1987 Mercury Wagon--No Reserve

For sale in a no reserve auction is a nice '87 Mercury station wagon that looks good and drives nicely. It is being sold for a neighbor who purchased the car 20 years ago for his now deceased wife. He had it painted a dark blue with no chrome showing in accordance with their religious beliefs. It has been driven infrequently the past few years since her passing and could use a good tune up and fresh gas. The car has been maintained over the years with an engine rebuild at about 100000 miles.There has also been work done on the automatic transmission.
The car starts easily in all weather and idles nicely. It runs cool and the radiator was re-cored recently. With the 5 liter engine the wagon cruises nicely at Interstate speeds. Compression was checked on the engine and all cylinders are within normal specs.
The interior has also been completely redone in a dark blue velour material that looks great with no flaws. The dash top looks bad as there is a crack in the middle and both speaker covers have deteriorated. The headliner looks good with no flaws. All the gauges and lights work well. The turn indicators do not flash properly. The electric radio antenna does not operate.The car interior stays warm with a new heater core and with a recharge, he A/C should be good.
The body is in fine condition and the paint holds up nicely. There is no evidence of any collision damage, the door gaps are good and the body is straight as an arrow. The only rust on the car is in the foot well of the third row seats.The car has nearly new tires with plenty of tread and has the beautiful mag turbine wheels. The brakes have been recently redone and work well.
This wagon will only appreciate in value in the future and will provide a handsome ride for any new owner.
