La Grange, Illinois, United States

The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following fleet vehicle for sale/auction:

2009 Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door, 4.6L 281Cu. In. V8 FLEX SOHC Naturally Aspirated, mileage: 91,660 miles

This vehicle is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty; neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL and NO returns will be accepted and price adjustments given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is BOTTOM LINE what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!

Again, this vehicle has 91,660 original miles.  The vehicle has no notable body damage or rust-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents-nothing major!  The vehicle has power locks, windows, mirrors, trunk release, power driver's seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (push switch and remove ignition key and car will stay on, however, car cannot be placed in drive and stolen), rear defrost, dome light, interior lights, and spotlight ALL IN GOOD FUNCTIONING CONDITION.  The vehicle also has manual tilt steering wheel, power adjustable gas pedal, AM/FM stereo, and air conditioning all in good working order.  The vehicle is equipped with cruise control, however, we did not use it often, so we do not know if it works (probably works).  The vehicle has driver's seat and passenger-seat air bags.  Lastly, the vehicle's exterior lights, lamps, signals, wipers, defrost, etc. are all in working order.  There are NO illuminated warning lights on in the dash indicating any malfunctions with the vehicle.  Lastly, the vehicle's tires are in good condition (they were replaced 072013 and in good condition).

The vehicle shows normal wear-n-tear regarding scratches and dings, however, there are NO major imperfections in the vehicle's body.  The exterior of the roof has a couple of "plugs" from holes drilled in the roof for the light bar that was attached and removed.  The police de3cals were all removed from the exterior, however, glue is very slightly visible.  A good detailing should eliminate the glue from the decals left over.  The interior roof liner has a smaller hole cut in between the driver and passenger seat, which once housed a police camera system, now removed.  The rear removable seat (vinyl) is brand new, however dirty from being in storage-it will need to be wiped off.  The front seats are in good condition with no tearing, however, they will need to be cleaned.  The interior vinyl flooring is in good condition, however, again, will need a good cleaning.  The following reflects the service record on the vehicle for "more major items:"

Radiator replaced on 033111, A/C Condenser replaced on 041811, Blend Door Actuator & Motor Assembly replaced 050911, Cooling Fan Sender, Motor & Fan Assembly replaced 060711, Air Bag Jewel/Warning Lamp, Water Pump Assembly, and Intake Manifold/Thermostat replaced on 062411, Driver's Seat Belt Buckle Assembly replaced 112911, Manifold Intake, Gaskets, Thermostat, and Ignition Wire replaced 021712, Alternator replaced 032912, Tires, Left Inner Tie Rod Ends and Alignment completed 040912, Sway Bar Links replaced 052412, Front/Rear Brakes, Serp Belt, Right Outer Tie Rod, and Alignment completed 100212, Transmission Service/Flush completed 101812, Front Driver's Seat Rebuilt 112912, Trans Assembly, A/C Condenser replaced 042213, Blower Resistor, Air Bag Jewel/Lamp/Breaker, and Instrument Cluster replaced 051313, 4 Tires replaced on 072013, A/C Compressor, Accumulator and A/C Recharge completed 100113, Vehicle Involved In Minor Accident on 030414 (Front Passenger-Side Bumper/Headlight).  All Repairs Completed To The Amount Of $1,300.00.  On 040114, the vehicle was at the dealer, at which time an electrical issue under the dash was repaired which was "blowing" fuses.  The vehicle currently has an oil filter adaptor leak in which the dealer charges approx. $300.00-this repair was NOT made.  The vehicle will eventually need brakes replaced-fine for now though.  Lastly, we were notified this year of a safety recall on the vehicle for the steering column shaft, which we have not repaired.  The paperwork will go to the winning bidder and the repair at the dealership is free.

DISCLAIMER:  The vehicle, again, is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle. The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty; neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL and NO returns will be accepted and price adjustments given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is BOTTOM LINE what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  BUYER BEWARE:  This vehicle was a police fleet vehicle and used as a patrol unit until it was replaced with a newer vehicle.  Potential bidders are encouraged to view the vehicle in person prior to the bidding process, as there may be defects or undetected problems we are unaware of.  Bidders may have an independent inspection completed on the vehicle prior to the bidding process at their own expense.  The winning bidder is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or contacting a private shipping service to ship the vehicle at their own expense within 7 days of the close of the auction or contacting us to make arrangements for additional time needed.  WE WILL NOT DELIVER OR SHIP THE VEHICLE!!!  We have described the vehicle as thoroughly, completely, and accurately as possible, however, we will not be held responsible for undetected or unknown problems or incorrect specs.

Should you have any question or would like to view the vehicle in person, please contact me through eBay email, ask a question through the auction site, or telephone me at (708) 579-2334 and follow the prompt.  I am currently working 7:00am-3:00pm (CST).  If I am unavailable at the time of your call, please leave a voice mail and I will return your call as soon as possible.  The winning bidder may pay in full upon pickup of the vehicle with either Cash or Certified Bank Check ONLY, at which time a Bill Of Sale and Clear Title will be provided.  Any taxes, title fees, new license plate fees, Secretary Of State or County fees (if applicable) are the responsibility of the winning bidder.  Lastly, we do accept PayPal as payment.  Again, you may pay in full upon pick up.  Good Luck!!!  Sgt.

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.
