2011 Ford Mustang Gt Premium W/ 5.0 V8 & 6-speed Manual Transmission No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:2011 Mileage:32864
Location:

Mount Clemens, Michigan, United States

I purchased this car new in December 2010 from Ourisman Ford in Alexandria, Virginia. I lived in Pennsylvania at the time, so it was originally titled in Pennsylvania. When I moved to Michigan last year, I got a clean Michigan title. It has been a good car for me, but I want to get something a little more practical.

Here are the obvious features of the car:

  • 412 horsepower 5.0 L V8 engine
  • 6-speed manual transmission
  • Factory 3.31 gear.
  • Black leather seats (not heated)
  • SYNC voice control for radio and phone
  • 18-inch painted aluminum wheels
  • Shaker 500 radio with USB and Bluetooth
  • SIRIUS satellite radio
  • Power locks with remote entry (two keys/fobs)
  • Power mirrors and windows
  • Power driver’s seat and manual passenger’s seat

And, some information about this particular car:

  • The car has 32,864.3 miles on it (July 13th).
  • I am the original and only owner.
  • I am a non-smoker, and none of my passengers ever smoked in the car.
  • I do not have any pets, so no animals were ever in the car.
  • I was 44 when I bought this car, and I am 47 now.
  • I didn’t drive it hard very often. (I can’t say never.)
  • I haven’t received any speeding tickets with it.
  • The battery is the factory original. It might need service soon.
  • The brakes are factory original. They might need service soon.
  • There is a full-size spare tire and jack in the trunk. I never used them.
  • It was never in any accidents. And, it was never towed.
  • I haven’t monkeyed with the car at all. I never put a tune on it or even a CAI system.
  • I purchased a new set of tires from Belle Tire back in October 2013 when the car had 26,350 miles on it. So, the tires are nine months old with 6,500 miles on them. They are the same tires that the factory installed: Pirelli P Zero Nero. I had them rotated/balanced a few weeks ago.
  • I just had the oil changed at the local Ford dealership on July 11th. I can show you the receipt.

No used car is perfect. Here are the negatives:

  • I drove the car through the winters, but it spent the evenings in a heated garage 50% of the time.
  • There is a door ding on the passenger door. That happened in early 2011… right after I bought the car. I don’t know how it happened… a runaway grocery cart or a careless person opening their car door perhaps. It is a pretty deep ding. The Ford dealer estimates $400 to repair it. It never developed any rust, so I did not have the work done.
  • The radio control buttons on the steering wheel are worn. They still function fine, but the paint has chipped off the surface of the buttons a little.
  • The chrome pony on the steering wheel has a scratch. I don’t know how that happened… maybe from keys.
  • The front fascia has two holes from the license plate frame that originally came on the vehicle. (Virginia is a two-plate state.) I removed the frame, but the holes are permanent. On a black car, they aren’t as noticeable, but they are there. About 1/8 inch diameter each. www.bumperplugs.com sells some over-priced plugs for just this reason.
  • The driver’s floor mat is really worn; you will want to replace it. The passenger floor mat is in good shape, but the factory mats are extremely cheap.
  • There are no rear floor mats since it did not come with any from the factory. I can count on one hand the number of times somebody sat in the rear seat of the car, so the carpeting is fine back there.
  • The only problem the car has ever had was a stuck HVAC vent door. It started about six months ago, and I had it repaired at a local Ford dealership last month.
  • I never waxed the car, so the paint could use some TLC.

The terms of the sale are:

  • A $100 deposit will be required through PayPal within three days of the end of the auction.
  • I will meet you at a local bank to confirm the funds are present for a cashier’s check just prior to transferring the title at the Secretary of State’s office.
  • I want to do whatever is necessary to make the transaction safe for myself as well as the buyer. I am in no rush to sell the car. I think it is a good car, but I cannot take any chances with the money/vehicle transfer.

I will give the buyer the original window sticker, manual, quick reference guide, the SYNC manual and a full tank of premium Mobil gas.

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs.  In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue.   The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014.  As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history

Wed, Jun 1 2016

You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Despite 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.
