Used Mercury Mariner for Sale

It is a smaller SUV and came with heated leather seats, sun roof, power everything and 4W drive, so I was excited and had high expectations for this car. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met. I have had to have the car in the shop many times and spent more money than I thought I would in maintenance. I had to completely replace the transmission and within 2 weeks had to take the car back into the shop because the transmission was not working right again. In addition, the interior has not help up well. The fabric is peeling from the ceiling and the dash is faded and checking. The vehicle handles well, but the brakes seem very soft. I really have to push hard on them for a stop. It is comfortable to drive. The auto start and the heated leather seats are amazing features on those cold and blustery winter days. As a parent to two small children, the latch system and rear anchor points make installing car seats a snap. Also, the fold down seats allow me to easily fit 8' lumber into the back of the car for the weekend honey-do list projects.

My 2005 Mercury Mariner is my favorite car that I have owned. I bought it used but I love the size and the style of the SUV. The look of it is still really good even after being 10 years old. It has great pickup on the highway. Even with a new transmission in it at 90,000 miles it now drives like new. My only dislike is that I feel the sunroof has a bad seal and has to be fixed. It fits comfortably 4 people and still has great trunk space for luggage or shopping trips. I feel completely safe driving it and still looking stylish even for an older car. It does not truly eat gas like other vehicles though it could more a little more fuel efficient. Overall this SUV is truly my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. I would love to be able to get another one like it between the shape, look, feel, driving capabilities of the SUV, space in it and the features it came with.

The car is very spacious. There is a lot of room in the back for storage which is great for shopping trips and vacations. The seats in the back fold down which allows enough room in the back for a person to lay down. I have slept in the back of this car during many camping trips and always have plenty of room. The look and style of this car is very pleasing to the eye. The moon roof and 6 disc CD changer brings extra enjoyment. I feel very safe in this car. I have driven it across the country twice and have never had any problems. With it's automatic 4-wheel drive it handles great in the snow. It accelerates quickly and breaks quickly. I recently had to get the alternator replaced and found out that where the alternator is in the car requires a lot of labor to get it changed. It is also not very good with gas mileage but that is to be expected with most SUVs.
