I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, so I need to sell the car as soon as possible.

Other
92,450 miles
Nearly brand new front tires (only 3k miles)
Nearly brand new battery and starter (less than 3k miles)

Factory owners manual

Operating

All features are fully functional (power locks, windows, radio, head lights, etc.).
Air Conditioning and Heating work excellent.
The parking/emergency brake light is illuminated on the instrument panel (this light came on about 3 months ago). I had this inspected by Goodyear when I had the oil changed and they said it’s a $15 switch that has to be replaced. They didn’t have the switch on hand or I would have had it fixed.  

History

The city of Champaign is the original owner.  The car was used by traffic meter staff for the 7 years it was owned by the city of Champaign. I have all of the original service records for the time the car was owned by the city of Champaign. The city performed all scheduled preventative maintenance in line with the factory recommendations. Thus the car runs like new.

I purchased the car from the City of Champaign in April of 2010 with 82,000 miles. The car currently has 92,450 miles. Since I live in the city, I have only used the car for trips to the grocery store, airport, etc. Thus I have only put 10,000 miles on the car in 3.5 years. Since I have owned the car I have had the oil changed every 3-4 months and minor maintenance, including:

  •          Replacing belt tensioner and belt in August of 2010 with 82,500 miles
  •          Having air conditioning serviced in July of 2012 with 88,500 miles
  •          Purchasing new front tires in August of 2012 with 89,000 miles (40,000 mile limited warranty)
  •          Replacing battery in September 2012 with 89,500 miles
  •          Replacing starter in October of 2012 with 90,000 miles

The car was in a minor front end collision in August of 2011 (5-10 mph). The air bags did not deploy. The hood buckled as a result of the accident and was therefore replaced in August of 2011. You will notice from the pictures that the hood is a slightly different color than the rest of the body as the hood was replaced with a factory hood from a lighter blue Taurus. This is a minor cosmetic issue and can be fixed by having the hood painted or replaced.  

Also, girlfriend hit a pole while parking in 2011. You can see the scratch on passenger side rear door/quarter panel.  Also minor (1 inch) dent (was there when I purchased) near the passenger side door handle.

Price

KBB.com notes the following:

Excellent:            $3,557

Very Good:          $3,332
Good:                   $3,207
Fair:                     $2,807

Given the cosmetic damages on the exterior, the car falls into the Good category (mechanically it would fall under Excellent).


Since I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, I need to sell the car as soon as possible. As such, I am listing the car for $2,500 OBO. I have a free and clear title in hand ready to go.

Serious inquiries only.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
