2006 Ford E-450 6.0l Diesel Transit Bus, Transport Bus on 2040-cars
Scarborough, Maine, United States
|
I bought this bus from the Transit Authority in Virginia last April. The bus has every record or oil changes, tires rotations, they kept a book on this bus. Bus is in decent good condition on the outside (see pics) and the interior is really clean. a NEW, not re-manufactured, tranny was put in about 100k ago, 4 new injectors done about 20k ago. I drove it from Virginia to Maine with zero problems. got an average of 13mpg. The reason i bought it sight unseen was cause of the records they kept on it and how good a shape it was for a 2006.
Was driving it the other day and the engine died while driving. So had it towed and mechanic said there is oil in the coolant but no coolant in the oil. He said it was more then likely an oil cooler failure. The engine turns over and cranks but wont fire. I didnt want to dump money into them tearing the engine apart so I am just listing it forsale. Everything on the bus works except the issue w the oil in the coolant. If you have the place and tool and time to tear this engine apart then this would be a good deal for you. I also have found a replacement engine in VT for $2500 with only 120k on it, I will gladly give the name and number to the winning bidder to the guy who has this engine. This really is a good bus for the right person w time and place to work on it. BUS WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED FROM CURENT LOCATION IN SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Feel free to text me or call me with any questions 207-318-9725 |

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
