Up for auction with small reserve( Scrap Price) is my 1999 Escort Zx-2. Has been a reliable daily driver until drivetrain issue developed last week. To busy to repair and my loss could be your gain. Still runs like a champ( 136,000 miles and was tuned up with new plugs and air filter day before she went down) but she either has a axle shaft issue or trans issue. Has the 5 speed manual trans. Starts and runs fine and goes into gear fine but once you release clutch will not move. Just put new custom 14"wheels &185 65 r14 tires from tire rack on her right before this. Tires maybe have 100 miles on them. They alone are worth my reserve. Body is nice with one small problem area on hood. The paint shows good from 20 feet but has clear coat issues( fading not peeling). Interior is original and very nice with no rips or tears.Car got over 30 mpg for me as my daily and still runs great. Will also include original wheels and several new parts i was going to install to include motor and transmission mounts and thermostat.This would be an awesome car to repair or part out for someone with the time to do so. Escort will need to be towed or trailered to new home as she will not move.Will have no problem helping load vehicle but winning bidder is responsible for arraignment and cost of transport. Thanks for bidding and please US bidders only. Bid only if you are serious and no zero feedback nonsense please as I will just delete you unless you contact me first. The reserve is so small please pay $200 in full at the end of auction. Thanks for bidding and good luck.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
