1999 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0L V6 with 120k on the odometer.


Dependable vehicle, I've had 2 explorers in my lifetime.  Parts are also inexpensive because these vehicles were the most mass produced SUVs in the world, and still hold that record.  I've had 1 5.0 Explorer and 1 4.0 Explorer, the V8 5.0 gets about 12mpg, this gets 18, and on the highway at 65 will easily get you 20mpg.  The V6 is powerful enough for any situation, and saves your wallet.  This engine was designed well, and easy maintenance down the road for a tune-up or whatever it needs in another 100,000 miles.

Working 4x4
120k on odometer
Alloy Wheels
85% Tread left on tires (see in picture)
BRAND NEW Brake lines, all 4 brake lines replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
BRAND NEW Brake pads
BRAND NEW Fuel lines, send and return line replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
All fluids SERVICED.  Trans, Oil, Coolant.  Not even 20 miles on the fluids.
Runs COOL, NOT HOT!!
Interior isn't nasty with stains all over, average 14 year old interior
Exhaust NOT rusted out, in good working order
New spark plugs
Replaced Center Console Hinge that was broken from being leaned on, all ready to be leaned on for another 120,000+ miles!
Ice cold AC, HOT Heat
All power windows work
All locking mechanisms work
Cruise control works
Fog Lights work
All headlights/taillights work
Dash light works, interior lights work
Rear Windshield wiper works
Defrost works
No radio in the pictures, *BUT IT DOES COME WITH A RADIO* (The factory radio had buttons that were not functioning)
Roof Rack
I'm currently getting 18mpg
Strong Engine
Trans is the original, has not been replaced.  Standard 4R70W Transmission found in every ford/mercury/lincoln vehicle of the same era.
Power Steering Pump might need to be replaced, when you're reversing it is stiff, but when you're driving its perfectly normal and fine, very easy and cheap fix.  Not quite sure why it's doing this but at 120,000 miles it might be time to replace it. It's a $50 part.
Little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors same spot on both sides, rust on bumper
Wheel wells are rust free!
Few scratches and little dings on body, not much at all actually, pretty nice for a 14 year old vehicle
little tear in the seat, nothing major.  Again, pretty average for a 14 year old vehicle
No accidents!

Clean nice running vehicle with 4x4, title in hand.  Good first vehicle, winter vehicle, 2nd vehicle, boat puller, whatever the case may be this is the perfect vehicle for any situation.  The ONLY thing it MIGHT need is a $50 power steering pump, which doesn't affect ANY driveability. As I said it is normal when you drive, and stiff in reverse.  Power steering pumps are very easy to replace, you can do it on your own or it would only cost you 2 hours in labor at a shop.  Running well and ready to go.

**My reserve is set at a price that is reasonable with the labor that I put into the vehicle.  I redid all the brake lines, the fuel lines, and put new pads on all the brakes, new plugs, AND serviced all the fluid.  And fixed the center console that always breaks in these vehicles.  All of this would have cost you $1,800-2000+ if you went to a shop!! My reserve price is right around that area... a little lower :) She's all fixed up for a new owner. 

That's everything there is about the vehicle listed above, message me with questions!  I have my phone on me 24/7 and I'm always ready to respond!  Thanks for reading, happy bidding.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.

2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
