1995 Mercury Villager Ls Minivan No Rust Runs Good But Needs Work on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
|
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. |

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury
Mon, May 14 2018Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
