This classic Mercury is guaranteed to have less than 100,000 original miles, although the odometer recently stopped functioning.  The car was purchased new in Cape Charles, Virginia by the original owners and has remained in their family until I purchased it from their son, who is a personal friend and drove it for a short time before selling to me while settling his late parent's estate.  This car truly is a rare gem.

LS Trim includes the beautiful burgundy leather seats which can be seen in the pictures and are in near-perfect condition.  All leather has been cleaned and conditioned and will last for many years to come.  The interior is perfect with the exception of a few stains on the carpets.  The headliner is totally intact and in perfect condition.  (see pictures)  The dash board, doors and all trim and interior/exterior lights are intact and in working order.  The electric radio antennae mast works perfectly and the AM/FM radio is in "as new" excellent working condition.  All speakers function perfectly with no distortion.  The original owner's manual is in the glove box.  This car was never abused in any way and literally was driven by a retired couple its entire life.

The shiny black exterior is rock solid and all the original paint is intact with no bubbling or rust.  I have been under the car and all panels are solid and rust-free.  The car has never been driven on salt treated roads and spent its entire life south of the Mason Dixon.  There are some minor surface scratches but all the sheet metal is strait and there are no dents, cracks or missing moldings or exterior trim.

Known items that do not currently work:

  • The rear electric window regulators are not engaging.  I had the driver's side front window regulator replaced in December, 2013 and both front electric windows function fine.
  • All electric seat functions are in working order for both drive and passenger front split bench seats.
  • The A/C needs recharging but heat, defroster, etc. are working like new.
  • The "air bag" dummy light is flashing.  I'm not sure what is causing this.  Could be a bad sensor.  The airbags have never been deployed.  This car has incredibly straight sheet metal and has never been damaged in any way.
  • The engine fires up immediately and runs smoothly.  A new battery has just been installed.  The car hesitates briefly when cold but runs smooth as silk when warmed up.
  • The steering is tight and I just had the outer steering control arms replaced.  All other steering and suspension components were checked out and are fine.
  • The serpentine engine belt was replaced and all other belts checked out fine.
  • All brake linings were inspected and are like new.  
  • All four electric door locks are functioning fine.
  • The button cap for the electric fuel door opener is missing but the fuel door can be manually operated with no problem.
  • The electric trunk release is working fine.
  • The exhaust system is solid and quiet and has passed inspection.

This car will provide comfortable and reliable transportation for years to come, or will be an excellent addition to a classic collection.  The Grand Marquis is the upmarket equivalent of the Ford Crown Victoria and there are still thousands of these cars on the American road.  New and used parts are plentiful and easily accessible if needed.  My father has owned three Crown Vic's and has always boasted of 25-27 mpg on the highway and 20+ mpg overall with this V8 engine.  Ride and comfort is remarkably smooth.

The car can be seen and test driven by appointment in Salisbury, MD.

 Hello Bidders:  Thank you for your interest in this car.  The minimum is set at $1,950 and this car is worth much more.  It is a steal at this price and if the minimum is not reached on this auction the car will be kept, and not be relisted as this is the second attempt.  Thanks for your interest.  Now you know what it will take to buy it!

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

Sat, Dec 19 2020

Once hybrid vehicles from Honda and Toyota proved to work well in the real world of American streets during the early 2000s, other U.S.-market manufacturers climbed aboard the gasoline-electric bandwagon. Ford introduced the Escape Hybrid for the 2005 model year and sales proved quite strong; its Mercury-badged sibling, the Mariner Hybrid, appeared the following year. The Mariner Hybrid never induced many vehicle shoppers to sign on the line which is dotted, despite gasoline prices going absolutely ape in 2008, though it remained available all the way through the Mercury brand's 2010 demise. Here's one of those rare trucks, found in a Denver-area yard last month. The Escape/Mariner Hybrids got amazing fuel economy for tall, truck-shaped machines, though the serious penny-pinchers with long commutes skipped anything built in the 21st century and began driving up the prices of the once-scorned Geo Metro XFi, gas-sipping champion of the previous decade. The Mercury brand was on the ropes by this time, with not much to distinguish the once-distinctive Mercury machines from their near-identical Ford counterparts. The 1999-2002 Cougar was the last Mercury sold here with no twin brothers over in the Ford showrooms. I do see the occasional Escape Hybrid in places like this, though such gas-saving small SUVs tend to retain their value well enough that it takes a crash to retire one. This Mariner Hybrid hit something hard and either flipped on its side or scraped a guardrail for some distance. The airbags deployed and, presumably, spared the occupants from serious injury. That's the good news. The bad news is that fixing this kind of damage to a 13-year-old vehicle made by a defunct brand just isn't worth it to insurance companies, hybrid-electric powertrain or not. We can assume that the battery pack lives on in another Escape/Mariner. Navigation, Bluetooth, and other features that were considered pretty slick in 2007. This truck was in pretty good shape until the very end. Jill Wagner proved that you can bury a Mercury emblem in volcanic soil and it will grow into a brand-new Mariner Hybrid. That's how science works! You can go to the same field and tap on a Mercury emblem, if you want to get a regular gasoline Mariner.

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?

Fri, Oct 23 2015

In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
