driving the car how it is for the past two years now without any problems besides the heat. Then again, it does have stop leak in the system which could be sealing the gasket? Runs and drives great! Very reliable. Clean and clear title in hand.

Vehicle is sold "AS IS" with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up the vehicle. Pick up only! If buyer wants vehicle shipped, it is the buyer's responsibility to come up with a shipping company and cover all shipping costs. I will drive the vehicle to the location of the shipping company if it is in a reasonable distance.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There 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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
