Final Parking Space: 1999 Mercury Mystique LS with 5-Speed and 350K Miles

Final Parking Space spotlights a high-mileage 1999 Mercury Mystique LS, described as a likely candidate for the series after a visit to a Denver-area car graveyard. The article notes that two weeks earlier it featured a 1993 Honda Civic with 414,982 miles, prompting the author to show the Ford enthusiast Sajeev Mehta another nearly as-worn vehicle found the same day. While details in the provided text focus mainly on the setup, the piece frames the Mercury as having close to 400,000 miles and positions it for a future full feature. The author also mentions other cars spotted nearby, including a 1969 Chevy-Van in purple and a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. The location is Colorado, and the narrative points to an ongoing “Final Parking Space” selection process.
