  • Merc tracer parts

    I know this is probably a stupid question , but I found a 4 door mecury tracer in the junkyard today. The dash looked the same as a festiva. Does anyone know if maybe the doors and fenders will fit a festiva. Btw the engine is already gone, so no engine donor. Also he has an aspire. He wants $150.00 for the rear axle and e brake cable. Is that to much to pay?

    Not a bad price on axle if it's in good shape with good bearings.
    I gave similar price for one with 2 like new tires.
    As for body parts no they won't interchange.

      JYs are more like $100 on the axle. And I doubt they'd care if the e-brake was attached.

        Don't know where you are located but Aspires in e. Canada are long gone from the roads and wrecking yards and if you do find one behind a barn or out in a field the metal is become so soft and corroded that you wouldn't want parts off it anyway.
        I think Tracers had the same wheel bolt pattern (4 1/2 inch) as Festys and this might get you nicer sized 13" rims.

            90s Tracers yes, they are just like 90s Escorts.

            80s Tracers are 323s, nothing like the Escorts at the time, 2 doors being built in Japan, and a 4 door variant built in Mexico.

              You can't use the rear axle in a festiva. It's an independent rear.

              Well not that you *can't* use it, its just not a bolt in like the aspire rear.

                Found an 88 Mercury Tracer today at Charleston LKQ.
                There was only 44,000 on the odometer and the car looked good.
                Doesn't look like anyone has taken anything off it yet.
                I'll get some pictures up as soon as I get them transferred from my phone.
                How much would the 1.6 engine be worth?
