  Super clean van inside and out. Hardly used van with only 63,100 miles. These vans are known to run for a quarter million miles, at 63,100 miles this van is not even broken in. These vans have a great reputation for dependability and 5 out of 5 stars according to owner reviews, a fairly amazing factoid. The 3.3 ltr. V6 supplies power through a 4 speed over drive automatic transmission. It runs and drives very nice and shifts as it should. The tires are newer and have great even wearing tread. The battery has been recently replaced and routine fluid changes have been completed. This van has a glove box full of maintenance documentation. The elderly gentleman who previously owned it took very good care of it as well as keeping receipts. The air blows ice cold. The factory radio has been replaced with a new cd player. The interior is exceptionally clean, the exterior has some paint blemishes like chips and scratches but is in good condition. This van is vacation ready and needs nothing but driven. 7 passenger vans as clean as this one that get as good of gas mileage as this one are hard to find. The Mercury Villager and the Nissan Quest for this model are basically the same van and loved by many, I'm sure whoever buys this one will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Thanks for looking. This vehicle is being sold with no warranty, written or implied. I looked up this van on Kelly Blue Book.com and discovered it should cost about 3700.00 if bought from a private party and almost 5000.00 if bought from a dealer. I am selling it auction style with a more than fair reserve with hope a nice family in need will give it a new home. Thanks again.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You 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.
