I will be a lot more honest about this vehicle then the previous seller was with me. I purchased this vehicle with the intention of fixing and using for regular towing, but vehicle needs more work/investment then I am willing to put into it. I do have clear title in hand.
The vehicle does run and can be driven for short distance, but I suggest towing or trailering it to your location if you are going to take it out of town. I have only owned for a short period of time, but will share what I know and what I was told by previous owner. Vehicle appears to have a strong running engine and transmission shifts fine. All power options work (did not test heated mirrors but was told they do) and I have tested them all, including the self leveling air suspension and cd changer. Vehicle has 4WD, AWD, and 2WD options and was told all worked, but honestly have only driven it in 2WD mode. I see no reason why they would not work. As a result this vehicle would make an excellent parts vehicle if you need to replace or repair something on current Expedition. There is a tear in the side of the driver's seat in the leather (see pics), but besides that the interior leather is in great shape. Has a K & N style filter and chrome air intake (see pics).
The hood is delaminating (see pics) and there are various nicks, scratches, etc. on paint.
If you want to restore this to a running vehicle for use then please see what is wrong with vehicle below. I have listed everything and noted what can be bypassed and still drive the vehicle.
The BAD:
Original listing had wheel wobble when driven - needs front idler arm and ball joints and an alignment to correct completely.
Grinding noise when driving - front calipers were replaced recently by previous owner but done incorrectly so they need to be removed and reinstalled or possibly replaced.
Master cylinder was replaced by previous owner, but is bad and needs to be swapped out again. As a result it can cause brake pressure when brakes are not depressed, so if driving and it engages it will feel like it is dragging and can smell brake burning, so this is why I do not suggest driving more than short distance. This and the calipers being on incorrectly could continue to cause more damage if continually driven.
I have estimates from local shop for all of the above repairs if interested - please contact me.
I was told shifter arrow did not line up, but in reality the column shifter also has to be played with to shift from gear to gear and is hard to get into park. That combined with the arrow not lining up makes you have to feel what position you are in when you shift. Vehicle can be driven with this unrepaired and not sure how much it will cost to repair. I was able to figure it out with no issues after driving only a couple of times, but it is going to be annoying if you plan to drive it regularly.
Was told it had exhaust leak by previous owner and found that one of the bolts attaching the exhaust to the manifold broke off and was clamped back to together. This would involve redrilling or replacing manifold to correct completely. Also exhaust hangers appear to be missing and is held by wire (see pics). I did not inspect exhaust further than that.
Vehicle has been done South, but according to car history it spent time in New York. As a result, the rear undercarriage is severely rusted and the rear trailing arms need to be replaced if planning on driving the vehicle. One actually has rusted part way through (see pic). I don't suggest driving vehicle for more than short time before repairing if not parting it out.
If you have any other questions about vehicle that I have not addressed in listing or pictures, please contact me.
Payment of $500 deposit through Paypal required within 48 hours of listing end. Remaining payment within 7 days in full unless other arrangements are made with me prior.
If you wish to pay entire amount through Paypal/Bill Me Later, please contact me before making offer or clicking Buy It Now.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy
Sat, Oct 25 2014If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid
Tue, Jun 17 2014It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand
Thu, Jun 8 2017Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.
