Selling a yellow 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 - going to college as freshman and can't have a car. I bought it as a first car from a women who kept it in pretty good condition because her daughters boyfriend was a NASCAR mechanic and worked on the car if there was a problem.

When I got the car the radio did not work, so I had to go out and buy a new one. I bought a brand new Kenwood stereo system with a CD player, USB port, AUX input, FM/AM Radio, and Pandora capabilities costing a total amount of about $300.  I also had all 4 tires replaced on the car only a couple of months ago so all the tires are brand new and ready to drive safely ($500 at Costco)
However there are some problems that go with the car as well:
  • The vehicle report shows two accidents that were reported by the previous owner - the repair estimate addresses the strut and engine mout/frame alignment in their estimate - I still drive it though.
  • The back small triangle window on the passanger side is broken, but its covered over with duct tape.
  • There needs to be a new tie rod replaced on the front
  • There needs to be a replaced motor mount.
  • Car can be driven but my parents won't let me.

I took the car to our local mechanic and have added the description of what they said needs to be fixed. Quotes have run from $600 - $2000 to fix and I don't have the money. Since I'm going to school and can't have a car, I have to sell it so I don't have to pay insurance on it. (I've uploaded a picture of that estimate as well - $1500 - but thats in Bernardsville NJ - which is always a rip - but it's my folks garage.)

paid $2700 for the car in Aug. 2012. It's valued on KBB at $3600 and I put over $800 into it with the tires and radio. So I have over $3500 invested.

Conditions of Sale:

  • No Reserve - someone will win.
  • Have to pick up within 5 days of auction close with auction win amount.
  • Paypal in advance or cash at pickup
  • Car is sold as is as stated.

Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp

Mon, 17 Nov 2014



Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
