Year:1995 Mileage:127749
Location:

Faribault, Minnesota, United States

Faribault, Minnesota, United States

You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition.  Car rides and drives very smooth.  A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does  gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine.  With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range. 

Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks,  six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support.  Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate.  It was stolen by some kids.  Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued.  Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer.   Working A/C and heat.  Automatic transmission, good size trunk space.  (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.)

The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota.  The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself.  I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room.  

Known issues included are:
Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area.  The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened.   Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off,  both sets of the headlights still are functional.  And blinkers are operational as well. 
Car could use a new thermostat soon. 
Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point.
Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off.  I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered. 
Check engine light is on.   Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem)
CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio.   All speakers are still in working condition
Just needs a little TLC.  No known transmission or engine problems.   It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely. 

I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter.  The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for.  Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.  (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN)   Address and directions will be provided to the winner.  Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired. 

I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check.   NOTE:  Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully. 
Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above.   

Overall I very good car.  A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle.  
LOW RESERVE

Thank you and good luck!

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014



Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
