Used Mercury Tracer for Sale

I currently drive a 1999 Mercury Tracer, after purchasing it used from a private seller about six month ago. I cannot speak highly enough of this car! Although it's nearly 15 years old, it's mechanically sound and runs incredibly smoothly. It's a 4-cylinder and has excellent gas mileage, probably about 32 mpg. It's a fairly small car, and correspondingly has a fantastic turning radius. Since I live in a big city (Chicago) and don't drive very often, I couldn't ask for a more appropriate fit. Between the gas mileage it gets, the turning radius, and the relatively low maintenance required, it perfectly serves my needs.

We have had this car for about 3 years and it has only been in the shop twice. Back in 2012 the timing belt went and they did the water pump at the same time. Then this past week for a drive axle that broke. I mean come on, this car has lasted 20 years and needed just these repairs. It is the second car we have had of this make and model but the first was a 1997. I have no complaints.

I only got this car a few months ago. It is 23 years old and has been neglected badly for some time but still show potential of being a great car. With a few repairs it is proving to be a very good vehicle.
