2013 Ford Focus SE
Cut and paste the following link for a more exhaustive view of this vehicle...running, driving and overall condition: http://youtu.be/4r8C095xKrw For your consideration, I am selling my 2013 Ford Focus SE, Hatchback. This vehicle is in excellent condition with 5,450 (five thousand, four-fifty) miles, 2.0 liter inline four cylinder fuel injected DOHC gasoline engine, automatic transmission with console shift, front wheel drive and four wheel anti-lock disc brakes. I am the second owner of this Ford Focus SE and it is an excellent looking, running and driving vehicle which offers a combined 33 plus MPG with approximately 325 (city) to 450 (hwy) mileage range per 12.4 gallon tank of fuel. The 2.0 liter engine is extremely clean, electronic ignition starts immediately without hesitation, runs smoothly and quietly at idle, does not miss or smoke and produces 160 hp and 162 ft-lbs of torgue. The engine is mated to an automatic 6-speed transmission which shifts seamlessly and is very responsive in passing gears. This is a compact/economy car (for insurance purposes) but rides and drives more like a mid-size car with plenty of room for a driver and four passengers, loads of horse-power, responsive handling, excellent braking and produces a ride quality unbeatable for a vehicle in this category. The exterior of this vehicle is nearly flawless and shows extremely well; the paint is beautiful medium blue candy metallic-pearl in very good condition with high gloss and deep shine. The body panels are laser straight with no dents, dings or physical damage. All glass is clean and clear and the power windows raise/lower as anticipated. The wheels are 16" aluminum five spoke in perfect condition with Continental Conti-Procontact tires also in like new condition. The hatchback compartment is very spacious and the spare tire, wheel well and tire tool kit are in unused condition. All exterior lights work and function as they should. The interior feature beige hybrid material, adjustable front bucket seats with lumbar support and a rear bench seat in excellent condition. The carpet is flawless charcoal; the headliner is clean and tight. The dash is in perfect condition as well as the center console and arm rest. Conveniences include: power mirrors, cruise control, remote trunk release; hands free calling, stereo CD player with steering wheel controls and 6 speakers, MP3 auxiliary port, 12 volt adapter, in dash computer, Blue Tooth link, vanity mirror inserts, Destination Guidance Service capable and Sirius XM. The heater warms quickly and the air blows ice cold. All interior gauges and lights function as they should, owner's manual and factory literature is included within the glove compartment as well as two keys with remote locking, trunk release and alarm mode. As noted this vehicle will come with an Illinois issued rebuilt title. Within the first year of purchase, this vehicle side swiped another vehicle causing minor damage to the passenger side rear door and quarter panel. These items were professionally repaired by a reputable local collision center and fully inspected by the IL Secretary of State. As was explained to me at the time of purchase, the original owner had full-replacement coverage and thus the vehicle was replaced by the insurance company which by default labeled this vehicle as rebuilt. I have spoken with and have the contact information for the repair center where the repair was completed and I would be happy to pass this information along to you if you desire further verification. The Ford Focus SE is categorized as an compact/economy hatchback, well appointed, comfortable and reliable. I believe any interested party would agree that this definition applies to the vehicle I am offering for sale; with 5450 original miles, it is extremely close to perfect. This Focus is a no excuses vehicle; synthetic oil/filter are newly changed, 32 point inspection at my local Ford Dealership (all good), the car has been fully detailed, there are no warning lights illuminated on the instrument cluster, this car will need nothing at the time of purchase. It is a very comfortable and extremely easy to operate, own and maintain vehicle. Drive any distance at any time and maintain excellent fuel economy while doing it. I encourage you to inspect this vehicle in person or have this vehicle inspected by any automotive service you deem trustworthy. . .but you will not be disappointed, this is a very nice looking, running and driving car in as-new condition. Please text or call Mark at two one seven, four nine four, two eight seven five, for more information, viewing or test drive. |

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
UK's Loughborough University improving Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine
Wed, May 21 2014How much does it cost for college students to study zero emissions vehicles? At Loughborough University in the UK, a new Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is being built at a cost of a billion pounds ($1.7 billion US). The school has just announce that it will fund a number of grad student positions and is creating a new Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, which sounds like a fun job to us. We're weird like that. There will be a total of four professor-type positions in the new Center, including the chair, all focused on teaching students about low-carbon vehicle technologies, specifically electric and hybrid ones. The school is investing 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) for the new positions. There is a bigger picture as well, a 26-million pound ($44 million) Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Integrated Variable-valvetrain Engine (ACTIVE) project, which uses funds not only from the school but also from Ford and others. The point of ACTIVE is to study Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and "improve further its efficiency and ensure it exceeds 2020 emission regulations." This is already a popular engine for the automaker, and it will need to stay at the bleeding edge of efficiency to remain as important in 2020 as it is today. Loughborough University has been working with automakers on advanced energy technologies for years, for example with Rolls-Royce and fuel cells in 2007 and the Lotus Hotfire engine in 2008. University invests GBP1.5M in advanced propulsion research to advance zero emissions vehicles challenge Loughborough University is investing GBP1.5M over five years in strategic research appointments, inspired by the global challenge to develop the new advanced propulsion technologies required for the move to zero emission vehicles. These appointments reinforce the University's world-class research in low-carbon vehicle technologies, adding new dimensions concerned with electric and hybrid drives. Four appointments will be made, including a Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, supported by a number of PhD studentships. The GBP1.5M investment is part of the University's commitment to the recently announced Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to support the development of new supply chains for low carbon vehicles. APC is an initiative established by the Automotive Council that will see GBP1 billion of investment from government and industry over the next 10 years.
