Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States

THIS SHARP 2005 MERCURY SABLE SEDAN HAS HAD JUST TWO NON-SMOKING OWNERS. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. ENGINE IS THE 3.0 DURATEC DOHC V-6 VERSION. EXTERIOR IS FINISHED IN WINDVEIL BLUE, A NEW COLOR IN 2005. MILEAGE IS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY HIGHWAY DRIVING. A FRIEND IN NEW YORK STATE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. I OBTAINED IT JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL TROUBLE-FREE TRIPS BETWEEN PA AND MINNESOTA WITH MINIMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND RESPECTABLE FUEL MILEAGE. (27-28 MPG ON THE INTERSTATES) ON THE MOST RECENT PA TO MN TRIP, THE A/C PERFORMANCE WAS SUBPAR. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME ON THE MINNESOTA END TO GET THIS ANALYZED BEFORE I HAD TO GET BACK TO PA SO IT IS SOMETHING WHICH WILL NEED YOUR ATTENTION. THE SOLE COSMETIC FLAW WORTH NOTING IS A MISSING PIECE OF FRONT BUMPER COVER. THIS IS SHOWN IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS AND WAS NOTICED DURING A COLD SNAP THIS JANUARY. MOST LIKELY, SOMEONE BUMPED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND MATERIAL IN THE BUMPER COVER WAS BRITTLE FROM THE COLD. THIS WAS NOT NOTICED AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MISSING SECTION. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FENDER, GRILLE OR LIGHTS. THE SABLE HAS BOTH A CASSETTE PLAYER AND FACTORY INSTALLED MULTI-DISC CD PLAYER WITH MACH SOUND SYSTEM. THERE IS A POWER SUNROOF, POWER DOOR LOCKS, POWER DRIVER'S SEAT AND REMOTE TRUNK OPENER. TAN LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN CLOSE TO NEW CAR CONDITION. I HAVE A CLEAN MINNESOTA TITLE IN MY NAME.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It'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.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now 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."

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
