The Mercury Tracer: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Mercury Tracer; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the Mercury Tracer before buying one.

What to check on the Tracer

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Reading the spec sheet

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Practical details

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

Who it is for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

Rent the Tracer for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Tracer tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. The years table on this page shows where the Tracer changed. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Mercury Tracer from us first.

Buying the Mercury Tracer

Does CarmaCars sell the Mercury Tracer?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Mercury Tracer before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
