1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan - a seven (7) passenger wagon. Same as a Nissan Quest (see the blurb below) with a bulletproof, non-interference Maxima 3.0L V-6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission. (see photos). Although the van is running fine and drivable, it was hit and needs left-front fender, side light and mechanical attention to the left-front suspension because a part appears to be bent enough that the tire rubs lightly when turned.
Absolutely NO RUST, NO CORROSION, NO LEAKS or DRIPPING FLUIDS. The Villager LS unit came standard with Power Steering, Tilt Wheel with built-in Cruise Controls, Digital Instrument Cluster, Alloy Wheels, ABS 4-Wheel, Keyless Entry, Privacy Glass, upgraded and luxury interior and upholstery (which is in very good condition) with special appointments and trim, inside and out. There are no tears or excessive wear. Can't find the sun visors; they broke off years ago. No leaks or dripping fluid. Nice stereo system. Side-mounted rear A/C and heater controls. Exhaust system has not been modified and is very quiet. Center seating is the optional, removable Captain's Chairs which can also be used in the rear (see table feature below). Rear bench seat folds up and can be positioned anywhere along the tracks, even up against the back of the front Captain's Chairs. This provides a huge cargo area which is accessible from the rear hatch or side entrance and ample space for a camping mattress in a five (5) passenger vehicle. Also, the rear bench seat folds down to provide a table feature with drink holders which can be slid to the rear or the mid section. When slid forward, you can then install the removable Captain's Chairs to the rear of the seat tracks, allowing all passengers to use for dining and game playing. Roof rack is complete, adjustable and fully functional. This wagon was well taken care of before it was hit. Total, verifiable mileage is only 171,161. Clear/clean title ready to go. Thank you for looking at this 1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan/wagon with left-front damage. Here's a few notes on the Mercury Villager minivans: Manufactured and sold by Ford for model years 1993-2002, it is a re-badged and slightly re-designed variant of the Nissan Quest. The Villager was the product of a joint venture between Ford and Nissan and was built at Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. It was Mercury's first of only two minivan models ever featured (second was Monterey). These have almost nothing in common with Ford's Aerostar, Windstar or Freestar minivans. The first Villagers were available in three trim levels: GS, LS (luxury/sport), and the Nautica Special Edition. All Villagers were designed with a Nissan 3.0 liter, V-6, 151 horsepower engine which is a free-wheeling, non-interference engine. This provides 2 important advantages; in the event of a complete engine failure in the course of driving, first, the driver will still have braking and steering power, and second, will not likely to be saddled with the excessive costs involved in replacing bent, cracked or damaged valves, guides, heads, etc. (i.e., engine rebuild) that accompany an otherwise simple repair issue such as a broken serpentine belt, seized alternator or leaky cooling system, as would be the case on an "interference motor". This modified VG30E engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission is the same as used in the highly renown and reliable Nissan Maxima. The Villager sold with either a folding, removable bench-type middle seat, or optionally, two Captain's chairs (bucket seats) which can be mounted in the rear position. The rear seat folds up or down and moved on tracks in the floor, When folded down, it provides a flat, recessed tabletop (with two cup holders) useful when dining, play cards or board games. It could be slid forward to the middle position making a 5 passenger vehicle with ample cargo space, or further forward, all the way to the back of the front seats to make a large cargo space. Mercury Villager chassis was sophisticated compared to other minivans from the '90s; its modern all-coil suspension gave it a more car-like ride and better handling than its competitors. |

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module
Wed, Dec 23 2015The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
