Thank you for viewing my auction. I am selling my 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Car is black in color with gray interior. It has a little over 216,392 miles on it and recently had spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a new coil replaced. Car has been running great as I used it to travel to and from work about 26 miles total a day. I am selling it as we are saving for a bigger vehicle as we have two children. Their is noticeable rust on the top of the car as the paint has peeled off and a some damage to a fender from the previous owner. Both can be easily replaced. The front bumper cover has a temp fix on it as it was cracked. The passenger door handle probably needs looked at or replaced as well as the hatch latch in the back. This car would be a decent to and from work car as I have used it for since 2009. The stereo works great, drives decent (could use an alignment). The front passenger side sway bar link needs replaced (I have the new part to give). I have had regular oil changes done, replaced transmission fluid and filter, new air filter and cabin filter, brakes are very good. Their is a few cigarette burn in the interior from a previous owner (I do not smoke), the car has no odor. The exterior license plate light trim broke off but a replacement can be found. The original key cylinder was replaced as it had a known defect and locked up on me. Car will come with 3 keys, and 2 key fobs. Car also gets great gas mileage of about 25mpg and even up to 28mpg. With a new paint job and a little more TLC you'll have a decent car for safe, reliable, travel. The AC also work fine for a month or two after being recharged. The ac compressor needs replaced as it squeals when the ac is turned on. The ties are all relatively new except the front drivers side is showing some toe wear. I have also replaced many other parts on this car including a new radiator, new rear swaybar linkage and bushings, new front struts. I have the majority of all receipts and service records if requested. Car has a fully functional spare tire, jack, and trunk lining. I have repaired 3 small chips in the windshield by safelite auto glass repair ( you won't even know its there till I point it out). I'm also going to include a Garmin Streetpilot C330 GPS unit that I installed. Other than that, shoot me an email with any other questions. Please only serious bidders. Winning bid will accept purchase AS IS based on the the description and pictures provided. I have done the best to describe vehicle as accurate as possible. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up. Title WILL be released upon verification that the car is insured by new owner and temporary plates have been issued. I will be more than willing to provide a bill of sale upon request. Deposit or full amount is due within 48 hours with remainder due at time of pickup.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO

Thu, 01 May 2014

We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
