2007 Black Ford Focus Hatchback 5 Speed With Speaker System And Sirius/xm Radio on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I have been the only owner of this 2007 Ford Focus SE manual hatchback. It was purchased brand new in October 2006 in Gainesville, Florida. There are no major mechanical problems. The steering wheel is a little difficult to turn from a dead stop, but once moving the steering is normal. Power steering level is full so this may be due to the power steering pump. Oil changes have been kept up every 3000-5000 miles. There are a few minor scratches and one small dent near the front of the hood. I have had garage parking since moving to Chicago in 2011. I installed a brand new Bosch Battery in June 2014. The battery has a 36/96 month warranty. The car was taken in for a tune up in June 2014 where new spark plugs were installed by the dealer. Air Conditioning and Heat work properly. Only one accident to report. I let off the brake at a stop light and bumped the car ahead of me. No damage was done to their vehicle and the only damage done to my car was cracking the plastic license plate cover.
This Ford Focus comes with a Moon Roof that opens completely or to whatever you extent you want. The Moon Roof also flips up. The car also has front and rear windshield wipers. The upholstery in the car is in great condition. I do not smoke and have never allowed anyone to smoke in the car. Title is clean and record is available of passed emissions test as well as any mechanical work/oil changes done. This car is very dependable as I have driven it since 2006 without any mechanical issues. The five speed manual transmission makes it ideal for driving in snow. Being from Florida, I was worried about how the car would perform in the snow. I can attest that the car has handled Chicago winters very well. This car is very quick and if you like driving a stick shift you will enjoy driving this 5 speed! The Kelly Blue Book value for this car in Good Condition is $3065. I will be asking for slightly more than this due to the installed audio equipment. Payment will be required 7 days after the sale is completed. I will accept Cashier's Check, Personal Check, or Cash. I will require a $500 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of auction end. Shipping/Pickup of the vehicle will be the buyer's responsibility. |

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
