We bought our truck brand new with only 5 miles, and have taken meticulous care of it. All scheduled maintanence was done at the dealership (royal oak ford), when due. This truck is a great truck inside and out, roughly 60k (still drive it so will vary).

This is the XLT package extended cab (all four doors open) which includes: full chrome pkg, full towing package, the big 5.4L v8 triton, front tow hooks, AC, cd player, SYNC system, sirius radio, privacy glass, locking tailgate, 6.5 foot bed, auto headlights, fog lights, 3.55 limited slip axl, heavy duty 7200# gvwr, power everything even driver pedals, keyless entry and coded door entry, 18" chrome rims, side chrome tube step bars, we also added the full bed liner, rim locks, matching tint on the front side windows, and remote starter (great in winter)...

now for the condition, the truck runs and drives flawlessly, just like the day we bought it. The interior is extremely clean and still have some of the tags that we never pulled out when we bought it. The exterior is in great shape and is hand waxed twice a year, the paint has a great shine and sparkle in it. However, over the passenger side rear fender there is a gouge from some @#$% in the walmart parking lot when we were inside.. we recently got it estimated to fix and its in the $2-300 range.. not bad... it obviously doesnt effect the use, just sucks. other than that there is one shopping cart bump on the driver side, looks like it bumps and slid down the door a bit.... i notice it because I had it since new. the tires are gettin down there, there is a pic i included, but they should be replaced by the end of summer, they are the originals

Reason for selling: we just got a new f150 ( this time moved up to the super crew due to a baby one the way) other than that no reason to sell it, its been great. Never off road, towed with it 3 times, never had an accident, never had any major service, just tire rotation, oil changes, filter changes etc. this truck takes regular gas and e-85 ethanol flex fuel... has a full size spare underneath, and a mini computer inside that tells the temp, direction and gas mileage.

This truck is paid off and we are the original owners with a clean michigan title in hand and ready to transfer. We do not accept payments and expect payment in full for transfer. I realize you may have to set up financing, please have certified funds in hand before bidding. If final bid goes over $21,000 we will refund you $300 in cash to have the bed ding fixed, if bidding goes over $22,000 we will give you an additional refund of $300 to put towards a new set of tires, so just a little bonus for the high bidder

This truck in its current condition is valued at $22,500 blue book

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
