US $16,500.00
Year:2014

We bought this wonderful 2014 Focus 4 door SE hatchback for our 2nd car just before we decided to buy a travel trailer for our retirement. Now we need a larger vehicle to tow the trailer. So, we are going to take a significant loss and someone is going to save thousands over new. We did quite a bit of research before we bought the car and all reviews were outstanding...great handling, fun to drive, 36mpg, etc. so we went with the Focus rather than a Honda or Toyota. As the photos show, the car is white with charcoal and black interior. The tires were upgraded from standard equipment to Michelins when we bought it. The car has an automatic transmission, "Sync" and hands free technology (Blue Tooth, etc.), flex fuel capacity and we put a Drawtite 1 1/4" hitch on it for our bicycle carrier. It only has @ 9,000 miles on it. We drove it to Florida and back for one third of those miles. The rest were mainly highway between Bloomington and Peoria to visit our grandkids. The factory warranty is of course in effect...36,000 mi. bumper to bumper, 60,000 power train, 60,000 corrosion, etc. Not a ding anywhere on the car. *The swirls that appear to be on the seat fabric are not really there...just an illusion as result a result of the way the camera caught the weave of the fabric. The seats and rest of the interior are pristine.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
