Not a bad van, a good van with a lot of miles - being sold as is/where is. 4 Captain seats, the full couch seat in back pulls down to a bed. With almost 200K miles this work horse has a few issues. I bought the van over two years ago as a transitional vehicle - I've transitioned to my next van. Changed the oil regularly with additive. Lots of dings, a couple small dents, a few small rust spots and starting to leak a bit of oil. The check engine light is on, said to be an emissions sensor by two service garages - and not worth fixing. The airbag light comes on intermittently ( I put a new clockspring in when I bought it - not sure if that's the cause of that airbag light), and the service brake lights will come on every once in a while, however the brakes are good and probably have another 20K plus miles on them. Transmission seems good, but sometimes has a few second pause engaging from reverse to drive. Cruise works, AC works some times, power windows all work. There is a (roughly 12") crack in the windshield that happened with a road rock last spring. I stopped it with a window patch kit and it hasn't advanced in over a year - made it through a Chicagoland winter. The secondary doors on both the side and rear have broken cable stops on the handles, so you have to pull the cables to get them open. Just never bothered to fix them. Missing one hub cap. Carpet has stains and wear, interior has wear - but the vehicle doesn't smell like ick. Rubber is pretty good (see pictures) and all the exterior lights work to the best of my knowledge. If I think of anything else positive or negative - I will add it here right away.

I have attached numerous pictures and have a walk around video, which includes start up and engine running - I will send you that video if you ask. The engine runs smooth..

You can visit the vehicle in North Lake County Illinois area - just ask.

$100 deposit on PayPal within 12 hours of winning bid. Cash balance or bank check at pick up - or you may pay balance in advance on PayPal.

You can drive it home, and with some TLC this beast will go another 100K miles.

This vehicle is listed locally - so I reserve the right to end the listing without notice.

You can see the walk around video and hear the engine run on the youtube video here:

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
