Used 2005 Mercury Mariner for Sale

This vehicle is great in the snow; the traction it provides is amazing. It was 4WD and is high enough off of the ground to get through snow. There is more cargo space than a sedan, but just not quite enough to cover all of my personal needs. If space or seating is a primary concern, then a larger vehicle would be optimal. These vehicles are known for the transmissions to go bad. I had mine replaced already, and knowing people in the automotive business, this is not uncommon. Other than that repair, there aren't many problems that I have had with it. All of the features it has are nice, but it doesn't have too much electronic stuff that isn't needed. This means, in my eyes, that there is less stuff that can break. It has a roof rack, which I frequently use to carry my bicycles on. It has also been used for extra cargo space. Something that I didn't like about the vehicle is the spare tire jack. It was very difficult to use, and took a long time. I know it is that way because it saves space, but if I was on the side of the road when it happened I would've been very upset.

When I bought this car I was looking for something that was easy to get in and out of. I also needed a vehicle that could accommodate a trailer hitch so I could carry a mobility scooter. I wanted seats that were not material as I needed a covering that allowed easy sliding and turning to get in and out. I wanted an SUV for easy entry to the back but I wanted a smaller SUV, not one the size of a Suburban.
