I have owned this car for about 2 years. I am an ASE mechanic. About 5 thousand miles ago I put rings, rod, and main bearings in the motor. I also replaced 5 valves I did not like and ground the valves. I drove it the 5 thousand miles as a toy than had it painted. I got it back about a year ago and it has sat in the garage since then. My wife doesn't like to ride with the top down which is why I bought it. The hard top goes with the car as does the storage cart and cover. I replaced the convertible top when I bought it and it is in like new condition as it spent most of it's life in the garage. I also replaced the carpeting with molded carpeting of original color. Everything works including the pop up headlights. I replaced the brakes and struts when I first bought the car. This is a nice cruise around town car. I replaced the battery about 2 months ago. I have a Mercury factory repair manual that also goes with the car. I would expect to be paid within 7 days of purchase and cash preferable. My phone number is 618-367-2443 and I get off work at 5:00 p.m. I go to bed early so please do not call after 8:30 pm. I have put quite a few dollars in this car so there is a reserve although it is less than I have invested. My reserve is $2500. Thanks Frank

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The 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.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
