Mercury Mountaineer (1997)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Condition:
Whenever I have to sell a vehicle I am always straight forward about anything wrong with the vehicle. I know what it is like to buy vehicles and not be given the full information so I will do my best to tell you everything I know that works and doesn't.
With this vehicle it is perfectly good to drive, but the problem came across just recently is that the fuel pump is not working. I checked to see if it was the relay, fuses and emergency fuel pump button, but none of those are the issue. Anytime you turn the power on to the car the pump never kicks on. I of course am not a certified mechanic, but that is the only reason that it will not start up from what I could tell. It is also what certified mechanics have told me is the issue. The car does turn over and everything else works, but that is the only major problem. I am only getting rid of because it is time for me to move on to a new vehicle otherwise I would get the pump replaced.
The odometer on the car reads 224, 799, but it did stop working for a brief period till I got the steering wheel column repaired and it started working again. So it really should be around 225 range. However on the title I will put 224, 799 down for what it reads.
Now for the smaller things:
The good:
Drives amazingly well and sounds amazing.
All electrical items work in the car.
There are no leaks.
Has power mirrors.
Backseat AC and volume works.
The AC works perfectly fine.
Lights all work on the car.
Outside temperature gauge works.
Comes with 2 sets of keys.
Has privacy windows besides the driver, passenger, front and rear windows as seen in the pictures.
Vehicles comes with a clear New Jersey title.
The defects:
On one of the pics you will see the panel that covers it. The original owner forgot to close the sun roof one time and water damaged the upholstery that it had so they removed it. However the sun roof works perfectly fine and does not leak.
Has minor rust besides the usual rust on the bottom of the vehicle.
The body has minor scratches and dings nothing serious.
The drivers window can go down, but the motor for it go down has lost traction to make it go down easily. All other windows go down with no problems.
Drivers side air-bag sensor is going bad. (Been assured the air bag will not go off randomly)
