I purchased a 2005 Mercury Mariner on 2/14/13 from a local dealer in my area. Within two days the vehicle broke down on me. I did not purchase the warranty (stupid mistake) but I did take the vehicle back to the dealership in which they assured me they would fix the problem. It was a transmission problem fast forward to 03/2015 the transmission went out in the vehicle which cost me around $3,000. That is more than I owe on the vehicle, would not recommend this vehicle unless you want to pay for it twice.
