This 2002 Mercury Mountaineer is being sold by the original owner in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The vehicle has been treated well and maintained properly, and is in good condition with 96,000 miles. The vehicle has been owned by a non-smoking family. The interior is clean. The interior is leather. Seating surfaces show signs of minor wear, have no holes or burns. The carpeting is in good shape with the exception of where the driver's right foot plants for acceleration. The air conditioning works great and delivers icy cold air into the cabin via automatic climate control (driver and passenger control).
The engine runs really well. Shifting is smooth. Acceleration is strong and without hesitation. All Wheel Drive works perfectly. Antilock brakes work perfectly as well. A brand new windshield was installed just 20 miles ago as a bonus to the new owner. Oil has been changed in the vehicle every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, including just 20 miles ago. Air filter changed 20 miles ago too. Transmission fluid changed once at 40,000 miles or so. Brakes pads are good and don't need attention. Michelin tires are in good condition and have plenty of tread remaining.
SUV comes with factory equipped Class III trailer towing package. Vehicle has never been used to tow anything other than small utility trailer. The SUV runs well enough to reliably tow a boat or a small camper with ease.
This car has served me and my family well. The only reason I am selling it is because it was time for us to get a new vehicle. This a good vehicle and I wouldn't hesitate to take my family on a long trip in it.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
