 This is a 1998 Ford Explorer. This car is not perfect, but it is in Excellent condition for it's age and mileage. This Car has some quirks, and I will try to list them in a separate paragraph below.
  As you can see from the looks this car has been very well taken care of. The body is in Excellent condition for it's age, as well as the wheels and tires. The wheels have been kept clean for 200,000 miles and have no pitting in the aluminium. The doors are solid, the rear fenders are clean , inside and out. Most Ford explorers rot from inside the fenders from water that gets in from the wheels. I have preserved these fenders, and have included pictures of them from inside the hatch with the panels removed. The engine runs, and starts good. There are no leaks of any kind. The engine oil stays so clean that it is hard to read the dipstick even after all the miles.  I am selling this car, because my registration runs out in February, and I am not interested in renewing it for another 2 years.  I am listing this as a NO RESERVE auction with a very low starting bid. I am doing this because I know this car will bring what it is worth. I am selling it AS-IS. It is a good reliable 200,000 + miles vehicle.
    Here are some of the quirks, The timing chain is noisy. The antilock brakes pulsate when the vehicle comes to a stop. There is some rust on the rocker panels. There is also some clearcoat fade on the hood. The check engine light comes and goes because of a failing catalytic converter. The converter also rattles because something has come loose inside. I Have had this problem for the past 6 years and have been able to get the car inspected by disconnecting  and reconnecting the battery and taking it for a 50 mile drive before the inspection.
   This car is currently on the road, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this anywhere.
 
 NO SHIPPING AVAILABLE, Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements. If you need help arranging pickup , delivery of shipping, Please contact me before bidding, and I will see what I can do to help. Thanks for looking. My Stores Logo

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
