Clean And Reliable 2005 Mercury Sable Ls Sedan 4-door 3.0l Needs Transmission on 2040-cars

This was my daily driver up until a week ago when the transmission began to act up. We have been on the market for an SUV so it gave me the excuse to go shop!
Car was purchased from my boss back in 2008 who is a professional mechanic/detailer. He insured it as part of his company 'fleet', but It was his wife's car, had 48,000 miles when I bought it. As a company vehicle however it was fully inspected before being sold and checked out. Since then has had yearly I inspections and has been kept up mechanically very well. Interior was also kept up very well. As I mentioned I work for a professional detailer so it got cleaned very often! Previous owner was a Light smoker so there are some marks in the upholstery however there is no trace of smell in the car as it has not been smoked in since 2008 and was professionally cleaned. It's a great, comfortable car to drive. As I said only reason for selling is the transmission issue. The car still drives relatively well at this point, however shifts hard at higher speeds and does not go in reverse or drive in first gear. The transmission will hold the car in place on a hill in reverse but will not actually power it backwards. It acts up for a little while before the information center begins to read check transmission. At the same time as the transmission issue the ABS and traction control lights kicked on, I assume that is related but I do not know. Besides that, everything works with the exception of the windshield wash which needs nothing more than the hose replaced. It separated and at the moment is washing the engine instead of the windshield! The outside is in decent shape as well. Only things to note are a blemished back bumper from backing into a cart keeper in a parking lot (is not cracked, the paint just began to chip after the impact), a chip out of the driver tail light but light is not fogged up at all and a decent scratch in the front hood from when one of the kids, god love them, tried to shovel the snow off my car >.< I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Email me with any questions or if you would like to set up a time to view the vehicle. As I said it does drive, but I do not know how much longer it will. You may certainly try to drive it home and have it towed from where it stops, or tow it the entire way. If your lucky maybe it'll make it the whole way! |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The 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.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The 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.
