New Mercury cars were on sale in America for 72 years before the brand was discontinued in 2011, so many used Mercury models are still to be found on the second-hand market. Mercury used to be Ford’s in-between brand to bridge the gap between the mainstream Ford products and the luxury Lincoln brand. To this end, it competed with GM’s Oldsmobile brand, now also defunct since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Mercury sold a huge variety of cars over the years, including sedans, coupes, wagons, convertibles, and almost every other body type. If your favorite Mercury for sale in the USA is a 1950s Monterey Convertible, you might have a bit of trouble finding such a Mercury near you, as these are now highly collectible. However, you can still find and buy a Mercury near you easily enough if it’s one of the more recent models. There are still thousands of Mercury used cars to buy in America and the best place to buy Mercury cars online is to shop on CarBuzz’s used-cars search page.
Shopping for a Mercury is as easy as selecting the model you’re looking for and setting a search radius for cars near you. The rarer an old Mercury is, the more difficult it would be to find one and you might have to increase your radius. Finding a cheap Mercury second-hand certainly won’t be a problem, though, as a turn-of-the-century Mountaineer or Mystique can be picked up for a few hundred dollars, but remember that cheapest is not always best if that low price buys you a lemon. You can set filters for your search Mercury models according to fuel type, model, mileage, year, price, and so on. For more information on Mercury models, peruse the CarBuzz site.
A Mercury can last a long time if cared for but certain models are more prone to faults and it pays to be aware of the most troublesome ones. The 2003-2005 Mountaineer SUV has a plastic panel on the tailgate that tended to crack. The 2003-2005 Grand Marquis sedan has been known to suffer from failing headlights, 2005 being the worst year, while the HVAC systems of 2003 and 2004 models can act up. The 2002 and 2003 Sable sedans can suffer from failing transmissions and the 2000 model from uneven running. The 2008 and 2009 Mercury Mariner SUV had power-steering problems; 2008 models also suffered from transmission problems. Check the NHTSA website for recall information on the Mercury you’re considering and make sure the recall work has been performed. A car with a vehicle and full service history - and no lapses in its maintenance history - will be less likely to go wrong.
