Only 56,000 original miles!!!!  It looks like a car with only 56k and drives like a car with only 56k!!!  I have a Carfax to prove it and you can look at the enclosed Autocheck report too.

Very good looking car in very good running condition.

Yes, this car starts runs and drives great. 

Mechanics:  Motor and transmission are very good.    

Exterior:  Paint and tires are in very good condition.  Paint is faded in a few spots near the roof, but very good overall.  There is a very minor dent in drivers' door that's barely noticeable (see photo).  I'm not sure you'd even notice it if you didn't know it was there.

Interior:  In very good shape.  Front seats are covered, but look very good underneath too.  Rear / backseat power windows are closed, but don't go down - likely a simple fix.  Headliner is missing.  Car has a 3rd row seat that folds flat and a hideaway picnic table in the back too (see photos).  Backseat also folds down for extra cargo room.   

Car came from NJ and the NJ inspection sticker on the windshield is valid until December 2014 (15 more months). 

Car also passed DE inspection last week and I have the "Passed" paperwork, so a DE buyer can tag / register it for 2 years in DE without needing inspection.  You could also tag it as an antique, if you'd like. 

Car has 2 needs:

1.  Although the car just passed inspection, it likely needs rear brakes.  It can still be driven carefully as is (brakes passed inspection).

2.  I've been taking the negative battery cable off at night because something is draining it - maybe an interior light or something.

Will make a nice driver with a little attention.

I've tried to detail the condition of this car as openly and as honestly as I can, but I may of course missed minor details and / or minor imperfections. 

As with any used car, the car is for sale as-is.

If you have any questions, please ask me.  I want you to feel comfortable with your bid / purchase.

I require a $100 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of auction's close.  The balance is due within 7 days, cash in-person.  Car is to be picked up within 14 days of auction's close.  If you need more time to pickup the car, once paid, I can likely store it for you for longer for a monthly fee - please contact me if you need to make those arrangements.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
