1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan - a seven (7) passenger wagon. Same as a Nissan Quest (see the blurb below) with a bulletproof, non-interference Maxima 3.0L V-6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission. (see photos). Although the van is running fine and drivable, it was hit and needs left-front fender, side light and mechanical attention to the left-front suspension because a part appears to be bent enough that the tire rubs lightly when turned.

Absolutely NO RUST, NO CORROSION, NO LEAKS or DRIPPING FLUIDS.

The Villager LS unit came standard with Power Steering, Tilt Wheel with built-in Cruise Controls, Digital Instrument Cluster, Alloy Wheels, ABS 4-Wheel, Keyless Entry, Privacy Glass, upgraded and luxury interior and upholstery (which is in very good condition) with special appointments and trim, inside and out. There are no tears or excessive wear. Can't find the sun visors; they broke off years ago.
No leaks or dripping fluid. Nice stereo system. Side-mounted rear A/C and heater controls. Exhaust system has not been modified and is very quiet.
Center seating is the optional, removable Captain's Chairs which can also be used in the rear (see table feature below). Rear bench seat folds up and can be positioned anywhere along the tracks, even up against the back of the front Captain's Chairs. This provides a huge cargo area which is accessible from the rear hatch or side entrance and ample space for a camping mattress in a five (5) passenger vehicle. Also, the rear bench seat folds down to provide a table feature with drink holders which can be slid to the rear or the mid section. When slid forward, you can then install the removable Captain's Chairs to the rear of the seat tracks, allowing all passengers to use for dining and game playing.
Roof rack is complete, adjustable and fully functional.
This wagon was well taken care of before it was hit. Total, verifiable mileage is only 171,161. Clear/clean title ready to go. Thank you for looking at this 1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan/wagon with left-front damage.

Here's a few notes on the Mercury Villager minivans:

Manufactured and sold by Ford for model years 1993-2002, it is a re-badged and slightly re-designed variant of the Nissan Quest. The Villager was the product of a joint venture between Ford and Nissan and was built at Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. It was Mercury's first of only two minivan models ever featured (second was Monterey). These have almost nothing in common with Ford's Aerostar, Windstar or Freestar minivans.

The first Villagers were available in three trim levels: GS, LS (luxury/sport), and the Nautica Special Edition.

All Villagers were designed with a Nissan 3.0 liter, V-6, 151 horsepower engine which is a free-wheeling, non-interference engine. This provides 2 important advantages; in the event of a complete engine failure in the course of driving, first, the driver will still have braking and steering power, and second, will not likely to be saddled with the excessive costs involved in replacing bent, cracked or damaged valves, guides, heads, etc. (i.e., engine rebuild) that accompany an otherwise simple repair issue such as a broken serpentine belt, seized alternator or leaky cooling system, as would be the case on an "interference motor".

This modified VG30E engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission is the same as used in the highly renown and reliable Nissan Maxima.

The Villager sold with either a folding, removable bench-type middle seat, or optionally, two Captain's chairs (bucket seats) which can be mounted in the rear position. The rear seat folds up or down and moved on tracks in the floor, When folded down, it provides a flat, recessed tabletop (with two cup holders) useful when dining, play cards or board games. It could be slid forward to the middle position making a 5 passenger vehicle with ample cargo space, or further forward, all the way to the back of the front seats to make a large cargo space.

Mercury Villager chassis was sophisticated compared to other minivans from the '90s; its modern all-coil suspension gave it a more car-like ride and better handling than its competitors.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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.

Mercury Cougar from Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is up for auction

Fri, Nov 20 2020

To a James Bond fan, this is a very cool and important car. This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 up for auction by Bonhams was one of three used during the filming of 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the one-and-done film starring George Lazenby that's a dark horse favorite among many Bond fans (this one included, there's a Japanese-market 'OHMSS' poster hanging behind me as I type this). However, this was not James Bond's car in the movie. He drove an Aston Martin DBS, including in the film's pre-titles sequence when he follows Tracy di Vicenzo driving her bright red Cougar. She would go on to rescue him with it in Switzerland (hence the skis), sacrificing its pretty red paint and body work in a demolition derby on ice that they use to shake Blofeld's Benz-driving goons. Later, after getting caught in a blizzard, they seek refuge in a barn -- a pivotal scene in the film and one where this particular Cougar was apparently used.  ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE | Ice Car Race However, even without the Bond connection, this Cougar is a very cool car. It was one of only 127 in 1969 to be fitted with the top-of-the-line 428 CobraJet Ram Air V8 rated at 335 horsepower. Tracy had a serious muscle car. Bonham's doesn't seem to have thought to provide a Marti report, but I'm guessing the build of XR7, convertible and a color combo of matching red exterior and interior wasn't exactly a common one. Well, we know there were at least three. With skis and French number plates, too.  As for the '69 Cougar itself, this was the only year it looked like this: it got a new body for '69 that would last two years, but the horizontal grille slats that extended over the headlight doors (so cool!) didn't carry over to 1970. It looked worse, and it could easily be argued that it was only downhill from here for the Cougar.  The auction is set for December 16 and Bonhams is estimating a sale price of between $130,000 and $200,000. That certainly makes sense given the rarity of a CobraJet Cougar, the film connection and the complete restoration undertaken by the man who found it in a classified ad in the late 1980s. He originally just wanted it for the engine until he discovered the Bond connection. I actually saw this very car at the 50th Anniversary "Bond in Motion" exhibit at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England back in 2013 (pictured below). There's also a model of the thing sitting next to me.

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected.

Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags.
