1990 Mercury Colony Park

Looking awful nice for the price of $2500. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

Dealer site says it has 24k miles on it. I am this :2_thumbs_up_-_anima close to driving down to Houston.

I have to sell my 82 toyota 4x4 pickup before I can get a wagon that nice.

 

Good luck!

Looks like a bargain Mercury Colony Park for the price and condition!

 

Looks spectacular but only 1000 mi/yr??? If so why the lowball price from a dealer? Makes me go hmmm...

Did anyone notice the dent in the roof above the right rear door?

 

Drivers side Di-Noc is shot. I would say 124,000 not 24,000 miles

 

It's priced right, but is it really dusty or is the painted baked?

 

Maybe the car was parked in a carport with the driver's side out??? That seems like the logical answer to me. Might well have 24K on it.

Guys, it really IS possible to have a low-mileage car that looks like $hit, and conversely; a high-mileage car that looks nearly new.

Certainly looks like a 24k mile interior from the pics.

Dent, paint oxidation, and trim restoration might be reason for the price. If it sat for a number of years could have some age issues not related to wear.

Check out the mercury wagon in this guys inventory. I have been drooling over it for a month now.

I really need a 1990 or a 91 with stock shoulder belts in the back seat. My 88 sand beige country squire will have to go eventually.

 

The paint definitely looks baked to me, especially on the hood. Perhaps it could be brought back a bit with a major compounding. These cars still have 5 digit odometers as I'm sure most of you are aware. I would bank on 124k. The interiors in these seem to hold up very well. My 85 is about to hit 175k and the interior still looks like it is only 2 or 3 years old.

 

Country; Rear shoulder straps were a dealer installed option in your 88, so the mounts are built in. All you really need are the rear seat belts themselves to be able to fix that little problem.

This car is the lower line GS model, but is still very nice. The clear may buff out, but I would not be surprised if this one needs a repaint and new wood to make it look really nice. All in all, probably a good quality driver, unless you really want a GS wagon in this colour.

 

Let's hear about your 82 toyota. You might could drop it off here, on your way.

 

'90 Colony Park

My friend has on that looks identical to this. Same color and all. His is an LS and has a lot more miles and some rust too. He's gonna keep it for a while. I have a '91 Colony Park Hearse (First Call car) is actually what it is called. It was also used as a back up hearse in the business. I bought it right out of the funeral home 10 years ago. It had 38,800 miles at the time and now has just turned 40,000 miles. That's only 12 to 1300 miles in ten years. I love this car and will try to get a picture of it on this post if I can and if not will be asap. The conversion company also installed a power moon roof that was not available as far as I know in a '91 GM.

 

^^^ That IS slick! ^^^
