2002 Ford Explorer XLS
IT RUNS, BUT NEEDS WORK

THIS AUCTION IS NO RESERVE!

You already know that the Ford Explorer is a cool SUV. It's comfortable, has good features and good power. This one has never been wrecked. The interior is still pretty good. All the power accessories work, cold A/C, heater's good, etc....

I'm just going to list out the good and bad...

THE GOOD:

It Runs!
New Inspection
Clear and clean title
XLS Trim
Tow package with hitch ball
Cold A/C
Heater is good
Cruise Control
AM/FM/CD
Tires and wheels are ok
Upholstery is ok
Power windows all work
Back seat air vents and power
Fold-down seats
4.0 SOHC engine
No coolant or major oil leaks
Brakes work fine
Luggage rack

THE BAD:

Engine runs a bit rough
You can start and drive the SUV when the engine is cold, but if you run it a while and shut the engine off, it will not start back up right away. Instead you have to let the engine completely cool down. And then it will start again. I know it's weird. There are several opinions on as to what this issue is. The most popular seems to be that it's the fuel pump or fuel filter. I don't know. And, I don't feel like messing with it.
The engine makes a rattling sound. My mechanic tells me it is being caused by worn timing chain guides. I don't think it really affects the way the engine runs, but it does make some noise. Not horrible though. It may be why the engines runs rough though.
Valve covers need gaskets replaced. There is some oil leaking onto the manifold, so sometimes you can smell it. It's not a huge leak though.
I had the transmission refurbished about 5 years ago or so. When the weather is cold outside, and you put the vehicle in reverse, sometimes it will not go right away. You can either shift into drive for a second, or just let the vehicle warm up for a minute or so, and then everything usually works fine.

Other issues-

The air for the AC and heater only blows straight out the main vents. This is due to a small plastic mechanism that is controlled by a switch beneath the dash by the glove compartment. I don't think this would be a difficult fix, but I didn't want to mess with it. So, I had my mechanic set it so that I could have good cold air out the vents for the summer. For the winter, I just point the main vents downword.
Some of the carpet in the rear, behind the backseat is damaged due to a car battery that we were returning leaking on the way to the store.

So, like with all of my auctions, I'm being as up front about everything as I can. If you are a mechanic, you could probably spend a few hours and maybe a couple hundred dollars and have a great vehicle with this Explorer. If you're not a mechanic, there is going to be some costs involved in making this vehicle run great again.

This would be a great fixer-upper, or a great parts vehicle. At minimum, to drive it regularly, you would have to get the "not starting reliably" issue resolved.

This auction is for LOCAL PICKUP ONLY.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY. THERE ARE NO RETURNS.

Good Luck, and contact me with any questions prior to bidding.

Payment is due within 3 days of auction end.

Pick up of the vehicle is required within a week.

Thanks so much.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
