Howdy, Folks!  I've had a number of great questions about this Diesel Excursion.  The questions have come from neighbors near and far, inc. Michigan, Ohio, and Florida!  I thought I would share some of the information with you, the Bold Bidders!!  Below are some of our conversations this week:  
 
Greetings!  Thanks for the kind reply and questions.  
re:  Does front heads up display work what does it say what the MPG is? 
Yes!  The front heads up display works, and so does the Back-Up Sensor.
We got about 17 mpg on our 2000+ mile trip last summer on the Interstate, and right now it's reading 13.5 around town.
 
re:  Has it ever been "off- road?"
Based on the essentially scratch- free gorgeous/pearlescent ["Oxford White Clearcoat"]  paint finish, I would have to say 'No.'  I'm not the original owner, but doing a walk-around, I could not even find a door- ding from the grocery store/ Sporting Goods/ or big box Hardware Depot.  Really folks, check the photos... she looks nearly NEW... even the driver's seat is devoid of the traditional 'slide-in/out' wear markings / holes.  Oh... I almost forgot:  I am about 6'2" in my boots and I never see the couple of dents in the top.  Tree branch fell?  Golf ball hit?  It's not bad [no leak, etc] so it was "out of sight, out of mind" for us.
 
re:  In the photo, your Inspection Sticker reads 6/'14.  Any problems?
Fresh Sticker now read good 'till 7/2015!  I put on new wiper blades {just because it was near time for such}... and there was absolutely no problem passing the inspection with the EGR Kit.
 
re:  Will you accept a loan check? 
Of course checks are OK.  Even personal checks... they just might take longer to clear.  If you don't have all the financing lined up already, I've gotten really good help from the folk in CA with https://www.mycccu.com, The Christian Community Credit Union... they have the title for this Excursion right now.
 
re:  Do you have any shippers you have worked with before? 
Yes.  The last buyer was in Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas area, but he was in Med. School in CO and needed a 4x4! The shipper we used was excellent.
 
re:  If I decide to come get it myself how fast would you need it picked up?
You or your bank / credit union can send the check... then I can be flexible as to the pick-up date.
 
re:  Do you have a programmer on truck?
When we installed the EGR Kit, the paper-work said that sometimes the Check Engine light will come on...  sometimes not.  Sure enough, the CEL light came on.  We checked the codes and 'EGR' was the only thing showing.  It is my understanding that one of the beauties of having a diesel is that a person can calibrate one's preferences re: power and engine efficiency.  If we were to keep this rig, I would definitely consider getting an all-in-one tuner/scan tool to calibrate the fuel delivery / airflow improvement for instant power, as well as have the "service technician" diagnostic capabilities with its ability to scan and clear vehicle trouble codes.
 
re:  Does it have rear DVD / rear entertainment system? The Excursion does have a nice Pioneer DVD Player/CD/AM/FM radio receiver w/ motorized flip-out 7-inch wide touch screen unit.
 
As one can see in photo [#9?], there is not a rear DVD screen installed for the rear entertainment system.  This is the way I bought it, so we enjoyed the vehicle that way.  I do have a replacement screen [OEM Ford, but not a great one] but I would rather the new owner determine his/her exact needs and preferences as to the exact rear entertainment video equipment.  [If when taking delivery, you decide that the one I have will suffice, we can pop it in place and secure with the two Phillips screws.]
 
Thanks... we'll chat soon!

Greetings friend,

 

I have received another question about the Reserve price...

If you have a number in mind... feel free to float it by me as we are NEGOTIABLE!

 

Here is how I answered the other Bidder:

 

"Here is how I have it listed locally:

 

NADA Book Value Clean Retail = $19,500

[+ ADD Value for: Custom Rims & Tires,

Pioneer Sound, with CD/DVD

NEW Fluids Change, and

EGR Kit], etc...

 

So my Local Asking Price of $18,750 {...or Best Offer}

I think is a reasonable starting price for negotiations.

My wife is quite motivated to sell this as two of our 4 kids just flew out of the nest.  We've incurred a lot of expenses between two graduations [college and high school, plus one wedding within the past two months...  and more college expenses coming!] 

 

We love this Excursion, but it is harder to get the six of us to travel and vacation as much together anymore.  -And we've yet to tow the boat to the water this year with all the other family events!  -So, our family transitions are to your gain!!

 

Feel free to Leave a Message or Text me at..."

Aluminum lightweighting does, in fact, save fuel

Mon, Apr 14 2014

When the best-selling US truck sheds the equivalent weight of three football fullbacks by shifting to aluminum, folks start paying attention. Oak Ridge National Laboratory took a closer look at whether the reduced fuel consumption from a lighter aluminum body makes up for the fact that producing aluminum is far more energy intensive than steel. And the results of the study are pretty encouraging. In a nutshell, the energy needed to produce a vehicle's raw materials accounts for about 10 percent of a typical vehicle's carbon footprint during its total lifecycle, and that number is up from six percent because of advancements in fuel economy (fuel use is down to about 68 percent of total emissions from about 75 percent). Still, even with that higher material-extraction share, the fuel-efficiency gains from aluminum compared to steel will offset the additional vehicle-extraction energy in just 12,000 miles of driving, according to the study. That means that, from an environmental standpoint, aluminum vehicles are playing with the house's money after just one year on the road. Aluminum-sheet construction got topical real quickly earlier this year when Ford said the 2015 F-150 pickup truck would go to a 93-percent aluminum body construction. In addition to aluminum being less corrosive than steel, that change caused the F-150 to shed 700 pounds from its curb weight. And it looks like the Explorer and Expedition SUVs may go on an aluminum diet next. Take a look at SAE International's synopsis of the Oak Ridge Lab's study below. Life Cycle Energy and Environmental Assessment of Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle Design Advanced lightweight materials are increasingly being incorporated into new vehicle designs by automakers to enhance performance and assist in complying with increasing requirements of corporate average fuel economy standards. To assess the primary energy and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) implications of vehicle designs utilizing these materials, this study examines the potential life cycle impacts of two lightweight material alternative vehicle designs, i.e., steel and aluminum of a typical passenger vehicle operated today in North America. LCA for three common alternative lightweight vehicle designs are evaluated: current production ("Baseline"), an advanced high strength steel and aluminum design ("LWSV"), and an aluminum-intensive design (AIV).

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
