Hello!
You are bidding on a teal 1995 Mercury Sable GS Sedan 4-Door 3.0L that has been DAMAGED by a FLOOD, and is being sold as is for restoration or parts.

Please review pictures of the vehicle that I took during and after the flood. Before the flood, the car was running great, with no mechanical issues. It had a tune up, overhaul of the transmission, and a replaced radiator several years back. It needed a paint job - especially in the back (trunk, top), had a lot of tears on the interior ceiling, and a few broken interior trimmings, but all else was in good shape (please see photos of how clean and in good shape the dash board, door interiors, etc. are).

On 9/12 we were evacuated from our home because of flooding. The photos of the vehicle in the flood water show the maximum height that the waters reached. It was flooded this way for six days. Upon return home to inspect the car, the battery was completely dead, and I heard that you should not try to start a vehicle that was in a flood, anyway, until it can be serviced (I have not taken it in for servicing). I have left all doors (including trunk) open for multiple days, trying to dry everything out, but there is a strong moldy / mildew smell inside the cab and trunk, and visible metal areas of the interior (under seats, etc) are showing rust.

Exterior body is in great shape. No rust showing on exterior except for a small bit on the rear passenger fender (see photos). Windshield has multiple cracks. All other glass, lights, etc. is intact. Tires are in good shape with low miles. Serpentine belt is like-new. Car had regular oil changes / servicing.Two of the four hubcaps are complete, one is partial, one is missing.

This is a great car to either restore or part out, but I do not have the time (or funds) to do either, so I am hoping someone else would be interested.

Being sold as is, with no warranties, etc. Please ask any questions before you bid.

Thanks for looking!

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

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.

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.
