There are maybe 5 or 6 websites including E-Bay where like 90% of everything being sold can be found. Within all those sites there have not been over the last 6 months that I have been watching, or right now, any used Chateaus with low miles, in great shape for a price close to mine. Look, all you want, wait as long as you like, but don't expect another chance for a Chateau like mine very soon.
I offer any buyer the right to cancel any sale, and get full refund of any deposit, if upon LOCAL inspection, the van does not meet expectations. This offer does not apply in any way except when an inspection takes place here. Once the van was to be picked up and shipped there are no returns of any kind what-so-ever. That is more than fair. I address this again in the listing. Thankyou for your interest. It's a real nice van.
I am only the second owner. It was in outstanding condition when I bought it and I have strived to continue the fine care of the van. I believe the condition it is in now shows the results of those efforts. Being a true, Ford built Chateau it has all the options, and UNLIKE MOST CONVERSION VANS THAT ARE OVER 7-10 YEARS OLD, MY WINDOWS HAVE NO LEAKS AND NO RUST-OUT THAT PLAGUES CONVERSION VANS. The 5.4 V8 Triton runs strong and smooth and the 4 speed automatic with overdrive shifts without slippage. The van rides level and smooth and holds a good straight track. There is no smoking from the exhaust. All guages work properly.
There are power windows, drivers' seat, mirrors, door locks, with remote fobs of course, cruise control and steering. Front and rear heat, with good HOT heat from the rear unit, front and rear AC as well, tinted windows, upgraded fabics on all the seats, and 4 captains reclining seats with arm rests. Both front seats also have lumbar adjustments, AM/FM radio with casette and CD conrol features, tilt steering wheel, full running boards, trailer hitch and chromed bumpers including the sought after rear step bumper with protective cover. The tires have about 75% tread left and are a better quality matched set.
The interior is excellent. The headliner pristine, the seats void of tears, rips frayed surfaces etc. The carpet is also in superb condition. On a scale of 1-10 I honestly give the interior a solid 9. Minor scruffs on some places on the side panels. You will love the feeling of pride you will get to enjoy any time someone gets in the van.
The body has never been in an accident. There are a couple of rust spots but nothing really major. You should be very satisfied with the condition of the body. The paint has a lot of nice, even shine to it and the alloys are also in far better condition than what you would normally expect. As I said, I am only the second owner and this van has never been neglected.
The van is advertised locally and except for the use of the Buy It Now Option, may be sold and this listing terminated whether or not bids have been placed.
IF THE LISTING IS STILL UP THE VAN IS STILL FOR SALE. DON'T WANT TO GAMBLE? THEN BUY IT NOW.
A DEPOSIT OF $1500 IS REQUIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE TIME OF A WINNING BIDDER OR SOMEONE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. THIS MUST BE MADE INTO MY PAY PAL ACCOUNT. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE WINNING BIDDER OR BUYER.
THE VAN IS 30 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO AND CAN BE INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN. IF BUYER WANTS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, BEFORE MAKING FINAL PAYMENT, THEN SUCH DESIRE MUST BE MADE KNOWN TO ME WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE PURCHASE AND MUST BE DONE WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR USING THE BUY IT NOW OPTION.
IF BUYER DECIDES THE VAN DOES NOT MEET ALL EXPECTATIONS THE SALE CAN BE CANCELLED AND THE DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED, SO LONG AS IT HAS CLEARED MY BANK. IF BUYER DOES INSPECT THE VAN AND CHOOSES TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT WILL BE DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS. NO PENALTIES WILL BE IMPOSED IN THIS EVENT EXCEPT FOR ANY FEES E-BAY OR PAY PAL MAY NOT REFUND TO ME.......... I CAN'T BE ANY MORE FAIR.
IF BUYER CHOOSES TO FORGO AN INSPECTION THEN PAYMENT IN FULL MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING OR PURCHASE THROUGH THE BUY IT NOW OPTION. PAYMENT OF THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE, OTHER THAN THE $1500 DEPOSIT MUST BE MADE IN CASH DURING NORMAL BANKING HOURS OR BY DIRECT MONEY WIRE TRANSFER INTO MY BANK AND THE VAN WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL ANY AND ALL FUNDS HAVE BEEN FULLY CLEARED BY MY BANK. ANY ARRANGEMENTS FOR SHIPPING ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND ONCE THE VAN IS OFF THE GROUND I HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WHAT-SO-EVER.
Naturally I have to include the following: This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage.

The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
