Sunnyvale, California, United States

This is really a great car, fully checked and maintained, comfortable daily driver with factory A/C, stereo all the bells and whistles!

Adult owned, All California Car – so it’s never been in harsh weather.  We bought the car from a “little Old lady” that used the car as a grocery getter and so it subsequently was rarely driven.

When we bought the car (+/- 6 months ago) for our daughter we had a qualified mechanic go over the car from A to Z, I didn’t want to leave any stone unturned in that we ensured our daughter would be inheriting a safe car to drive on campus. And with all that, plans changed and she decided dealing with campus parking wasn’t for her.    

It’s really a great car and one you’ll easily fall in love with

Car rides smooth – Thanks to the 4 brand new Goodyear tires and dialed in suspension

You’ll get the original owners-manual, all of the maintenance records I have and 3 chip imbedded keys – not easy to replace nor cheap for that matter.

Nothing funky coming from the tailpipe or unusual smells from the engine, you’ll get an occasional water drip from the A/C while operating but otherwise no leaks, drips or errors.

Recent smog check done to prepare for sell, Smog check technician remarked “what a beautiful car, runs like a dream” sorry don’t have that statement Notarized.  

As previously mentioned spend the money on pulling out the minor dent, a dash cover and a cover for the rear center brake light and you’ll have a car close to ‘rolling off the assembly-line perfect’ as you’ll find, though keep in mind it is 15 years old and none of us are as good as we were 15 years ago. I am sure I’ve missed a lot but ask any questions you have and I’ll be happy to go into more detail.  

Now for the PAYMENT TERMS - At the conclusion of the auction, the winning bidder must make a deposit of $250.00 via PayPal (within 3 days). The remaining balance must be received within seven days.  

SHIPPING AND PICK UP - I cannot help with shipping. However, if you have a shipper that you wish to utilize I will accommodate after you make arrangements. If you choose to pick the car up in person, I can meet you at the San Jose, CA airport. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Actual mileage on the car at the time of posting is 55,565 and will change up to 150 miles during the time this auction is running. If you have questions or need additional pictures feel free to contact me via eBay. I will respond as soon as possible and provide you contact details should you wish to talk.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
