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.

We purchased this SUV-crossover-predecessor for my wife after our second and last child was born. It is a surprisingly luxurious ride complete with leather interior, heated seats and sun roof. The only big thing it lacks is an exciting electrical system, but it's easily forgiven considering the year it came out. We purchased it used at 116k and it runs like a dream. The only thing we have had to replace was an ABS sensor, which I did myself for $50. Before that, there was never any repairs required. The only thing I will fault Mercury for is the paint along the wheel well. It's oxidized and darn near full-on rusting at this point. I started noticing other cars driving around that have this similar problem. It can look wretched if it's not taken care of and I've been trying to think of ways to not spend the quoted $2k to get it fixed. But apart from that cosmetic flaw, it's a dream and I'd buy it again, given the chance.
