For sale 1998 Ford Escort SE. 178782 original miles (miles may go up by a few due to me driving it to keep it maintained around the block). Never smoked in. The car runs and drives really well for its age. My girlfriend received it from her father as a graduation present and drove it for 4 years. It has been very reliable and great on gas and has been mostly driven on the highway going back and forth to school and work. Only selling because she upgraded to a newer car and wont be able to afford insurance for 3 vehicles.

I have just recently replaced the following within the past year:

New Battery 12/2013 (Autocraft Silver)

Rear struts and springs (Quick strut)

Rear brake lines

Front ball joints (MOOG)

Front sway bar links (MOOG)

Plug wire set (Bosch)

Double platinum spark plugs (Autolite)

Front brake pads (Duralast)

Transmission flush

Power steering flush

New air filter (Motorcraft replaced at 177500 with oil change)

The timing belt and water pump has been also replaced as of 2/09 with approximately 140,000 miles (receipts retained)

The A/C will need to be recharged, I believe its low on refrigerant. Last season it blew pretty cold, but not perfect. Recently its not as cold, but gets colder the more you drive. Compressor still kicks on so more than likely a pound or so of R-134a could be added. (Possible small leak)

The alignment is a little off, so it will need a new front end alignment

Passenger side door has been repainted the closest color I could match to the color code for the car. We got the car with a huge dent in the door panel next to the handle from a deer running into it while driving. The door wouldn't latch so I picked up a whole new door assembly from LKQ that was red. Everything latches properly now and I repainted the inside and out of the panel to match.

Besides a few cosmetic issues, the car would be great for daily commuting or a first car. I haven't had any serious issues besides the normal wear parts such as brake pads, and suspension parts. I am asking $1500 O.B.O. as is. I am willing to come down a little bit in price, but no low ball offers. If I cant sell at a reasonable price, I will keep it for myself to drive daily. My name is Tyler and if you have any questions feel free to message me, or call/ text me at 269-635-2765.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and ClassicÂ” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. Â“Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) Â– the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,Â” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, Â“you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

Ford names Lincoln chief as North American president following Nair's departure

Thu, Feb 22 2018

Ford announced yesterday that its North American president Raj Nair would no longer be working for the company due to "inappropriate behavior." As a result, the company needed fill that gaping vacancy. The new North American president and Ford Group vice president will be Kumar Galhotra, and his term in the new role will start on March 1. Galhotra will remain the group vice president and chief marketing officer for Lincoln through March, meaning he's the head of the luxury brand. He's had this position since 2014. Before that, he was vice president of engineering for all of Ford. With Galhotra's promotion, a number of internal promotions follow. Joy Falotico, current chairman, CEO and group vice president of Ford's credit division will fill Galhotra's position, and Dave McClelland, vice president of marketing for Ford Asia Pacific, will fill her role. Other shuffling at Ford includes Stewart Rawley's promotion to vice president for Ford North America and chief operating officer. He is the current vice president for strategy at Ford. Ford China's chairman and CEO John Lawler will take Rawley's old role, and Cathy O'Callaghan will take over Lawler's job at Ford China, but not until June 1. O'Callaghan is currently vice president, corporate controller and chief financial officer for global markets at Ford. Related Video:
