You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition. Car rides and drives very smooth. A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine. With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range.
Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks, six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support. Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate. It was stolen by some kids. Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued. Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer. Working A/C and heat. Automatic transmission, good size trunk space. (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.) The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota. The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself. I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room. Known issues included are: Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area. The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened. Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off, both sets of the headlights still are functional. And blinkers are operational as well. Car could use a new thermostat soon. Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point. Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off. I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered. Check engine light is on. Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem) CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio. All speakers are still in working condition Just needs a little TLC. No known transmission or engine problems. It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely. I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter. The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for. Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN) Address and directions will be provided to the winner. Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired. I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. NOTE: Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully. Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above. Overall I very good car. A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle. LOW RESERVE Thank you and good luck! |

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Thu, Nov 24 2022We've all been seeing the instantly familiar Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor on North American roads for what seems like forever, though in fact the very first of the aerodynamic Crown Vics didn't appear until a mere 31 years ago. Yes, after more than a decade of boxy LTD Crown Victorias, Dearborn took the late-1970s-vintage Panther platform and added a brand-new, Taurus-influenced smooth body and modern overhead-cam V8 engine, giving us the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria. The rule was, since 1939, that (nearly) every Ford model needed a corresponding Mercury, and so the Mercury Division applied different grille and taillights and the rejuvenated Grand Marquis was born. Here's one of the first of those cars to be built, now residing in a Denver-area self-service boneyard. The Marquis name goes respectably far back, to the late 1960s and a Mercurized version of the Ford LTD hardtop. The Grand Marquis began life as the name for an interior trim package on the 1974 Marquis Brougham (also LTD-based), eventually becoming a model in its own right for the 1979 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem came off the Ontario assembly line in March 1991, making one of the very first examples built. For 1992 (and through 2011), the Grand Marquis was a Crown Victoria with slightly enhanced bragging rights. This one has the top-grade LS trim, with an MSRP of $20,644 (that's about $44,370 in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). The corresponding Ford-badged model (built on the same assembly line by the same workers) would have been the Crown Victoria LX, which actually cost a bit more: $20,987 ($44,910 now). The very cheapest civilian 1992 Crown Vic cost just $19,563 ($42,045 today). There weren't any powertrain differences between the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis in 1992. The only engine available was this Modular 4.6 SOHC V8, rated at either 190 (single exhaust) or 210 (dual exhaust) horsepower. The transmission was a four-speed automatic with overdrive. How many miles are on this one? Can't say! Based on the worn-out interior, I'm going to guess 221,719 miles passed beneath this car's wheels during its 32-plus years on the road. I've seen some very high-mile Police Interceptors, of course, including one with 412,013 miles, but Ford didn't go to six-digit odometers in the Grand Marquis until a bit deeper into the 1990s. Thanks to flawed speech-to-text applications on smartphones, the Grand Marquis is known as the "Grandma Keith" to many of us today.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The 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.
