Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect.  4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive.  Only 12k miles.  No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  Has been fleet serviced since new.  Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed.  Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior     

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes.  There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body.  There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge.  There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed.  Overall nice looking truck as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.   

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear.  There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted.  Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear.  A/C blows cold.  Radio and other devices work fine as they should.  SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor.  The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain.  This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard.  It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times.  No evidence or smoking or pets.  Fresh and clean inside.   

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of factory alloy rims. 

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability.  Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed.  Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so.  IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE.  FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.   

·  Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction's close.  Balance to be paid within 3 days via US postal money order (no others will be accepted due to counterfeit MO's going around), certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution with local branches only, or cash (in person only, DO NOT mail cash).  A prep fee of $150.00 will be added to the winning bid price.  This applies to wholesale/dealer purchases as well.  Item must be picked up within 10 days of auction's close unless you make other arrangements with me.  I'm flexible and happy to accommodate.  If not, buyer agrees to pay $20/day storage.  Sorry but I can not have vehicles sitting here for weeks or months.  IF DEPOSIT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HRS OR PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 3 DAYS, VEHICLE WILL BE RELISTED OR SOLD TO NEXT BIDDER.  Cyber_lot.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."
