Hello!
You are bidding on a teal 1995 Mercury Sable GS Sedan 4-Door 3.0L that has been DAMAGED by a FLOOD, and is being sold as is for restoration or parts.

Please review pictures of the vehicle that I took during and after the flood. Before the flood, the car was running great, with no mechanical issues. It had a tune up, overhaul of the transmission, and a replaced radiator several years back. It needed a paint job - especially in the back (trunk, top), had a lot of tears on the interior ceiling, and a few broken interior trimmings, but all else was in good shape (please see photos of how clean and in good shape the dash board, door interiors, etc. are).

On 9/12 we were evacuated from our home because of flooding. The photos of the vehicle in the flood water show the maximum height that the waters reached. It was flooded this way for six days. Upon return home to inspect the car, the battery was completely dead, and I heard that you should not try to start a vehicle that was in a flood, anyway, until it can be serviced (I have not taken it in for servicing). I have left all doors (including trunk) open for multiple days, trying to dry everything out, but there is a strong moldy / mildew smell inside the cab and trunk, and visible metal areas of the interior (under seats, etc) are showing rust.

Exterior body is in great shape. No rust showing on exterior except for a small bit on the rear passenger fender (see photos). Windshield has multiple cracks. All other glass, lights, etc. is intact. Tires are in good shape with low miles. Serpentine belt is like-new. Car had regular oil changes / servicing.Two of the four hubcaps are complete, one is partial, one is missing.

This is a great car to either restore or part out, but I do not have the time (or funds) to do either, so I am hoping someone else would be interested.

Being sold as is, with no warranties, etc. Please ask any questions before you bid.

Thanks for looking!

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. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.
