1993 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, United States
THIS CAR WAS SOLD !!! Had a legitimate bid then in the last few minutes a brand new account Liza93 outbid buyer. Story was the person was oceanographer and at sea and wanted to send me an additional $1,000 to wire to the shipper. I checked Scamdex and this person uses this name often and basically the same story. This is my time listing this car, after 3 listings and loosing a real buyer due to a scam buyer I am done after this. I am now offering this car for as little as 1,200.00 and I paid over $400 just for the tires. If it doesn't go this time it goes to storage. So here we go again !! And I will not accept bids from new eBay accounts with a zero rating unless you contact me first. Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Locks, Power Sunroof. 2 Door V6 Coupe, Cougar Aluminum Wheels with Cougar Center. Bought 4 new tires from Sears, New Battery, everything else seems to work just fine. Stereo has a mind of its own sometimes it shuts off then turns back on but only on radio setting, CD works fine all the time. Car has no body damage does have a little surface rust and paint fade. Surface rust spots popped up in areas where paint faded a lot and living on an island at the ocean turns it fast, but as you will see in pics it's not bad. I bought the car for my son who will be licensed soon and we were going to have it repainted. It's too much car in size and power for him, plus with the small back windows it has visibility issues for a new driver. I paid 2,600.00 for the car and now that he will be driving a smaller Cobalt I need to make room as we live in a condo with restricted number of parking spots. I am starting the car out at an unbelievable $1,600.00 and a buy it now of $2,000.00 this car has been recently driven to Pennsylvania and back to North Carolina so there is no issue with picking it up and driving it anywhere. Depending on where it's going and for a reasonable cost we will drive it to you. Car must be paid in full before it leaves, I will overnight title if needed. This car is an up coming classic and will make a nice future hot rod. Email me with any questions, I will answer or find the answer for you. Thanks for looking |

Junkyard Gem: 1995 Mercury Tracer Trio
Sat, Feb 5 2022With the rise of Radwood, cars with exaggerated characteristics associated with the 1980s and 1990s are cool again. That means some combination of pastel and/or neon colors, squiggly squeezed-from-toothpaste-tube graphics, nonfunctional decklid spoilers, giant TURBO badging, and kicky youth-centric nomenclature are required if you want your wheels to be considered in compliance with the sacred tenets of Radism. I do my best to find rad machinery while crawling around in car graveyards, and since I came of driving age in 1982 I know a bit about the subject. Today's rare Junkyard Gem shows us the Mercury Division's belated attempt to sell fun cars to rad-leaning youngsters: a Tracer Trio, found in a Denver yard a few weeks back. The Trio package added 310 bucks to the cost of the $11,280 base Tracer sedan (that's about $575 on a $20,925 car in 2022 dollars), and it got the hip-and-trendy young buyer a leather-wrapped steering wheel, seven-spoke wheels, a decklid spoiler and these rad fender badges. I'm going to say that the much louder graphics and candy-cane-colored displacement badges on the Pontiac Sunbird W25 out-radded the Tracer Trio by a mile, but then Pontiac generally out-radded everyone in those days. Even Plymouth got into the act with such radness as the Breeze Expresso and Sundance Duster (we'll overlook the anti-rad Horizon Miser here). Perhaps tellingly, Mercury, Pontiac and Plymouth all got the "Old Yeller" treatment not long after the Rad Era ended. The Tracer name always went on Mercuries built on Mazda platforms, starting with the Australia-built, Ford Laser-based 1987-1989 cars and then continuing with Mexico-assembled, Ford Escort-based 1991-1996 cars. That generation of Escort/Tracer was mechanical twins with the Mazda Protege, itself the bridge between the 323 and the Mazda3. Some Tracers got the a 1.8-liter Mazda engine that was related to the Miata's engine, but this one has the pure-Detroit CVH 1.9. You're looking at 88 horsepower right here; the Mazda 1.8 offered 127 horses. At least the original buyer of this car got the base five-speed manual transmission instead of forking over $815 extra (about $1,510 today) for the four-speed slushbox. As a 29-year-old slacker living in San Francisco's Mission District and driving a hooptie '65 Chevy Impala sedan at the time, I would have taken the manual transmission without the Trio package, had I been forced to buy a new Tracer.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
