2000 Ford Explorer Sport Sport Utility 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
|
Clean 2 owner title 2000 Ford Explorer Sport, 234,000+ miles which needs (I'm told) a new clutch and transmission. Listed as "mechanics special" as the rest of the truck from a running perspective is mechanically sound. Engine, belts, diffs, suspension, exhaust, brakes (except emergency, more on that below) all are in working order with no leaks/drips. Tires should be replaced this year and body has normal wear and tear for being used both on and off road and has rust on the rear bumper and body on drivers side door entry which is typical for this model. Interior is fair for its age but carpets and passenger seat could use some cleaning but no rips, tears or holes.
Things that could be fixed but are not necessary to make it run: - Emergency brake. I actually had this fixed but for whatever reason it won't engage the rear brakes. Pedal is tight so it may just need some tweaking - Turn signal module. Turn signals both work but it gets stuck every couple of months. - Drivers side door lock. It works (in theory), key fob doesn't unlock drivers door, just everything else... the rivet that holds the internal box inside the door came loose so you have to unlock from inside of truck by pulling the door handle. It's an easy fix, I just never got around to do it. - Radio antenna. Douchebag in Mt Adams broke it off. I don't listen to the radio so I never fixed it. Again, another easy peasy one. - Rear Lund wind deflector. You could remove it, but you would have to patch the holes you would have in the hatch door. It broke years ago and I ghetto rigged it back together using inner-city ingenuity, glue and gorilla tape. It has sentimental value to me, doubt it would for you however. - Rear wiper, needs a new one although I'm not really sure why Ford even has one because I could never, ever get it to work right. There are a few other things such as rock chips in front glass (but no cracks), missing mudflap etc that have nothing whatsoever to do mechanically. Just things from wear and tear. I've taken plenty of pictures so judge for yourself. The truck still runs but needs transmission attention... $600.00 cash/cashiers check or PayPal only. |

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
