THIS IS AN 02 EXPLORER THAT I BOUGHT FROM A TOWNSHIP IN PA. VERY WELL MAINTAINED, 4 NEWER GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, NEW BRAKES, FRESH SERVICE AND MORE. THE EXTERIOR IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL CRACK IN FRONT BUMPER COVER. INTERIOR IS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. IT'S PRICED SO LOW BECAUSE IT NEEDS SOME WORK. THESE EXPLORER'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THIS CAR IS NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT SHOULD. IT WILL WHINE AND SHIFT THROUGH ALL THE GEARS, BUT IT TAKES LONGER. I'VE BEEN TOLD SHIFT PACK, PUMP, ETC BUT REALLY DON'T KNOW. WEATHER YOU BUY THIS ONE OR NOT, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TRANS CHECKED W/ ANYTHING OVER 100K. IF YOU WERE TO BUY THIS VEHICLE, I CAN GIVE YOU THE NUMBER TO A REPUTABLE TRANS SHOP WHERE YOU CAN BUY AN UPGRADED (FIX THE FLAWS FROM FACTORY) TRANSMISSION W/ 36,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR $1,100 SO IF YOU'RE MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND CAN SWAP IT OUT THIS MAY BE PERFECT FOR YOU. THAT'S THE BIGGEST ISSUE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WILL WHINE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WHEN COLD THEN STOPS AND WORKS FINE SO NOT SURE WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. THE ENGINE RUNS VERY STRONG AND SMOOTH. IF YOU NEED TO SHIP, CHECK OUT WWW.AUTOMOBILESHIPPINGQUOTES.COM FOR SOME REALLY GOOD RATES. LIKE ANY USED CAR IT WILL BE SOLD AS-IS CONDITION

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
All the details on Plug In 2014 electric vehicle conference you could ever want
Wed, Aug 6 2014One of the best parts of the Plug In 2014 Conference in San Jose, CA last week was getting to listen in on thoughts about the state of the plug-in vehicle industry from people who have been involved with it for ages. They bristle when you call them the "Old Guard" (learned that one the hard way), but these are the people who have been through a number of ups and downs with plug-in vehicles, so they've got what we call perspective. Their knowledge was on full display in the three plenary sessions, which the Plug In Conference organizers have given us permission to share with you. Each is at least 90 minutes long, so make sure to set some time aside to enjoy the discussions after you download them (any help with making them streamable would be appreciated). Follow us below to see what we've got to offer. Opening Plenary (audio link). "The Road Ahead – Delivering on a Vision for Sustainable Transportation." Moderated by Mark Duvall (director of energy utilization at EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, and a long-time EV advocate), this panel featured: Jack Broadbent, Executive Officer / APCO, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Pat Romano, President & Chief Executive Officer, ChargePoint, Inc. Aaron Johnson, Senior Director, Customer Programs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Brendan Jones, Director, EV Sales Operations & Infrastructure Deployment, Nissan North America, Inc. David W. Cash, Commissioner, MassDEP Dan Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis Highlights: Educating drivers to "get over the gas station" is a key strategy, how Level 2 and DC Fast Charging are really "a new paradigm," that there have been well over 214,000 EVs sold in US as of July 2014 and where Nissan sees huge potential for more EV sales (Northeast US and medium-size cities like St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Wednesday Morning Plenary (audio link). "Getting to the Mass Market – A Discussion of Ideas for Widespread PEV Adoption." Moderated by John Gartner, research director for smart transportation at Navigant Research.
