Up for Auction is a:
My Freestyle is a 2006 Limited AWD and is loaded with virtually every option available including: DVD, Navigation (2009 Nav Disc), front, side full length air bags, driver and passenger seat airbags. 7 passenger seating, rear heat/air, sliding moonroof and much more. I have a copy of the original window sticker which I can email. THIS IS A NON SMOKING CAR. Actual Mileage as of September 2nd is 146,502. This is my daily driver and I am limiting the amount of driving I am doing since placing her up for sale. I will update again if necessary.
What I've done to her: I've changed her oil every 4500-5000 miles using Motorcraft 5W20 Synthetic Blend and Motorcraft Filters, Air Filter, Front Lower Left and Right Control Arms, Sway Bar end Links, Tuned up at 120,000 miles with Motorcraft plugs, Front brakes and rotors, rear brakes. I also installed a cabin air filter as discussed in one of the blogs. She has 147,000 miles and if you look into the oil fill port on top of the engine, the timing chain shines. She also has a new radiator and antifreeze change, PS fluid change from mineral to Synthetic Mobil 1 ATF. The transaxle roll resister and the lower front transmission are brand new. The most important service on this vehicle is the CVT Fluid. The CVT has been serviced in accordance with the maintainance log at 60,000 and 120,000 miles. This included draining and replacing the fluid and the high pressure filter as well as the filter in the bottom pan. I have marked the service date and mileage in the engine compartment. As for oil changes, I follow the electronic reminder in the dash and change when the reminder gets to 20% oil life left. The Oil was changed today (09/01/2013).
Knock on wood, she has never had an engine code or the wrench light come on and has passed NY State Inspection every year since I purchased her in 2008.
We just came back from three weeks in Florida and the air blows cold and the temperature control panel works great. She got 26-27mpg on the highway and has averaged the usual 17-18mpg around town. (We live in NYC). For traveling, this car has the rear DVD entertainment system. The front stereo/nav system allows the DVD system to be isolated from the radio and cd's using wireless headphones in the rear. I am also including the headphones and DVD remote control.
What I have planned for the near future: I maintain her with only Genuine Ford Parts and was purchasing front shocks. I have the Motorcraft Strut Mounts for the front and a Monroe Sensormatic 72260 for the Left Front. Right shock is (Monroe 72259) is on its way. I also have a new serpentine belt to go on. I purchased but never installed two rear sway bar end links but the are included. Also have but haven't installed a new heated seat pads in the drivers seat. If I have good weather, I will install the new shocks or if the car sells, they will be included with the car as well as the uper strut mounts.
What she will need: She will need four tires as well as an alignment after the shocks and tires are installed. The current tires probably have another 10,000 mile left on them.
Her general condition: There is one cart ding hardly noticable on the drivers door. A stone chip in the front windshield has been repaired by Saflite. There is a very slight verticle dent in the rear bumper cover on the right side. There is no rust anywhere on the car. All these items will be included in the additional photos I am going to post. We are expected to have horrible weather over the next two days and once it has passed, I will take them.
She is a strong runner and the AWD works perfectly. There have not been any accidents with this car and she has not been abused whatsoever. She handles the snow really well where others don't. There has been only one other owner and they maintained the vehicle through their Ford Dealer. I have that record available.
I do have the NY Title with a Lien against her which this sale will satisfy. I will forward the title to the new owner via express mail along with a bill of sale. Also, by NY Law, the lienholder must send the Lien Release within 20 days which I will also forward via USPS Express Mail. Having a Lien will not prevent you from registering the car in your name. It only means that the lien will follow to your state title until the release is received and your state will then issue a clear title.
The purchaser is responsible for picking up the car or arranging for shipping. However, I will deliver the car within 50 miles of Staten Island once full payment is received.
JUST A NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. I ALSO HAVE THIS CAR LISTED ON CRAIGS LIST HERE IN NEW YORK. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS THERE THAT ARE TOO LARGE THAT EBAY WON'T ALLOW. CHECK IT OUT.
The winning buyer is responsible for any taxes from their respective state or local. I do not collect tax on the sale of this vehicle but will provide a proper NY State Bill of Sale (DTF 802) that will accompany the title.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding

Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
