Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SMALL DENT BY HEADLIGHTS, SCRAPED A POLE IN TARGET PARKING LOT. HIT A CURB AT TARGET (don't go to target anymore....!) and did underbody damage, swing arm, flat tire, all repairs made at certified local mechanic shop. SMALL RUSTED OUT SPOT AT BOTTOM OF DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. WAS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTERS AND IF SOMETHING WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT WE ALWAYS HAD IT REPAIRED."

I have owned this vehicle for 10 years. It has survived my teenagers and is still trucking along! It always starts and gets you from point A to point B. It would be a great fixer upper for someone with the know how. It does have a lot of quirky old car issues. The hood latch is rusty and not sure it is secure. Just to be safe I secured it with a bungee from underneath. There is a bad wire and the dash lights do not work. There is a bad wire or switch and the brake lights stay on all the time. If you pull the fuse when you park it does not drain the battery. When you leave you pop it back in. These are easy fixes if you like to tinker and have the time. Tires, battery, timing belt and ball joints replaced about a year ago. A/C compressor also. It has a rattle up front, have not had checked out yet. Perhaps a spring needs attention or something in that area. Interior is tan. Okay condition for age, could benefit from a good carpet cleaner. Spare tire and jack in the trunk. Starts every time, shifts great and smooth and has good acceleration. It's an old car, it is what it is.

Ford hurt by 2015 F-150 production restraints

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The new 2015 Ford F-150 came out of the gate strong for January 2015 with all F-Series sales up 17 percent for the month. However, February tempered those gains a bit with the model line dipping 1.2 percent, and the Ford brand itself dropped 1.7 percent year-over-year. The fall is being blamed in part on tight supply of the latest pickup. A major factor holding back the 2015 F-150 is that they are only currently being made at the Dearborn Truck Plant. The Kansas City factory is still changing over, and full supply from them both is expected by the middle of the year. Ford also just announced plans to hire an extra 1,550 people to build the pickups, including 900 in Kansas City. However, the downtime in the assembly changeover has caused about 90,000 units in lost production since mid-2014, according to The Detroit Free Press. It's not all bad news for the pickup, though. The latest F-150 made up 21 percent of F-Series sales in February, according to The Detroit Free Press, up from 18 percent in the previous month, and they remained on dealer lots an average of 18 days. The lessened supply has also meant lower incentives. Mark LaNeve, Ford's US marketing boss, told the Free Press that average F-150 transaction prices were up $2,000 from last year. He also indicated that retail figures grew seven percent in February, while F-Series fleet numbers were down 18 percent. The constrained supply does come at an inopportune time for Ford, though. This year is expected to be huge for pickups. Also, lower gas prices appear to be pushing people towards SUVs and trucks recently. Related Video:

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
