2004 Ford Freestar Limited Mini Passenger Van 4-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, United States
Beautiful low mileage 2004 Ford Freestar Limited mini van. Van is in excellent shape with basically only typical wear and tear, knicks and small scratches. Only scratch that I admit is noticeable is on left rear trim moulding which is shown in a picture. Radio button labeling also shows wear which you will see in a picture but radio works perfect. Only known flaw with the vehicle is the left front cv joint makes the typical clicking noise on sharp left turns but causes no functionality issues so I never bothered repairing. It can be replaced if you choose as the joints are not very expensive and possibly even just lubed to stop the clicking. Van has been extremely well serviced over it's life. I was a service manager of a Ford dealer for 20 years and bought this on trade off my dealer with around 14,000 miles as the original owner decided he didn't want a mini van and bought a full size s.u.v. instead. I serviced and took care of everything on this van since I bought it in 2005 or so as my wife drove it with my kids!!! About 2 years ago I gave her a new car and took over using this van but I have now been given a company car so the van is just sitting unused and it's time to go. Van is fully loaded with just about every single option that was available back in 2004 on them. Sticker new was approximately $39,000.00 as it was the absolute top of the line in a wonderful color scheme. It really is a classy and attractive mini van. I had remote start installed as well as Ford's handsfree phone system that plays through the car speakers. The system was one of the first hands free systems when they starting making them for cars so it is admitedly basic and dors not download your phone book and if you want to save a number you have to go through several steps for every number you save. I basically used it to answer incoming calls and just hit call and announce the number I wanted it to dial. Basic as compared to new car systems but still better than wearing an ear piece and having to fiddle for the phone when driving. Basically next best thing to having a present age hands free factory phone system. Vehicle has never been in an accident nor even a fender bender or ding repair. Van is located mostly at my work and I try to keep it in the warehouse as you will see from the pictures. It can be viewed weekdays from 8-4 by just contacting me and letting me know you are coming. If you need to see it on a weekend or weeknight we can probably arrange something. I am also trying to sell it privately so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. I WILL NOT SHIP OR ARRANGE ANY TYPE OF SHIPPING WHATSOEVER. IT IS REGISTERED AND INSURED PRESENTLY SO IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 30 MILES OF ZIP 07004 I WILL DRIVE IT TO YOUR LOCATION BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO DRIVE ME BACK. PAYMENT OF $500.00 DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTIONS END BY DELIVERY OR PAYPAL (IF OVERNIGHTING CHECK IT MUST BE A CERTIFIED CHECK). PAYMENT IN FULL AND PICK UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTIONS END. I DO NOT FINANCE AND WILL NOT TAKE INSTALLMENTS SO DON'T BOTHER ASKING. Please don't bid if you don't intend to buy you will be responsible for auction fees. Van is a wonderful vehicle and only reason it is going is because I no longer have a use for it with being given a company car. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty. I know the van is excellent but I can not predict the future and it is what it is. My starting price for what this van costed and the condition it is in is a steal. You can't get anything new these days that is this type of vehicle for under 40K and this mini van with it's mileage probably has another decade plus of service in it. Happy bidding and any questions feel free to contact me.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
Ford's China sales keep falling, down 30% in third quarter
Fri, Oct 11 2019BEIJING — Ford's July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 30%, as the U.S. automaker continued to lose ground in a prolonged sales decline in its second biggest market. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker delivered 131,060 vehicles in China in the third quarter, Ford said in a statement. Ford's sales in China fell 35.8% in the first quarter and by 21.7% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, sales of the automaker's mass-market Ford brand fell 37.7%, while its luxury division Lincoln saw sales drop by 24.1%. It delivered around 421,000 vehicles in the first nine months of the year, according to Reuters calculations. Ford has been struggling to revive sales in China after its business began slumping in late 2017. Sales sank 37 percent in 2018, after a 6 percent decline in 2017. The automaker plans to launch more than 30 new models in China over the next three years, of which more than a third will be electric vehicles. It also said it would localize management teams by hiring more Chinese staff and aimed to improve relationships with joint venture partners. Ford has launched a series of new models in the third quarter in China, including Focus, Edge, and the electric Territory. In China, Ford makes cars through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors. It has said it would partner with Zotye Automobile Co to sell lower-priced cars, but there seems to have been little progress. In a series of moves, Ford named a new president for its main local venture, Changan Ford, in August and said it would enhance its partnership with Changan through research, production and marketing cooperation in September. Ford is also planning to revamp some of its existing manufacturing facilities with Changan to localize production of its premium brand Lincoln. Changan Ford's sales down by around 33.5% in the third quarter, according to Reuters calculations based on Changan's filings. Ford rival General Motors' July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 17.5%, to 689,531 vehicles. As GM and Ford China sales extend declines, U.S. car companies' market share of total China passenger vehicle sales fell to 9.5% in the first eight months of this year, from 10.7% in the year-ago period, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Over the same period, German carmakers' share has risen to 23.8% from 21.6%, and Japanese automakers' share rose to 21.7% from 18.3%.
