This is our beloved “Mothership” - FIRST AND FOREMOST  I have bought and sold many cars on eBay and one thing is paramount FULL DISCLOSURE so here you go, this is the story of The Mothership


I am the original owner, purchased this from Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor, MI in Feb. of 2001.  She left the lot with 20 miles on her and she will come to you with over 328,000 miles of experience and adventures.  Her favorite place on earth is the U.P. in Michigan, if you’ve never been there, just point her north, set the cruise and enjoy the ride, she knows the way.  She has also taken us to FL, AL, KY, OH, IL,& WI.


We are a family of 5 (six including Fritz our German Shepard) and this truck is a part of our family, but the time has come to part ways.  My oldest son was 4 almost 5 when I bought this and he’ll be graduating High School this coming year.


For the last 2 years, we have only driven her on family vacations every Thanksgiving & Christmas we spend in the UP (750 miiles round trip).  When we all travel together, we all PREFER to take the Mothership vs. our new cars, but we can no longer justify the cost of multiple vehicles.  The decision to offer her to a new owner has only taken us 2 years to make :-)


She has ZERO mechanical issues.  She does has some cosmetic issues and I will detail everything below.  This is a 12 year old vehicle so expect to see the typical signs of use and wear.  


I did not invest in the industrial size bottle of armor all to make the pics look shiny and fake.  For those of you looking for a great deal on Ford’s awesome 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel you’ll find it in the Mothership


Here is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... this is the stuff I would want to know if I was going to bid.  


The technical stuff (features and options) will come from Kelley Blue Book.


THE GOOD

  • She has Ford’s bullet-proof “Million Mile Motor” 7.3L Turbo Diesel runs a smooth and strong as she did when new

  • Oil Changes & Reg Maintenance all done on schedule.

  • A/C is cold Heat works great

  • New Jasper Transmission installed at approx 285,000 miles

  • Front Hubs replaced with WARN (lifetime warranty) locking hubs

  • Shocks are Monroe (Lifetime warranty)

  • Brake Pads (lifetime warranty)

  • ALL fuel injectors & Glow Plugs were just replaced

  • Luke at L&A Auto in Jackson, MI (highly recommend him) has been taking care of The Mothership since she was just a pup.  All records are available for the serious bidders

  • New (lifetime warranty) Alternator just installed this Spring, apparently Ford only builds these to last 326,000 miles - go figure :-)

  • New serpentine belt installed last winter

  • New adjuster pulley installed same time as the belt

  • New Fuel Filter just installed these were typically replaced every 5-10k miles

  • Rear climate controls and radio controls all work perfectly

  • No Accidents

  • NO AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE KITS EVER USED ON THIS TRUCK


THE BAD

  • Passenger blinker lens broken - see pictures

  • She will need new tires within the next 3000 miles

  • Rear window will not stay up on it’s own in the cold weather hydraulic arms should probably be replaced

  • Driver side door speaker seems to have stopped working - all the rest are fine

  • The Rear driver side hinged window, the one by the spare tire, the hinge is broken, the motor to open it works fine, but there is a pin that holds the hinge together and it is broken... never been a problem for us because the spare tire is there anyway and Fritz likes the other window open to get his smells along the way

  • There was some body work done on the driver side rear pillar, someone backed into it while is was in a parking lot.  Local body shop did the repairs, no structural damage.

  • The driver side back dutch door was replaced, I put a hole in the original door backing up to the trailer (oops) again, no structural damage.  New door, some paint, she was good to go.

  • Pull down DVD screen with wireless headphones we are working on troubleshooting this, but during the last use (school field trip) we can't seem to get the DVD out of the machine... so there may be a bonus DVD of The Incredible's included if we can't figure out what's wrong.


THE UGLY

  • Various scratches, Stains see pictures, I did my best to show you the most obvious ones, nothing outside what you would expect for a 12 year old vehicle that has “raised 3 kids” and been the go-to vehicle for every school field trip.

  • Chip in the windshield right below mirror mount - see pics

  • Passenger mirror had to be “frozen in place” with silicone.  The brackets that hold the mirror in place broke a couple winters ago while we were scraping the mirror and I just haven’t felt like paying the $500 Ford wants for a new mirror assembly.  The heated part of the mirror still works fine

  • The back support bracket for the running board on the driver side has rusted out and needs some support.

  • Driver side just behind the passenger door there is a dent and scratch from a blue post office box (turned too sharp too soon)


I think this is everything, feel free to email, we will do our best to reply asap.  My BUY IT NOW is below the Kelly Blue Book info listed below.

  • FROM KELLEY BLUE BOOK - Estimated Blue Book and Features

    • Excellent $12,282

    • Very Good $11,932

    • Good $11,732

    • Fair $10,832

THIS IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE AUCTION EARLY.  THERE IS NO RESERVE.  $500 DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL IS NON-NEGOTIABLE IF YOU’RE NOT READY TO BUY PLEASE DO NOT BID.

Cheap gas has Ford investors nervous over 2015 F-150

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Gasoline in the US continues its weeks-long descent with prices down about 13 cents a gallon over last week to $2.544, which is lower by around 69 cents/gallon from this time last year, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Many drivers are welcoming the lower bills at the gas station as a fantastic holiday gift, but Ford investors are somewhat spooked over the potential sales implications for the 2015 F-150. Market analyst Rod Lache of Deutsche Bank recently downgraded Ford's stock from a buy to hold, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, and his report to investors may have played a part in a drop in the company's share price. Lache praised the truck's powertrain and lightweight technology, but wrote, "We question whether consumers will pay the price for this content with $2-$3 gas," in his report, according to the website. Whether buyers actually turn away from the F-150 is mostly speculative at this point because it only recently began production. With around 700 pounds of weight loss thanks in parts to its new aluminum parts, the latest Ford pickup offers up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway, plus segment-best payload and towing ratings. Prices are up somewhat in part to pay for additional standard features, though. Still, any further dip in Ford's stock is bad news this year. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the company's shares are down about 7.5 percent this year. On December 15, the price fell to $14.28, the lowest since November 10. Related Video:

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]

Fri, Jul 3 2015

Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
