2002 Mercury Cougar XR Special Edition

Original Owner
Only 72280 Miles


I am the original owner.   The vehicle is all original and has been well maintained.  This was the last year for the Cougar.   It's also worth noting that this car was purchased new in May of 2003... and was likely one of the last Cougar's sold.   The dealer had been holding firm on the price and consequently it did not sale for a few years.   So while it is a 2002 Car, it sat in a showroom until mid 2003 before being sold (to us).

Overall Condition:
First and foremost, please see the pictures for the best indicator of the condition.   Overall the car looks very good inside and out.   We purchased it because my wife really liked it, and she drove it most of the time until our child was born.   At that point I started driving it so she could take the Tahoe (safer arrangement for a car seat).   It's been well maintained, but was a daily driver.  Tires have a decent amount of tread left.   Normal small dings here and there that would be expected on a car with this age and mileage.    

Issues:
1.  There is a crack on the rear spoiler (see closeup picture).  Caused when we mistakenly left the trunk open and pulled out of the garage.  The spoiler hit the garage door.
2.  I curbed the car coming out of a parking garage.   This left a scuff on the drivers side of the front bumper (see pics, it's right at the bottom of the bumper).  I had the suspension arm replaced on that side afterwords just to be safe (I think it had a scrape / scuff on it).   This isn't an issue, just noting so the buyer has a complete background on the car.



If you have any questions or would like to come inspect the vehicle please contact me through eBay.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
