55,565 Miles 6 Cyl. All California Car 4 Door New Goodyear Tires A/c on 2040-cars
Sunnyvale, California, United States
This is really a great car, fully checked and maintained,
comfortable daily driver with factory A/C, stereo all the bells and whistles! Adult owned, All California Car – so it’s never been in
harsh weather. We bought the car from a “little
Old lady” that used the car as a grocery getter and so it subsequently was
rarely driven. When we bought the car (+/- 6 months ago) for our daughter
we had a qualified mechanic go over the car from A to Z, I didn’t want to leave
any stone unturned in that we ensured our daughter would be inheriting a safe
car to drive on campus. And with all that, plans changed and she decided
dealing with campus parking wasn’t for her. It’s really a great car and one you’ll easily fall in love
with Car rides smooth – Thanks to the 4 brand new Goodyear tires
and dialed in suspension You’ll get the original owners-manual, all of the maintenance
records I have and 3 chip imbedded keys – not easy to replace nor cheap for
that matter. Nothing funky coming from the tailpipe or unusual smells
from the engine, you’ll get an occasional water drip from the A/C while
operating but otherwise no leaks, drips or errors. Recent smog check done to prepare for sell, Smog check
technician remarked “what a beautiful car, runs like a dream” sorry don’t have
that statement Notarized. As previously mentioned spend the money on pulling out the minor
dent, a dash cover and a cover for the rear center brake light and you’ll have
a car close to ‘rolling off the assembly-line perfect’ as you’ll find, though
keep in mind it is 15 years old and none of us are as good as we were 15 years
ago. I am sure I’ve missed a lot but ask any questions you have and I’ll be
happy to go into more detail. Now for the PAYMENT TERMS - At the conclusion of the
auction, the winning bidder must make a deposit of $250.00 via PayPal (within 3
days). The remaining balance must be received within seven days. SHIPPING AND PICK UP - I cannot help with shipping. However,
if you have a shipper that you wish to utilize I will accommodate after you
make arrangements. If you choose to pick the car up in person, I can meet you
at the San Jose, CA airport. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the
right to end the auction at any time. Actual mileage on the car at the time of

Big electric trucks won't save the planet, says the NYT
Tue, Feb 21 2023When The New York Times decides that an issue is an issue, be prepared to read about it at length. Rarely will a week passes these days when the esteemed news organization doesn’t examine the realities, myths and alleged benefits and drawbacks of electric vehicles, and even The Atlantic joins in sometimes. That revolution, marked by changes in manufacturing, consumer habits and social “consciousness,” may in fact be upon us. Or it may not. Nonetheless, the newspaper appears committed to presenting to the public these pros and cons. In this recently published article titled, “Just How Good for the Planet Is That Big Electric Pickup Truck?”—wow, thatÂ’s a mouthful — the Times focuses on the “bigness” of the current and pending crop of EVs, and how that impacts or will impact the environment and road safety. This is not what news organizations these days are fond of calling “breaking news.” In October, we pointed to an essay in The Atlantic that covered pretty much the same ground, and focused on the Hummer as one particular villain, In the paper and online on Feb. 18, the Times' Elana Shao observes how “swapping a gas pickup truck for a similar electric one can produce significant emissions savings.” She goes on: “Take the Ford F-150 pickup truck compared with the electric F-150 Lightning. The electric versions are responsible for up to 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions per mile.” But she right away flips the argument, noting the heavier electric pickup trucks “often require bigger batteries and more electricity to charge, so they end up being responsible for more emissions than other smaller EVs. Taking into consideration the life cycle emissions per mile, they end up just as polluting as some smaller gas-burning cars.” Certainly, itÂ’s been drummed into our heads that electric cars donÂ’t run on air and water but on electricity that costs money, and that the public will be dealing with “the shift toward electric SUVs, pickup trucks and crossover vehicles, with some analysts estimating that SUVs, pickup trucks and vans could make up 78 percent of vehicle sales by 2025." No-brainer alert: Big vehicles cost more to charge. And then thereÂ’s the safety question, which was cogently addressed in the Atlantic story. Here Shao reiterates data documenting the increased risks of injuries and deaths caused by larger, heavier vehicles.
Here's the new face of the Ford Ranger
Thu, Nov 27 2014Ford Asia Pacific has put a teaser video on YouTube showing off details on the 2015 Ranger pickup, and at the end we get a quick glimpse of the whole truck. This is the T6 Ranger that we still don't get in North America, but that shares its underpinnings with the Everest SUV recently introduced at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. The Ranger gets a chunkier front end than the Everest, identified by its grille with three floating slats, reminiscent of designs on the previous F-150, and a less-stylized lower front bumper. Ford says it will be smarter, safer, smoother and stronger, but we'll have to wait for its reveal to find out what that means. Meanwhile, you can admire its new looks in the video below.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
