2001 Mercury Sable Ls Premium - Xln't Condition - Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Vista, California, United States
|
This has been a very good and reliable car for us. We just finally bought a new car so this is now available. We live in a suburb of San Diego, in No. County, close to the beginning of entering the city. Our adult son previously owned this; we've had it for over 8 years, I believe. It has never been in an accident and no cigarette smokers have ever smoked in this car! I drive it probably 200 miles a month - I'm getting up there in age, I guess. Has two tiny dings: one on rear side door on driver's side and another on same side over wheel well (both pictured). Only other finish complaint is a small crease (6" long?) below driver's door, pictured but hard to notice. Otherwise, paint is virtually perfect - no peeling, fading, etc. Still very glossy. Tires are xln't (Michelin) and have a loooooong time to go yet. A/C compressor and serpentine belt was replaced in Nov., 2013 - almost $1,000 - so it's also xln't & freezing cold when needed and the fuel pump was replaced two months ago ($450). Interior is also superior as pics indicate. Some cracking of the leather on driver's seat but only on the leading edge of the seat in the area closest to the door, otherwise all terrific condition. I'm a very honest person (probably too much so) so I'm listing ANYTHING I can think of that you would want to know about this car that is less than perfect: there is some moisture behind plastic lens on headlight on passenger side; there is a small drip of oil underneath vehicle that we've had for 2 years but it's so slow that it doesn't "pay" to have the seal (I guess) replaced. My husband never has to fill the oil tank because of it. The light for the radiator water sensor comes on most of the time. It is due to the sensor not working right. Whenever we lift the hood and slightly "adjust/move" the large, white plastic container that holds the water overflow for the radiator, then the light goes off but as soon as the car goes over a bump, it returns and comes back on. It's done it for 10 years. Not worth fixing. Although I never have to change the driver's seat position, the power seat doesn't always want to move forward or back unless you press your foot down hard on the foot rest area. The rear seat-backs fold down - either for raising up a child seat (I'm presuming) but certainly to carry something long in the trunk and protrude through the opening into the rear cabin ... skis? wood? supplies? In the center console that has a pop-up and padded armrest, you will find the 6-disc CD player - I've never used it but my son said it always worked great. What I really love about this car is that it's fun to drive - you really get a "feel" for the road, like a sports car, and it has a LOT of zip. If you suddenly need to step on the accelerator, you know it will respond with a lot of guts - that gives me a lot of security. The registration is paid until mid-July. Car has ALWAYS passed smog test; buyer will pay for any new smog certificate.
If you have ANY questions about this car, please call and ask questions, AFTER 10:30 a.m. PST, at: 760-758-9222. You are certainly welcome to email any of your questions, also. If you want additional photos, just ask. You are welcome to make an appointment with me to test-drive and inspect this car prior to bidding - however, once the auction is over, the sale is FINAL. This car is running beautifully - I have NO complaints whatsoever. I've tried my best to describe it as honestly as possible but common sense dictates that it is sold in an "as is" condition as I have no control over what you might do to the car once you have possession of it. |

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The 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. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. 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. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

Junkyard Gem: 1955 Mercury Montclair Coupe
Wed, Jul 20 2022I find plenty of 1950s Detroit vehicles in the big self-service car graveyards I frequent, but most of them are fairly ordinary sedans that never stood much chance of getting fixed up and put back on the road. Such is not the case with today's Junkyard Gem, which is a top-trim-level, heavily optioned hardtop coupe from one of the most desirable model years of the tailfins-and-chrome postwar era. Nearly every Mercury model ever made was a Ford model with some cosmetic changes applied, and the '55s looked very similar to their mechanically identical Ford brethren. In 1955, the new Mercury came in three trim levels: the entry-level Custom, the medium-zoot Monterey, and the glitzy Montclair. Each was available as a hardtop coupe and four-door sedan, with wagon versions of the Custom and Monterey. The Montclair could be purchased as a convertible or with the wild "Sun Valley" glass roof. The Montclair got its own line of hallucinogenic two-tone interiors, in order to make the daily lives of Europeans feel even more gray and penurious (the UK only dropped food rationing in 1954, and the two Germanies were still clearing the rubble of their blown-up cities). This car's upholstery has been bleached by decades of sitting outside in the harsh High Plains climate, but it started out as vivid red and white "Chromatex" fabric. The list price on this car was $2,631, or about $29,200 in 2022 dollars. The Sun Valley and convertible Montclair each cost $2,712 ($30,100 today). Ford didn't offer a corresponding hardtop coupe in 1955, though the Fairlane Crown Victoria two-door did look extremely snazzy (and cost a mere $2,302— $25,545 now— with the same V8 engine as the Monterey). Meanwhile, Oldsmobile offered the handsome 88 Super Holiday Coupe for $2,714, though the Montclair had the more powerful engine. Oldsmobile had been selling new cars with overhead-valve V8s since the 1949 model year, while Ford didn't ditch the Model A-era flathead V8 for new U.S.-market cars until the 1954 model year (you could buy a new Simca Esplanada in Brazil with an Ardun-headed Ford V8-60 all the way until 1969). GM's Chevrolet Division got all the press in 1955 with the introduction of the brand-new small-block V8 engine, but Ford's 292-cubic-inch (4.8-liter) Y-Block V8 made more power than the 265-cube (4.3-liter) Chevy and the 324ci Olds Rocket 88.
