1998 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Edition 4x4 Suv 5.4l Triton V8 - $1 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Old Greenwich, Connecticut, United States
|
The Expedition has almost 138,500 highway miles as of listing date. It is currently my daily driver so miles may increase. It has been maintained very well by previous owners and myself. I brought it in for oil changes every 3k miles. Before the winter it got new ABS sensor, rear u-joint and control arms as per my mechanic's recommendation. It has the 5.4L V8 engine with an automatic transmission. It is the Eddie Bauer Edition but the originally gold trim has been painted black. Since this Expedition has the Eddie Bauer package, it has many features including; remote entry, power windows, power locks, A/C, power seat, leather seats, cassette player, 6-disc CD-Player, and more. This expedition can seat up to 8 people comfortably, or remove the rear bench and fold down the middle row to have plenty of cargo space. It also has a trailer package installed which provides a 2" receiver and a 7 pin port for trailer lights. The condition of the vehicle has been clearly described to the best of my ability in the "condition description" provided in this auction: "The exterior has a few minor scratches and one small dent behind the passenger's side rear wheel. Also, the passenger's side rear center cap is missing. The gold trim, fog lights, front and rear bumpers have been painted black. The driver’s seat is torn pretty badly. There is a small plastic ring missing from the overdrive button on the gear shifter, but it still works as is. The 4x4 engages and disengages fine, however there is some noise when driving in 4x4. The "Check Suspension" light is on... The stock "subwoofer", located in the rear, is blown and will buzz on occasion. A squeaking sound will come from the front end on occasion. Lastly, it could use an alignment because it pulls to the right the slightest bit." - The "Check Suspension" light is on only because the previous owner has converted this vehicle from the stock rear air bag suspension to aftermarket rear coil over suspension. The light is on because the plugs to the airbag suspension have been since disconnected. The rear suspension works just as it should with the newer, lower maintenance, coil over suspension. I would strongly suggest looking at the vehicle in person before bidding because the vehicle is sold AS IS with NO WARRANTY. I reserve the right to end the auction early because the vehicle is also for sale locally. The expedition is already 16 years old so it is by no means perfect. It runs and drives strong but it will need some minor work as described above. The only reason why I am selling it is because I need a heavy duty pick up truck for work. Sorry for the inconvenience in re-listing auction. The black rims and aggressive tires that were previously on the expedition are no longer available at the moment. Please note all the changes in the description. Also any questions or picture requests feel free to email call or text. Thank you -Phil Cell# (203) 2 1 9 - 6 6 1 0 On Feb-22-14 at 09:19:31 PST, seller added the following information: Additional pictures: |

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Ford fights back against patent trolls
Fri, Feb 13 2015Some people are just awful. Some organizations are just as awful. And when those people join those organizations, we get stories like this one, where Ford has spent the past several years combatting so-called patent trolls. According to Automotive News, these malicious organizations have filed over a dozen lawsuits against the company since 2012. They work by purchasing patents, only to later accuse companies of misusing intellectual property, despite the fact that the so-called patent assertion companies never actually, you know, do anything with said intellectual property. AN reports that both Hyundai and Toyota have been victimized by these companies, with the former forced to pay $11.5 million to a company called Clear With Computers. Toyota, meanwhile, settled with Paice LLC, over its hybrid tech. The world's largest automaker agreed to pay $5 million, on top of $98 for every hybrid it sold (if the terms of the deal included each of the roughly 1.5 million hybrids Toyota sold since 2000, the company would have owed $147 million). Including the previous couple of examples, AN reports 107 suits were filed against automakers last year alone. But Ford is taking action to prevent further troubles... kind of. The company has signed on with a firm called RPX, in what sounds strangely like a protection racket. Automakers like Ford pay RPX around $1.5 million each year for access to its catalog of patents, which it spent nearly $1 billion building. "We take the protection and licensing of patented innovations very seriously," Ford told AN via email. "And as many smart businesses are doing, we are taking proactive steps to protect against those seeking patent infringement litigation." What are your thoughts on this? Should this patent business be better managed? Is it reasonable that companies purchase patents only to file suit against the companies that build actual products? Have your say in Comments.
