In 2007 I searched for a old-style Lincoln Town Car but couldn't find one in my price range, the next best thing is what I stumbled across: a Mercury Grand Marquis. This car got me through high school and college, and now that I've gotten a career job, I'm ready to let this car go. 

The car has 170k miles on it, interior and exterior is clean. I always keep it on blacktop with a car-cover except for Dec-Feb where there is usually snow and ice. I'm fairly handy and very familiar with the Panther platform, so most of the work on the car I did myself. A lot of it was recent:

Oil change every ~3000 miles
New Autolite Platinum plugs @ 108k
Michelin X-Radials @ ~115k
New power steering pump @ 120k
Front Sway-bar bushings & endlinks @ 150k
Pass side inner/outer tie-rod ends & idler arm replaced @ 152k
Rotors, front & rear pads, parking brake shoes (ACDelco rotors/front pads, Wagner rear pads) and front shocks @ 156k
Transmission replaced @ 165k
All 4 window regulators replaced
Aftermarket MTX speakers with Pioneer head unit

I'm looking for around $2100 or best offer for it. The car is located in Harrisonburg, Va. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have to the best of my knowledge!

As you can probably figure, I put a lot of effort into this car to keep it maintained, I am hoping to sell it to someone who will appreciate the car and take care of it for another 100k miles!

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A 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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
