I have a very nice '04 Ranger for auction. I purchased it from a co worker a few months back with VERY light front end damage (see pic). It did blow the airbags but everything was replaced (driver/ pass bags, computer, and seat belts) and the system is properly functioning. She was only going about 25mph on a country road when someone turned in front of her. There was no frame damage and it required only a headlight/ turn signal, grill, bumper, bumper valance, and header panel replacement. It's a good title truck.

It's a 2WD XLT 2 door extended cab with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has ice cold A/C, CD player, tilt/ cruise, and a sliding rear window, crank windows and manual locks.

Mechanical: My co worker was the original owner and I have every receipt for everything done to the truck from the day it was new. Oil changes were every 3-5k miles (some in the 2k miles). The brakes only have a few thousand miles, tires are almost new, a newer ball joint, a new tie rod, and a front end alignment ~500 miles ago are some of the recent work completed. I have all of the work that was done summarized and sorted chronologically in an Excel file if interested. It's a 3.0V6 with a manual transmission with very low 57k miles. It runs well and did 26mpg on a highway trip recently. The leaf spring shackles are rock solid and the frame just has some light surface rust, not swiss cheese like my last Ranger.

Cosmetics: The interior is really clean with very little wear. The previous owner was a non smoker and so am I. It has some scratches and light dings (mostly to the top of the bed sides) but it shines up really well and looks good. It originally had painted bumpers but since the front needed replaced from the accident we replaced the front and back with chrome ones and added a chrome grill. Also, I added some chrome caps to the steel wheels so it looks a little better.

Payment: Deposit of $200 via PayPal within 48 hours of end of auction. Full (cleared) payment is due before shipping. Cash or bank check. It's not in my way, so the pick up date is not critical.

Shipping: I would be happy to ship it at buyers expense after payment is clear. Also, I would be happy to pick up the buyer at the Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) and you can drive it home.

Email me for more info/ pictures or to come take a look. It's also for sale local and I will cancel the auction if it sells locally. Thanks.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
