2009 - Mercury Mariner on 2040-cars
Riverton, New Jersey, United States
This is a great little SUV and we get 29 MPG regularly around town in the summer and 27 MPG on the highway. We have got as high as 31 MPG before. The 4wd is great in the snow and will take you anywhere. I specifically bought a 2009 for the newer body style with upgraded power over the 2008 and an improved Navigation system. The Mercury Mariner is the same vehicle as a Ford Escape Hybrid. This SUV has every option except the power moon roof, below is a list: Intelligent 4WD System 16" 12-spoke machined-aluminum wheels Premium leather-trimmed, heated front bucket seats Heated body-color side view mirrors Hybrid Energy/Navigation/Audiophile System: Hybrid energy-flow graphic; fuel economy display; Audiophile Sound System with AM/FM stereo/CD/DVD, MP3 capability and 7 speakers; SYNC; hard drive-based, voice-activated Navigation System features SIRIUS Travel Link TM and about 10 gigabytes of digital storage for pictures and music Backup Camera Ambient Lighting Roof-rack side rails with satin-aluminum inserts and black crossbars Reverse Sensing System It has 69,904 miles and is still covered under the 100k miles / 8 year hybrid battery warranty. I just put Michelin X-Radial LT2 All Season tires that have a 70k mile tread-wear warranty on it from Costco in the end of October 2013 that cost $625. Regular scheduled service at the Ford dealership with no mechanical issues. Have receipts for all service. There is one scratch on the drivers side rear door and some rock chips on the front but no other physical damage (see pics). I am the third owner and have owned it for the last two years. Only reason I am selling is to buy a mini-van with more room for our family. A deposit of $500 via PayPal is required 24 hours after purchasing and payment in full before pickup. I can help assist with vehicle shipping or pickup from the Helena airport. The SUV is being stored in a garage.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
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.
