You are looking at one of the cleanest and nicest cars you will see from the 1990’s decade. My grandmother purchased this car new in 1992 and was hers until her recent death. During the time she was here she almost never drove this car, and it spent most of its time in a garage and under cover. Near the end of her life she never drove the car, in fact it stayed in the garage untouched for many years until she passed away and left it to me. I had to transfer the title from her name to mine during the execution of her will, but since I have put less than around 50 miles on the car, I still consider it to be a one owner car.

This car has never been wrecked or damaged in any way, never been smoked in, and never been repainted. The interior is like a new car, with no stains or markings of any sort. There is no signs of wear anywhere on the seats or carpeting, and as I said, if it were sent to a detail shop for a professional buffing a detail, you would think this is a new car. This car is so nice, I had originally wanted to keep the car for myself and drive it, but due to my lifestyle I have found that it is just sitting here wasting away in my garage, just like it did at my grandmother’s house. This is the only reason I am looking at selling this car.

Once I took possession of the car I found there were several issues I needed to address which are normal for cars which have been sitting for a long period of time. I have replaced the brakes and rebuilt the calipers on all 4 wheels, replaced the muffler and master cylinder. I have also changed the oil and the transmission fluid. I also found the original tires from 1992 were still on the car and needed to be replaced just due to age. At that point I decide I wanted to have larger and wider tires on the car, so I ordered a set of later model 16” aluminum wheels and purchased new tires for those wheels. I have kept the original 15” steel wheels and covers just in case someone wanted them which are in the trunk. When I got the 16” wheels 2 of the center caps were missing and I have not replaced them yet. They are easy to find and can be had new online for about $20.00 each.

This car runs great and I would feel safe driving it anywhere. The air conditioning blows cold air and is working very well. That being said, I feel I need to discuss the transmission and its condition. Though I have not driven the car very much, I have felt the transmission slip a little on the highway while in overdrive. I have not noticed any slipping while in drive just driving around town and not on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to a reputable mechanic who made a complete inspection. Because he removed the pan he again replaced the transmission fluid with new and test drove the car. Once he was done he said that he didn’t believe anything could really be wrong with the transmission other than it just needed to be driven.  He said once the car had someone driving it every day it would more than likely stop slipping at all, and with just 22,000 miles on it there should be nothing internal causing it other than something sticking due to not being driven.

By bidding on this car you agree to pick it up and pay in full with cash money within 2 weeks of the end of the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will answer as quickly as possible.

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The 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.
