This auction is for a 1993 Ford F250 heavy duty pick up truck that we have owned for about 4 years after purchasing it from the original owner.  They were selling it due to the fact that they were elderly and after damaging the front fender on a guard rail, decided it was too big for them to handle and we were the lucky ones to buy it. Infact, the next owner will receive the picture of the original owner that we keep on the sunvisor.  We keep it there to keep him in our thoughts since he sold us such a great truck which we are thankful for.   Over the years, the truck has been ultra reliable for us and has done everything we asked it to do which was mainly to haul our 30ft and 36ft travel trailers and to make trips out of state to pick up cars.  We do not think twice or hesitate to drive it anywhere.  Why are we selling it?  We have sold our house and are moving to Florida and are only taking two of our 5 cars and selling the other three.  We have already sold our campers and do not need the truck anymore.
The truck has only 131,XXX miles on it which is a low 6K per year and has another 100,000 left in it.  The engine is the 5.7 liter 460 and will pull just about everything.  It runs well for us but is due for a tune up.  One side of the exhaust has a leak, but the other side has a new gasket.  The A/C compressor was removed, but all of the lines are there if the new owner wanted to put a compressor back in.  It starts every time and runs all day.
The body is decent with the exception of the crinkled front fender and surrounding area that you can see in the pictures.  The bed is a full size 8ft unit and is equipped with a 5th wheel hitch which is removable when not needed.  The cab is an extended cab and can fit 3 adults or 4 children in the back seat, or it can be folded down to store your gear.  The front seats are bucket seats which is much more comfortable than the standard bench seat.  The upholstery is very good for the year of the truck.  The radio works intermittently and comes on sometimes and is always guaranteed to shut off during a good song or during a funny part of Car Talk on NPR.  The tires are ok but one rear on has some cracking in the sidewall.

Overall, this is just a good honest truck that has faithfully served us well over the years and one that we would never be selling if we weren't moving to Florida.  It is not perfect by any means, but it will serve the new owner well for years to come. 
We highly recommend any potential buyer to come over and look at it in person PRIOR TO BIDDING or send an auto inspection service to give a report.  Local bidders are encouraged to bring their mechanic to inspect it, again, prior to bidding.  We love this truck and think very highly of it and want the new owners to feel the same.
A $300 deposit is required immediately at the end of auction by paypal, and the balance is due within 7 days after the auction is done which is when we would like it picked up by then.  Title is free and clear.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

Ford recalling 2015 Mustang for fuel line leak, 20K Transit Connects for plastic panel

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below. Ford Issues Safety Recall for Certain 2015 Mustang Vehicles in North America for Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue Dec 4, 2014 | DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 730 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America (actual 728) for a potential fuel line leak. A fuel pressure sensor, which is part of the fuel supply tube assembly, may have been installed incorrectly, potentially resulting in a pressurized fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Ford is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Ford Mustangs equipped with 2.3-liter engines built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Sept. 25, 2014 to Oct. 9, 2014. Ford is aware of 712 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 16 in Canada. These totals are as of Dec. 3, 2014.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
