Versatility:

-Cleans up nice- a respectable looking vehicle with good bones and great lines,

feels current- As far as the upgrade possibilities-

the customizations I've seen online are sharp and slick!

This car can accept a Duratec DOHC V6 or V8 SHO Engine-

now seen on ebay for Cheap!

Some guy fitted his Sable with a 32 Valve V8 SHO Taurus Engine

It can be a good project sled to upgrade and customize- I've sourced and priced parts for this car from various parts vendors, and, for example, a used or rebuilt V4, V6 or V8 engine can be had for not as much as you'd think (if that's ever needed)

But it's also a good Family car that Seats Five, is Safe, and has Practical Features-

It has Austere Good Looks, Subtly Sophisticated in Black and has Room for your Life 

 

History:

-This Beautiful Sable has been garaged at night it's entire life, save for vacations and whatnot

The Interior of the car is Excellent. This was my Mom's car and she babied it

I've only had it since 2010, and the owner before her only put 16,000 on it

Regular maintenance has always been done, and we've kept all of the service records

I keep oiling and washing it and giving it love, but it's really not in use

It's only been sitting in my garage for several months.

My Mechanic has told me the seals need to be replaced to get compression back.

Repairs as follows can be made at intervals, to get the car up and running immediately.

The main issue is to replace the seals and keep the Engine from sputtering.

 

 

The Bad (your bargaining chips):

Known Issues:

1. -Two bits of Rust (One at the Trunk, near the chrome trim, and one at the crest of the wheel well on the driver's side rear wheel)

2. -Needs a General Electronic Module  (GEM - part around $100-250, Labor ? -and, according to the instructions, pretty easy)

The GEM controls the Stereo AM/FM Radio/CD Player, Clock, Speedometer and Odometer, which are currently not working because of it-

I have stopped driving it for this reason (regarding odometer reading- the GEM will reveal true Mileage)

- but the instruments technically work- it's simply the GEM that needs to be replaced*

3. -Cruise Control not engaging*

4. -One Rear Window not opening*

Rear Window Motor or some other issue may exist (unknown) The rest of the windows work fine

*(*asterik indicates these may be GEM issues, and might be restored after GEM is functioning –{unknown})

5. -Down the road, the front Brakes may need updating, and the drums are ugly, but functioning

6. -The compression is bad, needs Seals replaced, but it seems the engine is otherwise o.k., low miles

 

7. -Keep in mind this car isn't running right now, I've detached the battery!

-------> Arrange for Towing to your home or garage,

OR

maybe I can give you a free one way tow with my Auto Club to within 50 miles of the 91205 Zip Code.


- The insurance is still current and will be until the completion of sale. 

This is NOT a DMV Non-Operational, and has not been registered as such, as of yet.

The tags are good until April 2014.

This is a functional vehicle that needs someone to invest a little green for a lot of car in return.

 

 

Let's Deal!

 

This has been an exceptional car

We love the Sable, and All Ford Family Cars (we have another Ford),

It’s just that we can get by without a second car

It's a luxurious vehicle with a smooth, quiet ride and decent gas mileage, especially on the highway

It's a solid piece of American Steel and is safe and practical

It cleans up nice and has a nice get up and go on the freeway

It's in the garage and will remain there until the right buyer comes along

We're not desperate to sell, but we are open to offers, but no low-ballers, please

Make a reasonable offer and we'll let it go for the right buyer

 

I arrived at the $2000 because this car, minus the estimates for repairs, is in Really Decent Condition Overall.

 

Make an Offer!

 

Contact the email and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it.

 

Thanks for looking!

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
