It will need a muffler in the near future (at least I think it would) It does have NEW/NEWER Brakes Rotors and Pads, Battery, Radiator (had a leak, so I just had it replaced other then fixing a used one). The chrome ring on the front driver rim came unglued and lost while driving, it looks a little tacky,but nothing wrong with the rim. Steel rims with factor chrome. If you have any questions please ask !!"

I have sold cars, trucks and a boat...100% PLEASE read everything, the good, bad and the ugly and ask questions if you think of anything. I will help you the best I can...thank you.


This 1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition is a good daily driver. I would say it's in good condition, but feel free to contact me about anything... pictures, video or just some questions. After the auction it's a done deal and being sold AS IS - WHERE IS, with NO warranties implied.

The history on this SUV as I know it: I bought it back early 2010 I think it was...I drove it back and forth to work so I didn't rack the miles up on my newer SUV, later I let my son drive it for about a year while he was prepping for the Air Force. He has since bought him a new SUV and this is why it is now here on Ebay. I bought it from a lady as it was hers, but she gave it to her daughter to go to school, so I don't really know what titled owner I am but I do know four people within two families have drove it. But the car fax that ebay provides will clear that up for you.

Now about the Explorer: The KBB shows that it could retail above 5k and the private party is over $3,800.
It is an All Wheel Drive and does GREAT, never an issue for me or my son in the winters. The 5.0 V8 really does very well on gas I was getting between 19-22 miles per gallon on the highways (all depends on how one drives). Tires have many miles left and the four wheel disk brakes have new rotors and pads. Power: leather front seat, windows, sunroof, mirrors... No hitch, so it's never pulled anything! It does have a 6-CD player as well.

As I stated it is a good daily driver and looks pretty good as well. But lets be for real it's not new, so there again ask anything before the auction ends and not pick fly poop out of the pepper after the auction...lol...ok! It's a good 1997...

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
