You are bidding on: 2005 Mustang with 4.0L V6. I am selling on behalf of current owner that now needs a larger vehicle for a growing family. This is your opportunity to purchase a great looking, great performing Mustang at a price much lower than your local dealer or Kelley Blue Book value. Vehicle has passed annual NC state inspection, and is ready for a new owner. Mustang is sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle will also be listed for sale locally. However, once bids are received for this no reserve auction you are bidding to win. Please review the entire review of Mustang listed below in BOLD prior to bidding. Bidders with no prior feedback on eBay must contact before bidding, otherwise your bid will be removed.

I've purchased several vehicles through eBay Motors, and realize how important an accurate description is when buying/selling a vehicle online. Although most vehicle purchase transactions have exceeded my expectations, there are unfortunately some sellers that will over promise, and under deliver.

My objective is the opposite: to provide you with factual, non-biased information, and assist you throughout the purchasing process to ensure your new vehicle is equal to, or even better than your expectations. The review of the Mustang may be lengthy, but I want to give you as much information as possible. Inspections are encouraged, test drives are welcome, and I am available via e-mail or phone to answer any questions you may have. If local inspection or test drive isn't an option for you, I can provide a video of component of the vehicle you're interested in upon request.      

I've had the opportunity to drive this Mustang several times recently. Not only is it a good looking vehicle, it is also enjoyable to drive and reliable. I am impressed with the strong suspension, tight steering, and smooth engine. This Mustang delivers surprising performance alongside great gas mileage. Oil and filter were just changed, and there are no known mechanical issues. The current owner is the 3rd owner of the vehicle, and the majority of the miles are highway miles. This vehicle shows no signs of abuse. The factory paint still shines, and the interior is definitely well above average condition. This Mustang is a great daily driver, or perfect for fun on the weekend.

Cranks right up. Smooth idle. Engine is quiet. No knocks or strange noises. Steering is tight, suspension is firm. Accelerates smoothly with available V6 power, brakes with force. Tires have at least 50% tread left.  (see pictures)  All lights, knobs, buttons, and levers function as they should. AC blows ice cold, heat is scorching hot. 6 Disc CD/MP3/AM/FM stereo functions with no blown speakers. Wipers were just replaced, defrost function is impressively quick. Paint is overall in above average condition. Power options include: windows, side view mirrors, drivers seat, door locks. Keyless entry, with both remotes are included.

There are the typical minor rock chips/dings that come with a pre-owned vehicle.  This car is beautiful overall, and only upon close inspection will the imperfections found with any pre-owned vehicle become apparent.
There are dents and scratches on the drivers side rear corner. (see photo) 
There are scratches on the drivers side front bumper, and an amateur attempt to touch up a rock chip on the drivers side of hood. (see photo)
The (3) of the premium wheels are in good shape, (1) has significant curb rash,  (see photo)
There is a dent/scratch below Mustang graphic on passenger side. This looks like it happened in a parking lot, and is only noticeable when very close to vehicle. (see photo)
There are some scuffs where the rear bumper meets the trunk that appear to have occurred from loading/unloading. (see photos) These should buff out, but I have not attempted to do so.
The tachometer is not functioning. All other gauges are functioning properly. After doing some research online, this appears to be a common issue with 2005 Mustangs. As this car is equipped with automatic transmission, this does not effect daily use or performance. Nor does it in anyway impact any other mechanical component of the vehicle. However, in an effort to provide full disclosure, I want all potential bidders to be aware of anything I've noticed that isn't perfect. 
There is water on the ground around the perimeter of the vehicle in some pictures as it was washed prior to photos, but there are no fluid leaks that I've observed.

This Mustang has NOT been professionally detailed. Took the vehicle through a carwash prior to taking photos today. It cleans up well, and will look even sharper after waxing. A speed buffer and touch up paint would make this car look close to showroom new, but I will leave that up to the new owner. I did not clean the engine off prior to posting, so that you have the opportunity to see what it looks like as-is. Usually, an engine that has been pressure washed or greased up is hiding something. If there is any information you are interested in that I forgot to list, please contact me and I'll be glad to assist you.

Note: As this car is still being driven, mileage will continue to increase. If exact mileage is important to you, please contact before bidding, and I will provide photo of odometer.

Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. Or, you may pick the vehicle up in person. I will be available to coordinate with your shipper.

Deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end, and is non-refundable. Once payment in full is received, Mustang will be released for shipping or local pick-up. Title and bill of sale will be shipped via UPS with tracking number if vehicle is shipped, or executed in person if you prefer local pickup.

PayPal, Cash, and Bank Certified cashiers check are accepted methods of payment. Please keep in mind that with Paypal or Certified check options, there will be a waiting period until payment clears before vehicle is released.
  

Again, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I look forward to assisting you.
Thanks for reading, and good luck bidding!

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
