I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, so I need to sell the car as soon as possible.

As you will see from the below description, I have included all details on the car. There is nothing to hide. I also have the CarFax report. Email me if you would like me to send to you. You will not find this much detail on a 10 year old car elsewhere.

Color

Exterior: Patriot Blue C/C Metallic
Interior: Dark Charcoal Cloth

Other
92,450 miles
Nearly brand new front tires (only 3k miles)
Nearly brand new battery and starter (less than 3k miles)
2 Keyless entry remotes
3 factory Ford keys
Factory owners manual

Operating

All features are fully functional (power locks, windows, radio, head lights, etc.).
Air Conditioning and Heating work excellent.
The parking/emergency brake light is illuminated on the instrument panel (this light came on about 3 months ago). I had this inspected by Goodyear when I had the oil changed and they said it’s a $15 switch that has to be replaced. They didn’t have the switch on hand or I would have had it fixed.  

History

The city of Champaign is the original owner.  The car was used by traffic meter staff for the 7 years it was owned by the city of Champaign. I have all of the original service records for the time the car was owned by the city of Champaign. The city performed all scheduled preventative maintenance in line with the factory recommendations. Thus the car runs like new.

I purchased the car from the City of Champaign in April of 2010 with 82,000 miles. The car currently has 92,450 miles. Since I live in the city, I have only used the car for trips to the grocery store, airport, etc. Thus I have only put 10,000 miles on the car in 3.5 years. Since I have owned the car I have had the oil changed every 3-4 months and minor maintenance, including:

  •          Replacing belt tensioner and belt in August of 2010 with 82,500 miles
  •          Having air conditioning serviced in July of 2012 with 88,500 miles
  •          Purchasing new front tires in August of 2012 with 89,000 miles (40,000 mile limited warranty)
  •          Replacing battery in September 2012 with 89,500 miles
  •          Replacing starter in October of 2012 with 90,000 miles

The car was in a minor front end collision in August of 2011 (5-10 mph). The air bags did not deploy. The hood buckled as a result of the accident and was therefore replaced in August of 2011. You will notice from the pictures that the hood is a slightly different color than the rest of the body as the hood was replaced with a factory hood from a lighter blue Taurus. This is a minor cosmetic issue and can be fixed by having the hood painted or replaced.  

Also, girlfriend hit a pole while parking in 2011. You can see the scratch on passenger side rear door/quarter panel.  Also minor (1 inch) dent (was there when I purchased) near the passenger side door handle.

Price

KBB.com notes the following:

Excellent:            $3,557

Very Good:          $3,332
Good:                   $3,207
Fair:                     $2,807

Given the cosmetic damages on the exterior, the car falls into the Good category (mechanically it would fall under Excellent).


Since I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, I need to sell the car as soon as possible. As such, I am listing the car for $2,500 OBO. I have a free and clear title in hand ready to go.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy

Sat, Oct 25 2014

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
