1993 Ford Escort Station Wagon 1.9l on 2040-cars
Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States
|
1993 Ford Escort spent the last two years sitting up. Was started from time to time. Few days ago I put a new battery and started driving it around. Recently started making a weird whining noise hard to explain I believe its coming from the transmission but not sure. I plan to continue driving it as well as have a mechanic look it over while this auction is up and will update if anything changes. Heater works. A/C worked just seemed to take a little longer than I remember to get cold. Vehicle can be used for parts or an everyday vehicle if given a little tender care. Previous owner said it did not have power steering but a mechanic once told me it does have a power steering pump that is not working. I have never bothered looking further into it since it has never been hard to steer. I have listed a reserve simply to avoid it selling for $5.00 or something to that effect. Other than that not looking for a particular price just want to get rid of it before it goes to waste. I am not experienced in mechanics or selling a vehicle so any further information needed please send me an e-mail with any info you would like to know that I have not mentioned.
On Jan-17-14 at 07:46:39 PST, seller added the following information: Just got the car back from the mechanic shop. Mechanic said he drove it longer and further than I have and said he believes the noise is in fact coming from the transmission and he did notice rough shifting and a few slips. But couldn't tell me more since he doesn't work on transmissions just motors. He also said there was some hesitation here and there from the motor that can be easily fixed with a full tune up and some injector cleaner. The car does have power steering which he says worked fine after putting fluid in it but leaked all out of the high pressure line. I priced the line at O'Reilly's for $25. I will buy one and leave in the back seat upon the vehicle selling. On Jan-20-14 at 16:43:06 PST, seller added the following information: Brought it back to the shop today cause it started running horrible. Same mechanic looked at it and said its the same issues with needing a tune up injector cleaner ran through it and so on for sitting up so long. He said no damage has been done from me driving it. Only a day left in the auction so I'm just gonna park it in the mean time. ----------------------------------------------------------- Left up same description from first auction. |

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
