For sale 1998 Ford Escort SE. 178782 original miles (miles may go up by a few due to me driving it to keep it maintained around the block). Never smoked in. The car runs and drives really well for its age. My girlfriend received it from her father as a graduation present and drove it for 4 years. It has been very reliable and great on gas and has been mostly driven on the highway going back and forth to school and work. Only selling because she upgraded to a newer car and wont be able to afford insurance for 3 vehicles.

I have just recently replaced the following within the past year:

New Battery 12/2013 (Autocraft Silver)

Rear struts and springs (Quick strut)

Rear brake lines

Front ball joints (MOOG)

Front sway bar links (MOOG)

Plug wire set (Bosch)

Double platinum spark plugs (Autolite)

Front brake pads (Duralast)

Transmission flush

Power steering flush

New air filter (Motorcraft replaced at 177500 with oil change)

The timing belt and water pump has been also replaced as of 2/09 with approximately 140,000 miles (receipts retained)

The A/C will need to be recharged, I believe its low on refrigerant. Last season it blew pretty cold, but not perfect. Recently its not as cold, but gets colder the more you drive. Compressor still kicks on so more than likely a pound or so of R-134a could be added. (Possible small leak)

The alignment is a little off, so it will need a new front end alignment

Passenger side door has been repainted the closest color I could match to the color code for the car. We got the car with a huge dent in the door panel next to the handle from a deer running into it while driving. The door wouldn't latch so I picked up a whole new door assembly from LKQ that was red. Everything latches properly now and I repainted the inside and out of the panel to match.

Besides a few cosmetic issues, the car would be great for daily commuting or a first car. I haven't had any serious issues besides the normal wear parts such as brake pads, and suspension parts. I am asking $1500 O.B.O. as is. I am willing to come down a little bit in price, but no low ball offers. If I cant sell at a reasonable price, I will keep it for myself to drive daily. My name is Tyler and if you have any questions feel free to message me, or call/ text me at 269-635-2765.

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
