This is a great car, and the AWD is an amazing feature. We live in the snow belt, and often see accumulation close to a foot. I have never gotten stuck with this car, and it is very solid on snowy roads. Our old truck recently departed for the great junkyard in the sky, and we couldn't afford to keep the car and buy a new truck, so unfortunately, the car has to go. It can do a lot of things, but it can't pull a livestock trailer or haul hay. We bought this car Ford Certified used, it was a lease trade in, and had less than 14000 on it. I took great care of this car; all oil changes on time with synthetic blend, regular maintenance, tire rotation, etc. It has the 6 disk CD changer, which was a huge selling point for me, and I have never had a problem with it. I was in an accident a couple years ago; I was rear ended in a low speed collision. It was a bumper replace, no other damage. We had it fixed at the Ford dealership. The windshields were also replaced at the Ford dealership a few years back; the front had a stone chip, but then something (we have no idea what, but think it was a big rock from a passing truck) fell through the back window, so I had them both done at the same time since the insurance was paying for both. There is the original spare that I have never used, the back seats flip down making it able to haul really big items. It gets really good gas mileage, even in town, and it has a huge gas tank. Now that I drive a full size truck on a regular basis, I miss the gas mileage on my Fusion...a lot. This is mechanically sound, no leaks, no problems that I am aware of. We just had it to a Ford mechanic a couple weeks ago, it checked out good, but they recommended the transmission hoses be replaced, so we had that done. The pictures are from late summer, but we are putting it up for sale now because we were waiting to see if we could keep the car and buy a new truck, but we can't. We drove it to Pittsburgh a couple days ago and it runs like a dream, so no problems. Someone is getting a really good car, and they are going to be vary happy with it. We bought this because at the time, it was a much cheaper option than a 4x4 truck or jeep. I am sure someone will be as happy with this car as I was. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Unfortunately, I have had some bad experiences selling little things on Ebay like books and stuff. I have never sold a car before, I am hoping everyone is more honest about it, but, if you don't have a good buyer rating, or if you have a history of not paying, or other problems, I will delete your bid. I will require a deposit within 24 hours, and the balance due within 3 days. There will be no arrangements made to pick up the car until the balance has been paid in full. I will accept cash, cashiers check, or paypal. There is NO lien on the vehicle, it is payed off.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Why the Detroit Three should merge their engine operations

Tue, Dec 22 2015

GM and FCA should consider a smaller merger that could still save them billions of dollars, and maybe lure Ford into the deal. Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne would love to see his company merge with General Motors. But GM's board of directors essentially told him to go pound sand. So now what? The boardroom battle started when Mr. Marchionne published a study called Confessions of a Capital Junkie. In it, Sergio detailed the amount of capital the auto industry wastes every year with duplicate investments. And he documented how other industries provide superior returns. He's right, of course. Other industries earn much better returns on their invested capital. And there's a danger that one day the investors will turn their backs on the auto industry and look to other business sectors where they can make more money. But even with powerful arguments Marchionne couldn't convince GM to take over FCA. And while that fight may now be over, GM and FCA should consider a smaller merger that could still save them billions of dollars, and maybe lure Ford into the deal. No doubt this suggestion will send purists into convulsions, but so be it. The Detroit Three should seriously consider merging their powertrain operations, even though that's a sacrilege in an industry that still considers the engine the "heart" of the car. These automakers have built up considerable brand equity in some of their engines. But the vast majority of American car buyers could not tell you what kind of engine they have under the hood. More importantly, most car buyers really don't care what kind of engine or transmission they have as long as it's reliable, durable, and efficient. Combining that production would give the Detroit Three the kind of scale that no one else could match. There are exceptions, of course. Hardcore enthusiasts care deeply about the powertrains in their cars. So do most diesel, plug-in, and hybrid owners. But all of them account for maybe 15 percent of the car-buying public. So that means about 85 percent of car buyers don't care where their engine and transmission came from, just as they don't know or care who supplied the steel, who made the headlamps, or who delivered the seats on a just-in-time basis. It's immaterial to them. And that presents the automakers with an opportunity to achieve a staggering level of manufacturing scale. In the NAFTA market alone, GM, Ford, and FCA will build nearly nine million engines and nine million transmissions this year.
