What we have here is a fine running SVT Focus.  It has all the options NADA lists for the SVT plus the audiophile stereo that includes a 6 disc DC changer and a power sunroof that does not leak.  No dents, no rust, no mechanical problems.  All the options operate as they should.  No problems with the CV joints, it shifts as it should.  If you are familiar with the SVT you know that this car has substantially more performance than a regular Focus.  Build quality is also much better than the next generation Focus.  This is the second engine in this car.  The first had a bad main bearing.  Replacing the engine was about the same as a rebuild so I had a used engine put in with almost exactly the same mileage as the car, so the 104K miles is accurate for both body and engine.  I had a new clutch and timing belt installed when the engine went in.  I've driven it for just a little less than 10,000 miles since the install and all is as it should be.  Overall the car is in nice shape with no body damage.  It was a southern car so it has no rust.  The breaks are good, the tires also have about 10,000 miles and are in very good shape.  The steering is tight, the whole car is tight.  The reason for selling is that I have way too many toys and I need to thin the herd.  The car is currently located in southern West Virginia but was in southern North Carolina before this.  The worst thing about it is the flaking clear-coat on the bumpers.  The rest of the paint is good.  The hatch release on the dash works about 50% of the time, but the releases on the remotes always work.  NADA clean trade is $4,450, retail is $6,550.  My reserve is somewhere in between.  Since this is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Of course shipping is at the expense of the buyer.  I will assist with loading but the buyer must make all arrangements.

Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
