55,565 Miles 6 Cyl. All California Car 4 Door New Goodyear Tires A/c on 2040-cars
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

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
