My success rate has been 100%. The reason for that is simple,be fare with people and hopefully they will return the favor by being fare and honest back too you!.At least 3 of the vehicles I have sold over the past 7 yrs. have been to out of state buyers,one from Texas,one from Oaklahoma,and one from Indiana. I live 5 minutes outside of Chicago and 5 minutes from Ohare airport.The reason for this long explaination about my history is simple. These adds cost money and time and I don't wish to waste either your time or my money on someone bidding for fun. If you make a bid please be sure of what you are doing. All I ask is that you follow through with good intentions of buying this vehicle, if you happen to be high bidder.Do your homework and trust, that what I tell you is honest, and please extend me the same.Now about the van.
The van is a 1997 Ford Econoline E150 conversion van.The vehicle has 148262 miles on it. The van is in very good shape,overall and considering it is 16 yrs old I think it is great! The exterior of the van is totally dent and ding free. The paint still shines beautiful and does not have any scratches or rock chips to speak of.There is some rust over the wheel wells and I took pictures of both wheel wells to show that it is not bad! The interior is very clean especially the seats both front and back.The dash and all door panels are excellent and clean.The carpeting in the back has worn and has some discoloration,but not bad considering all of the action the back gets.
The van has the following features.It has a 4.8 Triton V-8 engine,the smaller of the 2 V-8 engines available, better on gas! The van has power everything inc.windows, door locks seats and power mirrors.It has and am/fm cassette,I know a joke! Right? The van has front and rear air which blows cold and heats hot! There is a homemade center console which is great,and behind the front 2 seats is a flat screen t.v with dvd,great for kids!The van has a tow package and a romote starter- alarm too!The van has 2 captains chairs in front and 2 behind- no third row bench seat so the van seats 4.The space in the back has always come in handy for hockey equipment or to haul band equipment while still seating 4. A bench can be purchased for cheap money and bolted down,I never had the need!
The van runs excellent and the tires are strong-Michellins.Everything works mechanically including all the gauges.I cant think of anything the van needs.The title is clear and so is the car-fax,never in an accident. I can not think of anything else,and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me and I will be glad to answer as honestly as I can. There will be "no reserve" on this van so whoever is the high bidder-no matter what price will win the auction!

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging
Tue, Mar 31 2015The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.
