Used 1988 Merkur Scorpio for Sale near Irvine, CA

I am an adamant fan of this model whose short lived import history in the US has now faded into obscurity. I have owned 4 and the 5th is undergoing a 3 year restoration at the moment. It was very advanced for its time compared to US cars and came with luxurious comfort and a list of technological features. Not for the weak-willed. Parts are difficult to come by, though when found they are not overly expensive. However as time passes, everything is getting more difficult for repairs. I am committed till the end. Tread lightly unless you are a Merkur enthusiast.

I loved having this car, because it had all kinds of weird options on it, like reclining REAR seats, and automatic wipers. Also, it was a very inexpensive car, and it was very reliable. It handled great, was fun to drive, and looked good too. Plus, it was fairly unique. Most people didn't recognize it by name. Getting replacement parts for it was a bit tough though.

Great DD. Gets lots of looks and compliments. Lots of "what is that" or "where is that from" and i like it.

Love the power everything of this car, even electric tilt rear seats. The 2.9L V6 twin throttle body is unique, but the ride is excellent. The front suspension is a little weak where the front control arms are located by the anti-roll bar. But the general shape is Euro with a taurusish look. Turns heads as nobody knows what is is.

so yeah, my car is pretty much amazing. It may not look that great, but hey, A lot of things don't look that great, but they still run freakin awesome, that car is old as hell, and it still runs perfectly
