1989 Mercury Cougar Ls Sedan 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Magnolia, Texas, United States
|
Needs TLC including battery, tires, paint and other items typically needed when a vehicle has been sitting for years. The last time this car was driven with any regularity was about 2008. After that the kids used it summers for a few years for work and it has been parked since. We did start it about three years ago and let it idle for a half hour, but have only used it for storage since. This car has been in Texas since 1997 but is titled in Pennsylvania. Please be considerate, this is an older car and has been sitting for years. I am not asking top dollar. With some work, this will make a youngster a good first car. My daughter changed the rack and pinion while she was driving it, my son did other repairs. This is a car in excess of 20 years old and is far from perfect, but is still repairable and drivable for someone willing to put forth some time and effort. This car was very reliable when being driven, but we moved to property and needed something bigger. NADA has this vehicle listed as $1600 Low Retail. When being driven regularly was maintained including oil changes every 3 to 5000 miles with synthetic oil and has many standard parts already replaced. If you have any specific questions please ask. |

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
