I'm selling my 2008 Mercury Milan, which is essentially a little higher end Ford Fusion. It is a great car. I am the 2nd owner and I purchased with 24,000 miles on it. It now has 158,000 miles (all highway) on it, but looks and drives like it has 50,000 miles on it. The only reason I'm selling it is that a great deal fell in our lap and now we have too many vehicles in the garage.

I am a technology salesperson so I put on about 35,000 miles per year but take great care of my vehicles. There is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with the vehicle. The only cosmetic issues are a small chip in the windshield that is smaller than 1/4" and somebody bumped my driver's fender in a parking lot. Quotes to get the fender fixed have ranged between $500-$700, but you really don't even notice it at a glance. I put new brakes (rotors & pads) on it less than 4,000 miles ago and the tires are Pirelli 60,000 mile tires with about 10,000 miles on them, so 50,000 of tread left. The only other issue I've had is that the cable behind the driver's interior door handle broke about 3 months ago and I got it fixed immediately (that's obviously not a mechanical issue). The only other things I've had to do to the car is brakes, tires, a battery, and regular oil changes (I have the receipts for those). For reference, my last two cars went 274,000 and 312,000 miles before I gave them away (although they still ran well and looked great).

Options/Highlights:
V6 3.0 Liter
6 speed automatic
Premium alloy wheels (17")
Premium sound system w/6 CD changer, MP3, and plug-in for phone/MP3 player
Power moonroof
Leather interior
Power seats
Heated seats & heated mirrors
All the usual crap in modern cars: air bags, power locks, power windows, power brakes, cruise control, ultra bright halogen lights, automatic headlights, auto-dimming mirror, etc.

Car starts and runs great. Rides very smooth. It has plenty of legroom, as I'm 6'3" and have no issues. Handles great in the winter. Average retail is approximately $9,500. This is a perfect budget car or something safe and reliable for a student.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

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.

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.
