THIS IS A FANTASTIC, FUN TO DRIVE CAR FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY. IT HAS LEATHER RECARO SEATS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND A SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION.

My SVT has under 37,000 miles (36,113 as of 6/16 @ 10:03EDT but I am still driving it regularly). I bought it from an older gentleman (in his 60's....I am 58) who said that he'd owned it almost since it was new. I've only put around 5,000 miles on the car....I mostly commute to work on a scooter. I have been gentle with the car and I believe the previous owner was, also.

The SVT's interior is very good. I'm sure it isn't perfect but nothing comes to mind. It has leather Recaro seats up front with seat heaters. It has a glass sunroof. I'm not sure if the lighter/power outlets work---I've never used either of them. It has a CD changer (that I've never used) and, since the radio sounds great, I'm figuring it has an upgraded sound system.

The exterior looks good. The paint is very good. There are a few little parking lot dimples and there is some residue of what likely was overspray (inside of gas access door, on bottom bolt in right rear fender well, below gas access door....nothing on rubber trim and nothing I've seen elsewhere). This is noticeable only upon very close inspection. I got a "clean" CarFax when I bought it and I've had no accidents. The glass is all fine. It has fog lights. The bumpers and side skirts are in very good shape. The headlight lenses are cloudy.

Mechanically, the car is in very good shape. The engine accelerates smoothly. The (6 speed) transmission shifts well. It drives straight and stops straight. The clutch engages early in it's travel and seems fine. The tires are good. The check engine light has come on a few times with a code indicating the car isn't heating up fast enough (P0125). This is, apparently (based on my Internet research), a common issue with the SVT. I have put a piece of tape on the lower grill to block air flow and that, along with the Florida summer heat, appears to have taken care of the problem...for now. When the summer is over, I believe it will need a new thermostat. In the meantime, the engine heats up properly and attains (according to the Temperature Gauge and the Oil Temperature Gauge) normal operating temperatures....it just, I guess, sometimes takes longer than the computer thinks it should.

The tires appear to be good. The rims are good (I have no doubt that they are not perfect).

I have had no mechanical issues except for: 1) The code (see above) 2) The "door open" indicator light staying lit. Following instructions I found on the internet, I sprayed some cleaner around the door locks and that fixed it. 3) The front windshield wipers don't park (at the bottom of the windshield) on their own most of the time.

The a/c blows cold. The previous owner reports having had the condenser(?) replaced. I do have at least some of his records. Besides an oil change and cleaning the door-close sensors, I haven't had to do anything.

There is some wrinkled paint on the exhaust(?) manifold.

Please feel free to email me questions.

Because it is used, the car will be sold "as is". I will be available for a shipper to pick up after payment in full has cleared. Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car will be available for pickup during the day in downtown West Palm Beach---a few miles from the local airport, PBI. I am not available to pick up the buyer at the airport.

I have clean title in my possession. The car will have to be registered in the name of the new owner if it going to be driven off but I would deliver it, after payment in full has cleared, within 50 miles of downtown West Palm Beach.

Since it is used, the car will be sold "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS".

Forza Horizon 3 car list keeps on truckin'

Tue, Aug 9 2016

We've covered three weeks of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3, and this time we get a better look at the trucks, SUVs and other off-roaders you'll be able to use to explore Australia. This week's list kicks things off with two of the most legendary off-roaders in the world, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser and the Meyers Manx. They have different purposes; the FJ40 is for tough trail work and the Manx is for some light-hearted beach fun. But no one could deny the cultural importance of either. And both should be a blast in Horizon 3. In addition to this pair of classics, players will have a chance to get behind the wheel of both a race version of the Ford F-150 Raptor and its closest rival, the Ram Runner. And when traditional vehicles start to get boring, why not take out a full-blown Baja racer such as the Penhall Cholla or the Rockstar energy drink version of the little Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side? Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to have one of the most diverse car lists in a racing game in a long time. There are still cars left to be revealed, so stay tuned for further installments and see this week's full list below. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 2013 Ford Focus ST 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 1986 Lancia Delta S4 2009 Lexus IS F 1957 Maserati 300 S 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series 1971 Meyers Manx 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP 1998 Nissan R390 1979 Opel Kadett C GT/E 2011 Penhall The Cholla 1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS Rockstar Edition 2013 Ram Runner 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1990 Subaru SVX 1979 Toyota FJ40 2005 TVR Sagaris 1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Related Video: News Source: Playground Games / MicrosoftImage Credit: Playground Games / Microsoft Auto News Toys/Games Ford RAM Toyota forza exclusive ford f-150 raptor forza horizon forza horizon 3 toyota fj40 meyers manx

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
