If you have less than 3 positive feedbacks, sorry, but I am requiring you to contact me before placing a bid with a name and phone number, at which point I will call you to verify your interest. If you do not contact me, then I will cancel your bid. This is due to the fact that this item was previously sold to a zero feedback member who never contacted me after the sale. For newer members, I am sorry about this--but if you are legit, there's no problem, just get in touch with me. Also, to ward off fraudulent bidders, I am requiring a paypal deposit for $295 within 48 hours of auction close. If it sells for above $295, the rest can be paid when you pick it up. Thanks for looking. Please read the entire description thoroughly before bidding:

1994 Ford Escort LX station wagon. With title. You'll need a tow truck to pick up in Nashville.

Needs a new TIMING BELT in order to run. Other than that, it is in good shape mechanically, and has lots of good parts. Cosmetically, it is terrible. I used it as a work vehicle for about three years, so it has lots of battle wounds, and I never made any effort to repair cosmetic issues. See photos. I did, however, maintain the mechanical aspects. Recent repairs include a new serpentine belt on August 2011. On the same date I had two new tires installed--Hancock 185/65 R14. The Hancocks are virtually new, as the car broke down in the Spring of 2012 and hasn't been driven since. The other two tires are mastercrafts, and they are in very good shape. In the summer of '09 I had extensive maintenance done including: PCV tube replacements, thermostat, water temp sender, spark plug wire set, new battery (currently needs charging), brake job, and new master cylinder. I have records for all those repairs.

The car has a busted odometer, so I have no idea how many miles it has. It is stuck at 78,000. I would estimate 150,000 or so.

Here are the issues that I can think of:

Needs new TIMING BELT to run.
Oil needs to be topped about twice a year. I would say two quarts a year. It was like that when I got it around '06, and it never got any worse or better. There were never any oil puddles under the car.
Radiator fluid needs to be topped occasionally.
The guy who had it before me got rear ended and put a replacement hatch that is red instead of gold. The rear bumper is still pretty mangled.
The front bumper is sagging on passenger side.
The interior rubber pulls of both front doors are coming off.
The passenger door cannot open from inside.
The passenger seat is terrible. I had placed some batteries on it, and some acid spilled. I neutralized all the acid with baking soda, but the seat is in terrible condition. The passenger seat belt is also shot.
The driver side window does not go up all the way. Leaves about a nickel's width.
The windshield is cracked.
I'm pretty sure the AC does not work. Also, radio does not work.
IMPORTANT to know that the temp gauge signals overheat, but it is NOT overheating. My mechanic looked at this issue extensively, replaced thermostats etc, and tested all the temperatures. It is an issue with the gauge, not the engine.
The ignition on the steering column stopped turning with my key, so my mechanic rigged it so that you can turn it with any key. It still looks like a normal ignition.
Hood has hail damage.
Passenger side exterior mirror has been taken off the car. I have the part and hardware and it can easily be re-installed.

Overall, it's an old car that has seen better days. When the timing belt went, I decided to move on. I have described all issues to the best of my knowledge, but I am selling this car AS IS. There could be some other minor issues with it that I cannot recall. So, again, being sold AS IS, NO RETURNS. Please ask all questions before bidding. If you want to check it out, contact me and we can arrange a visit.

Thanks for looking. Feel free to ask any questions. Check my seller feedback and bid with confidence.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
