OUTSTANDING VALUE! Simply the BEST for a Ford Focus SVT you'll find anywhere on eBay! I am the proud second owner of this car, which I first bought from a friend in Chicago back in 2008 with 22K miles and has since travelled the country with me... from Los Angeles, California all the way to Brooklyn, New York!

Financial circumstances are forcing me to sell this vehicle, which is truly the BEST car I have ever owned. I would keep it if I could afford to. My loss is your gain! This SVT Focus hatchback has ALL the extra options available, including:

SUNROOF!
HEATED Leather Seats
Engine Block Warmer
HEATED side mirrors
6 CD Changer (needs servicing, skips CDs occasionally)
Power windows and locks
Cruise control & ABS brakes
Almost-New SVT Rims

This car will ALSO come with several extra tools and goodies that I've purchased along the way, including:

Spare oxygen sensor (rear sensor)
Innova ODB2 Diagnostic Code Reader
Rapid Car Battery Charger (2/6/10 amps)
Emergency Roadside Kit (contains reflective signs/flares/lights/etc)

This car has been pampered since it rolled off the dealer's lot in 2003. Only small dings and scratches are present on the outside of the vehicle, which has been freshly serviced, washed and waxed in preparation for its new owner. My only gripe as this vehicle's 6-year owner is the poor choice of Ford's engineering team to position the oxygen sensors at the front of the axle (so, when you run over a large pothole, your O2 sensor is usually going to get hit). My solution to date has been to stock-up on front and rear Motorcraft oxygen sensors in bulk and replace about once a year when that pesky check engine light pops on. :-)

BID WITH CONFIDENCE! I have been a member of eBay for nearly 10 years and have an unparalleled reputation for integrity. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET... NO TRICKS AND NO GIMMICKS!

BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: This car is being sold for CASH ONLY in AS-IS condition.

Buyer MUST pick up the vehicle from my garage in Brooklyn, NY (near the Classon Ave 'G' Train station) within 72 hours of auction's end with CASH IN HAND!

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

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.
