Location:

Up for bid is a two owner,109,000 mile, 2003 Ford Explorer XLS, 4.0 V6 engine with automatic/overdrive transmission.  It is 4 wheel drive, has P/W, P/S, P/B, and P/Locks.  This Explorer runs and drives extremely well and has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles.  The transmission was rebuilt at approx. 75,000 miles, and in the recent year has had a new battery, alternator, tune-up, ball joints and rear brakes.  The front brakes and rotors were replaced 2 weeks ago.  It has four excellent Michelin tires.  The interior is very nice.

We had planned to keep this car for the next several years, however, last week, we pulled out of a gas station and struck a concrete divider.  It will need a passenger door (local wrecking yards are charging $250.-$400. for a door, even some white ones are available).  The bottom of the front fender as well as the rear door has some very minor damage.  There is no damage to the rocker panel.  Before this incident, it had never been in an accident.  We did not have collision insurance on the car.

We have decided to buy a new car, and sell this Explorer without repair.  Therefore, it is being sold as-is, without a Maryland state inspection.  It has a clear Maryland title (not salvage).  The Sirius radio receiver shown in the pictures is not included in this sale.  A $500. deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end.  Transportation costs to be paid by buyer.  Full payment within 7 days of auction close.  If you have questions, please ask! Checks will be held the customary time for clearence.  The car and title will not be released until funds clear my bank.  Cash will immediately release car.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
