THIS CAR WAS SOLD !!! Had a legitimate bid then in the last few minutes a brand new account Liza93 outbid buyer. Story was the person was oceanographer and at sea and wanted to send me an additional $1,000 to wire to the shipper. I checked Scamdex and this person uses this name often and basically the same story.

This is my time listing this car, after 3 listings and loosing a real buyer due to a scam buyer I am done after this.

I am now offering this car for as little as 1,200.00 and I paid over $400 just for the tires. If it doesn't go this time it goes to storage.

So here we go again !! And I will not accept bids from new eBay accounts with a zero rating unless you contact me first.

1993 Mercury Cougar XR7 Special Edition, Mercury Teal with Gray leather interior.

Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Locks, Power Sunroof.

2 Door V6 Coupe, Cougar Aluminum Wheels with Cougar Center.

Bought 4 new tires from Sears, New Battery, everything else seems to work just fine. Stereo has a mind of its own sometimes it shuts off then turns back on but only on radio setting, CD works fine all the time.

Car has no body damage does have a little surface rust and paint fade. Surface rust spots popped up in areas where paint faded a lot and living on an island at the ocean turns it fast, but as you will see in pics it's not bad.

I bought the car for my son who will be licensed soon and we were going to have it repainted. It's too much car in size and power for him, plus with the small back windows it has visibility issues for a new driver. I paid 2,600.00 for the car and now that he will be driving a smaller Cobalt I need to make room as we live in a condo with restricted number of parking spots.

I am starting the car out at an unbelievable $1,600.00 and a buy it now of $2,000.00 this car has been recently driven to Pennsylvania and back to North Carolina so there is no issue with picking it up and driving it anywhere. Depending on where it's going and for a reasonable cost we will drive it to you. Car must be paid in full before it leaves, I will overnight title if needed. This car is an up coming classic and will make a nice future hot rod. Email me with any questions, I will answer or find the answer for you.

Thanks for looking

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
