1986 Mercury Colony Park LS review from North America
"Great car - too bad Ford discontinued its large station wagons after 1991"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator on this car has been replaced 5 times since it was purchased in 1995. It seems to last an average of 16 months before needing replacement.
Door Locks, windows and radio have always been a problem.
Door locks replaced once and are now frozen.
Same with window motors.
Radio shorted out some time ago.
Some minor rust under paint.
General comments?
Other than regular maintenance, (tires, muffler, brakes, etc.) there haven't been any major problems affecting the drive ability of the car.
The engine and transmission are original and have never been rebuilt.
The car is very reliable.
