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. 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 |

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."

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners 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.
