Bought my '05 Mariner in August last year.I saw this M sitting at a local Ford Dealer's lot as a 9 y.o. vehicle with only 68K miles on it.
3.0 V6, Ford's Inelegant 4WD, Leather, sunroof, heated front seats, heated mirrors, etc., etc. (Luxury Trim), for 11K (which I talked them down on).
Yeah, the Mariner is not equipped for the same off-road use as the Tribute or Escape (read that somewhere but cant remember)
but for my daily drive-style, its perfect. It does kinda annoy(?) me that other than Rims and expensive tires, not many people "mod" their Mercurys. I hope to be able to change that. With currently 77.5K miles on my M and hopefully another 122.5K left, I have a fair share of ideas..
Heck, I may be one of the only ones to frequent the Mariner Manor, but I'm glad they made it.
The M owners can bounce ideas off each other, with our own little sub forum easy to find
