1981 Mercury Marquis needs a new home.

Currently located in Victoria, BC.
 
2 tone cream, tan. vinyl roof [seen better days] 
Not a pristine auto, a bit tatty in the interior  
[headliner separating.] but has a solid drive train. 
 
Minor rust, not serious. no penetration in trunk or  
passenger compartment. 131k klicks [approx.].
V8 Auto [4 speed overdrive] 24 mi/gal hwy 
 
Burns NO oil between oil changes, [faithfully done  
on or before recommended times/mileages.] 
 
Transmission flushed, new pan gasket, filter changed. 
All brakes just redone. New pads, rotors, wheel cyl, shoes.
Exhaust system new last spring. 
   [Cat has hole, where the air injection pump tube enters, 
    that makes a little noise] Plug it, or replace cat or use 
     by-pass pipe. 
Power everything. 
   [Seats, windows, locks, brakes, steering, cruise control] 
Air Conditioning not functional. 
   {Charged, but vacuum control switch under dash not working, 
    I wasn't going to spend the money to fix it, for our mild climate] 
Super good tires, many tens of thousands of miles left.  
   {GoodYear Aqua-Tread, damned expensive, when new] 

Solid transportation. Solid safe tank. [g] 
    Great for that New Driver! Keep your teenager safe!
Lovely Highway cruiser. 
AM/FM/8track [for you retro types]  
    We'll even thrown in our carefully collected 
    [from 2nd hand shops] 8 tracks. 
 
No reason why this car won't give many more miles of service. 
 
$999 or BO. A bargain when you realize that all the costly  
            stuff is already done.
