Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
Q: Why are you selling this van?
A: I bought it in May 2012, planning on using it to transport students to an after-school tutorial program I was starting (I am a retired teacher). We also wanted to use it for group overnight and shopping excursions for elderly people, sports teams and other groups. But my wife had to resign from her job (our primary source of income) because of health reasons, and I didn't have the money to get the tutorial program started. So we don't need the van.
Q: Why do you still have the van, almost a year after buying it?
A: It's such a nice van and I invested so much in it fixing it up for how we wanted to use it (about $2,500) that I hated to give it up. I kept hoping that I could start some kind of transportation service with it.
Q: So, why are you selling it now?
A: I am working 50 hours per week driving a cab and just don't have the time to get anything going with it. Besides, we don't have the money to keep making payments and paying insurance on it.
Q: Why does it have about 1,000 more miles on it than when you bought it?
A: After my wife resigned from her job, we moved three times (from our home in Onalaska to San Marcos then Fredericksburg and finally to Corpus Christi, Texas, looking for work for me (not easy at age 68).
Q: In what kind of condition are the surface features and appearance of the van?
E: Excellent. When we purchased it from Texas Direct Auto in Sanger, TX (a suburb of Houston) the van had a few cosmetic blemishes (a missing cigarette lighter, some broken ceiling air conditioner vents, a couple of small stains on the upholstery), but I fixed all those. It now has no broken or missing parts or tears or stains in the carpet or upholstery. The paint is in beautiful condition - no noticeable chips or scratches. The only two blemishes are a small dent in the right corner of the front bumper (not noticeable unless you look at it closely) and a shallow dent on the lower edge of the body underneath the rear passenger door, just above the running board (also not noticeable unless you look closely - see photo). Except when we were moving, the van has been in storage or kept covered. For the past six months, since we arrived in Corpus Christi, it has not been moved and we have kept it covered (see photo).
Q: How about the structural and mechanical parts of the van?
A: Again, practically perfect. We had a Ford master mechanic check all the structural and mechanical components (engine, steering, brakes, wheels, exhaust system and suspension). He did an OBD2 computer analysis of the engine and a test drive, and reported no defects. He stated: "Engine is strong, starts, runs and performs very good. Transmission shifts very good as well. Transmission fluid is clean. There is power to it. No abnormal noises from suspension or brakes. Van drives very good. No abnormal exhaust emissions noted at this time. Steering feels tight and responsive to driver input. Vehicle steers and brakes straight. No brake fade or pulsation noted at anytime during duration of test drive." From the time we drove the van from the dealer in Sanger to our home in Onalaska, then all around central Texas looking for employment (a little over 1,000 miles), it ran great - very smooth with plenty of power. We pulled a 5X8 utility trailer loaded with a refrigerator and other items up and down the hills of Texas, from San Marcos to Fredericksburg to Corpus Christi, with ease - hardly even noticing that we were pulling anything.
Q: What sets this van apart as being a better deal than other similar vans for sale on Ebay?
A: (1) Low mileage (43,380) for a three-year-old van, (2) Beautiful, practically like-new running condition and appearance, (3) Loaded with amenities (separate front and rear air conditioner controls, AM/FM radio, MP3/CD player with 3 sets of speakers and front and rear audio controls, driver controlled power windows and locks, etc.), (4) Extended size 15-passenger van, (5) Extras - running boards and trailer hitch + wiring harness, (6) Four new LT245/75R16 all-weather Nexen Rodian HT tires purchased in Fredericksburg, just before we moved to Corpus, (7) Unbeatable minimum bid asking price for a van this nice. The van retailed new for over $35,000. The present NADA Blue Book value for a clean van like this (without the trailer hitch and wiring harness) is $19,500. Considering what we have put into the van (about $2,500 in repairs, maintenance and extras plus a down payment, taxes, registration and 11 months of payments and insurance), we will have to take a big loss, but we really need to sell it. We are asking for only what we owe on the van plus a little extra to cover the cost of this Ebay ad.
We are asking a $200 immediate deposit and the balance of the winning bid (cash or cashier's check) when the van is picked up at our home in Corpus Christi, Texas. When the van is picked up, we will issue the purchaser a bill of sale and mail the title to the purchaser (overnight delivery) as soon as we pay the van off and receive the title from our Credit Union.
Questions? Please feel free to contact me through the Ask (the Seller) a Question link. Or, you are welcome to check the van out in person or have an independent inspection done. Just contact me so that we can arrange for time and location.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
eBay Find of the Day: 25-station video gaming trailer w/ bonus Ford F-250
Fri, Nov 28 2014Why, you might be asking yourself, is Autoblog showing me an eBay Motors listing for a 2006 Ford F-250 and a box trailer (with a badly cropped photo to boot)? It's not because we're highly interested in this blue-collar rig, to be sure, but rather because we're interested in throwing the greatest Forza party of all time. Housed in that innocuous white 26-foot trailer is a gamer's delight, with 25 Xbox 360 systems connected up to 25 high-definition monitors and 24 headsets to keep everyone locked into the action (one of the stations is outside the trailer). When connected up to one of two included generators, the setup allows for two-dozen combatants to square off, back-to-back and head-to-head. Sure, the Buy It Now price of $79,000 seems steep considering the trailer will need about ten grand worth of Xbox One or Playstation 4 upgrades in the near future. But that doesn't mean you couldn't squeeze out a few more years of massive multiplayer fun. Check out the listing here, and do let us know if you buy it, we'd love to come over and game.

Editors' Picks February 2021 | Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Mazda CX-30 and more
Wed, Mar 10 2021If we’ve driven and reviewed it, thereÂ’s an Autoblog Rating for it. ItÂ’s been over two years since we launched a new rating system to help you evaluate cars at a glance. We tweaked and improved it along the way and quickly arrived at a consistent process for giving each and every car on sale today a fair score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. Every car we rate gets a score from 1 to 10, making it easy for you to tell if itÂ’s a car worth pursuing and possibly purchasing. YouÂ’ll find the scores of previously-rated cars attached toward the top of our written reviews. For example, the Bronco SportÂ’s rating can be found here. The Acura TLXÂ’s rating is in this post, and the Nissan RogueÂ’s rating is right here. There are hundreds of examples to be found. The above examples make up the most natural ways to find the Autoblog rating when researching for your next car, but starting today, weÂ’re going to begin calling out each new set of Editors' Picks per month in their own breakout stories. This will put the newest and most recently refreshed cars on sale on a pedestal for you to see which ones are worth your while. WeÂ’ll typically rate anywhere between 5-10 new cars per month, so you can count on just a select few from those to make this list. Expect to see this recurring ratings post each month going forward, and read on for FebruaryÂ’s EditorsÂ’ Picks.  2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Genesis GV80 View 18 Photos Quick take: The stylish GV80 offers useful safety features, compelling design and sporty dynamics to push it near the top of the segment. Genesis takes risks with this aggressive crossover, and the result is a luxurious vehicle that is rewarding to drive. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Acura MDX, Lexus RX Pros: Beautiful design, good road manners, awesome value Cons: Small third row and cargo space, less comfortable standard suspension From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The GV80 is a hugely important vehicle for Genesis. It makes a style statement, has an elegant interior and is a compelling all-round execution. It looks like a Bentley, and I give Genesis props for taking some risks with the GV80 and largely pulling it all off.
