Used Mercury Mariner for Sale

The Mercury Mariner is a great little SUV. This vehicle has plenty of room without feeling like you are driving a bus. It is stylish and polished. It is a cut above the Ford. The chrome makes it stand out. It has gotten great gas mileage. I have never owned a vehicle for this long, and it is still going strong. The leather interior is nice. The heated and cooled seats are great. The sunroof is awesome on nice cool days. I have had zero issues with this vehicle. I have 130,000 miles, and it is still going strong.

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.

I really like that the Mercury Mariner can handle well in the snow (living in the northeast), that it is stylish, and that the maintenance costs have been low for an older, used car. There is plenty of storage space, I feel safe when driving it, and have truly enjoyed owning this vehicle.
