Selling my 1993 Ford Probe GT.  I purchased this car from my friend, who drove it regularly on 40+ mile trips. 

I drove the car daily to school (10 miles each way), and also made many trips that were over 50 miles, with a few weeks where I was putting nearly 100 miles on it daily.  I absolutely love this car, but unfortunately cannot afford to keep it anymore.

Power Windows work
Power Door Locks work
Custom Exhaust (sounds great!)
Front Wheel drive (great for snow)
Front wipers and sprayers work
Rear wiper and sprayer works
5 speed manual transmission, no rattling or noise
Clutch works fine, no issue driving
Lights go up and down with no problems, and do not get stuck. 
All lights, exterior and interior, work (including fog lights)
Radio works well, CD player works.  Aux input jack is a little loose, but still works.  
Car also has antilock brakes (ABS) and driver airbag

A few months ago, I started this car and heard some noise (at idle).  I took it to the mechanic, who could not figure it out.  During this time, my distributor went out (great luck..). 

I got a new distributor so my mechanic could work on the car, but he was unable to pinpoint the issue.  Many others have said it is possibly a piston ring issue, rocker or a valve issue, but I don't have the time to look into it unfortunately.  I returned the distributor since I didn't need it.  As such, the car must be towed in its current state.  If you add a distributor, the car WILL RUN, but will just make a loud ticking engine noise. 

Would be a great car for someone to work on or restore.

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]

Wed, 29 May 2013

Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.

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.
