Condition: This excursion has been an amazing vehicle for my family. We are selling it because we had twins born almost 2 years ago and are now looking to have our 7th child and unfortunately have outgrown this, the largest SUV on the market. We will be looking to buy a 15 passenger van or something equivalent. This vehicle is amazingly clean for its age and has very minimal ware and Low miles. The drivers seat leather shows some ware on the door side where you slide over the edge. You can see from the pictures that I am missing some hub caps on some of my wheels, new caps have been ordered and will be included in the sale. I ordered a set of 4 to replace all of them. There is a short or something in the driver side power seat that controls the forward back motion. You can get it to move you just have to keep playing with the joystick until it starts to move. I have never had it looked at because I am usually the only one who drives this vehicle and don't need to adjust the seat very often. The only other item worth mention that I can recall is a small chip in the front driver side windshield. This has not begun to crack and I will make sure it is chip sealed prior to pickup. Features: This car is the perfect setup for a family. You have a very powerful engine that gets good mileage and can pull anything with its heavy duty tow package with brake controller. It is also set up with a dual screen rear entertainment system, one in dash screen and the other on the ceiling behind the front row of seats. 3rd row seating allowing for a total of 7 passengers. Large area behind the rear seat for luggage as well as a rooftop luggage rack. This has oversized tires with about 75% wear remaining on the rubber. Premium custom wheels. History: We are the 2nd owner of this vehicle and I purchase it from the GM dealer as a certified used car. I have maintained the car with all the scheduled maintenance as needed. Shipping and Payment: This purchase will be pickup only. We will require a deposit of $750 within 24 hrs. of auction close with the remaining funds and pickup within 7 days after auction close. All funds must be verified and cleared prior to release of the vehicle. Bank certified check or cash only. I do have a loan with a local credit union that will need to be paid so the transaction will happen at the credit union to ensure both parties protection on the exchange and proper documentation on the release of title to new owner

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
