My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next vehicle through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of buying a vehicle. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can tell you first hand how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind as you read this description that I am neither a mechanic nor do I operate a full service facility. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description, read my terms & conditions and review each of the photos carefully BEFORE asking questions or bidding. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD. The Mountaineer is an upscale version of the reliable Ford Explorer. I would rate the exterior condition of this Mountaineer as AVERAGE for the age and mileage of this vehicle. Overall, this isn't a bad looking truck. There is an obvious rust hole over the right rear fender. The rockers don't look bad but I believe I can see a little rust there, too. Please expect to find some scratches and scrapes associated with normal daily use of a vehicle this age. All of the glass and lenses appear to be intact. The chrome wheels show well. The tires are shot and will need replaced in the very near future. Please take the time to read this ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. I would rate the interior of this Mountaineer to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of this vehicle. The door panels are clean and tight. The carpets show some wear but aren't too bad. The drivers seat shows some wear, as does the center arm rest. The other seats show well. The headliner is clean and tight. The power windows, locks, seat and mirrors appear to be working properly. The factory climate control system appears to be working properly. The air conditioning DOES NOT blow cold. The stereo is the original premium Mach Audio which sounds perfect. The dash shows no cracks either. Mechanically, this Mountaineer will need some work. The 5.0L V8 starts easily but idles a little rough and could use a tune up. The engine does not smoke and I did not see any leaks. It keeps proper temperature, good oil pressure and makes good power. The bushings up front feel old and should be replaced. The brakes do a good job at stopping this truck. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly. The FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY IS MAKING NOISE AND WILL NEED REPLACED. It is drivable the way it is. I've driven this truck roughly 50 miles. You can probably get another few months to a year out of it until you absolutely need to replace it depending on how much you drive. A good used front axle assembly can be purchased for about $350 and takes about 3 hours to replace. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next vehicle through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of buying a vehicle. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can tell you first hand how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind as you read this description that I am neither a mechanic nor do I operate a full service facility. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description, read my terms & conditions and review each of the photos carefully BEFORE asking questions or bidding. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction.
Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD. The Mountaineer is an upscale version of the reliable Ford Explorer. I would rate the exterior condition of this Mountaineer as AVERAGE for the age and mileage of this vehicle. Overall, this isn't a bad looking truck. There is an obvious rust hole over the right rear fender. The rockers don't look bad but I believe I can see a little rust there, too. Please expect to find some scratches and scrapes associated with normal daily use of a vehicle this age. All of the glass and lenses appear to be intact. The chrome wheels show well. The tires are shot and will need replaced in the very near future. Please take the time to read this ENTIRE DESCRIPTION.
I would rate the interior of this Mountaineer to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of this vehicle. The door panels are clean and tight. The carpets show some wear but aren't too bad. The drivers seat shows some wear, as does the center arm rest. The other seats show well. The headliner is clean and tight. The power windows, locks, seat and mirrors appear to be working properly. The factory climate control system appears to be working properly. The air conditioning DOES NOT blow cold. The stereo is the original premium Mach Audio which sounds perfect. The dash shows no cracks either.
Mechanically, this Mountaineer will need some work. The 5.0L V8 starts easily but idles a little rough and could use a tune up. The engine does not smoke and I did not see any leaks. It keeps proper temperature, good oil pressure and makes good power. The bushings up front feel old and should be replaced. The brakes do a good job at stopping this truck. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly. The FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY IS MAKING NOISE AND WILL NEED REPLACED. It is drivable the way it is. I've driven this truck roughly 50 miles. You can probably get another few months to a year out of it until you absolutely need to replace it depending on how much you drive. A good used front axle assembly can be purchased for about $350 and takes about 3 hours to replace. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.
Vehicle Pick-up:
Arrangements must be made in advance to pick up a vehicle. We do not have regular hours, we operate by-appointment. We are very flexible and accomidating with days and times to pick-up, but must have advance notice or there is a very real possibility you may show up and no one is here.
Accepted Payment Methods:
Vehicle will be immediately available for pick up if paid by cash in person. Payments made by wire transfer, check (cashiers or personal), or money order will be subject to verification of funds by my bank. The vehicle and title will be held until all funds have been cleared by my bank and made available for withdraw.
Paypal is accepted for the initial deposit only...not the balance. This includes Bill Me Later.
All vehicles shall be removed within 14 days of auction's end. Any vehicle left longer than 14 days without arrangements being made prior to the end of the auction will be subject to a storage fee of $5/day.
Bid Retractions/Changes:
I take selling vehicles on eBay very seriously. In the event of any bid retraction or bid change, it shall be the right of the seller to honor or not honor the outcome of the auction. This descision will be made at the sole discretion of the seller and can be made at any time while the auction is live or after the auction closes regardless of any circumstance. Additionally, any member who changes or withdraws a bid may be permanently barred from bidding on future auctions.
The seller may, at its sole discretion and for any reason deemed appropriate, cancel any bid or restrict any member from bidding on current and future auctions.
By placing a bid on any of our auctions, each bidder asserts that they have read and agree to our entire terms & conditions as well as eBay's terms & conditions. Additionally, each bidder enters into a binding contract to purchase the item they are bidding on should they be the successful bidder. By placing a bid on any of our auctions, each bidder asserts that they understand the risks of purchasing a used vehicle and have fully excercized their ability to complete any diligence needed prior to placing their bid.
Fee and Tax Information: The only fee added by the seller is our $149 administrative fee. This is used to isolate our fixed expenses such as eBay fees, transportation, processing, ect., and is not applied to any transfer costs incurred by the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for any and all costs associated with transfer of ownership including, but not limited to: registration, sales tax, tags (including temp or in-transit tags), title transfer, inspection, and transportation expenses.
This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.-->
