This is a 2000 Windstar I am not sure which motor it has. Please read this description carefully as I want a happy buyer and a good transaction. This car has been family owned and shows the wear expected of hauling kids around for years. It has been well maintained with regular oil, belt, filters and other items. AC works good and most everything else works. The front windows don't but they did so it might just be a fuse. The paint is ok, the hood is rough but looks ok from a distance. The transmission shifts and works smoothly. The brakes are about a year old as well as the alternator. Recent work performed by a mechanic include a new ignition coil, swapped intake manifold, heater pipe and check up. This car has been a daily driver until 2 weeks ago when it overheated and was towed home. This vehicle will need to be towed and worked on. Do not plan to be able to drive it home. It starts and runs but will overheat if left running. I do not know if there was any engine damage or what it will take to fix it. The oil is clean looking. The kids have grown up and I was planning on getting a smaller car anyway so I don't want to put any more money into this one. As a bonus this also comes with a spare 2001 parts vehicle which was in very good condition until a kid crashed it. There have been parts taken off of it but there are many left. Most of the parts taken off are still available. This give you a lot of options for the rear seats. They are removable and include four captains chairs and two benches so you can mix and match depending on comfort or packing people in. The tires on the parts van were only a few weeks old when it was wrecked. This is a package deal so if you only want the one van there is no discount. Both vans are sold AS IS WHERE IS with the buyer responsible to pick them up. It is available to be inspected and that is encouraged. Please ask questions. $500 deposit cash or pay pal within 48hrs of end of auction and the remainder cash or pay pal and the vans picked up and removed within 7 days of end of auction. All pictures were taken today and show the car as it is. I can supply more pictures if needed.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
