Recently rescued from a few years of my family's outdoor under-the-pines storage here in the mountains of Northern California. Looking for a good home for this otherwise remarkably preserved Bronco II, showing almost no wear and tear. I don't want to see it spend another winter outside here... It is "NON-OPed" so there are no DMV fees here in California against it. It's the 2.9 L V6, "loaded" with an automatic transmission, air-conditioning, power brakes, power steering, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and AM/FM cassette. This vehicle's been sitting and it will need some work before it can return to its former glory. Recent outdoor storage in a very moist microclimate has left it with the following challenges: Engine freeze plugs are frozen or rusted out, so the engine does not hold coolant but it starts right up and sounds fine and will run plenty long enough before it warms up to drive up onto a car hauler or trailer. The service brakes need the master cylinder & booster replaced but the parking brake works well enough for careful yard driving. In the very short distances that I have driven the truck, I have never exceeded 10 or 15 miles an hour, but there were no bad noises, the transmission operated normally, steering felt fine, etc. The undercarriage has minor surface rust, but everything is very solid. The only other things I have noticed is that there is a star chip in the windshield, unfortunately right in the driver's line of sight and one little "V6" emblem is missing from the right front fender. On the plus side, before this vehicle's recent poor storage it was mechanic owned and pampered. The body is remarkably straight. After vigorous massaging I found that the original paint still shines although it does have some damage to the paint and paint loss on the roof. The headliner is perfect and the rest of the very bright red '80's-style interior shows remarkably well with minor color fading to the tops of the door panels, but no noticeable wear anywhere. The interior is a bit dirty here and there and smells a bit musty but looks very good. I have never gotten around to cleaning it or airing it out at all.  This vehicle is sold as is, where is. I have brought it to the fleet repair garage where I work. Please call the shop manager, Peter, at (707) 987-0254 Extn.22 with any questions or to arrange to see this vehicle or if you need more pictures. I can answer emails also. Transporting the vehicle will be entirely the buyers responsibility, but we are available to officiate at its loading. A non-refundable $500 Pay-pal deposit is required of the winning bidder. Balance due in bank wire transfer, pay-pal or cash in person.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
