RELIST DUE TO A NONPAYING BIDDER. PLEASE DONT BID IF YOU CANT MAKE THE REQUIRED $100 WITHIN 24 HOURS AND PAY/PICKUP WITHIN 7 DAYS. THANKS. Hi for sale is a used 2000 ford focus zx3 with a clean title, automatic and it runs and drives. This was my sons car until he bought one from the dealer, I used it for a few months and now I have no room in my yard. 166,697 miles, need works but nothing major, all can be done in one weekend if your ok with repairing cars. I will list this once as needing repairs because I don't have the time or the room for it. If it doesn't sell I will fix everything and relist it in fully running condition. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence, I don't misrepresent my items and I've been on ebay over a decade with perfect feedback. The car needs a tie rod on the front right side, valve cover gasket, emergency brake needs adjusting. It has a pioneer stereo CD player with Bluetooth and remote, needs o2 sensor but I will include that just screw it in, easy to access. Starts every time, just needs work. Needs one exhaust hanger in the back, scratches and scrapes for this year car due to age and normal wear and tear. Windshield has a small crack, hood and fender have a dent from when I hit a deer but I pulled it out some, it was a backup car so I didn't think I needed to repair it. Front two tires are ok, he put two newer tires on the rear. The headlights have halo rings around them and the fog lights are hyper white, super bright. This car needs a few minor things to pass inspection, don't let this stop you from getting a good deal. Fix it and drive it, I drove it this way for awhile and now I don't need it. Some of the rims don't have he caps, truck latch closes but needs slight adjustment, comes with key and remote, power locks, manual windows. He put mirrors with turn signals on them but the lights aren't connected to power. Has ac but needs to be charged. Needs some light bulbs/wring and high beams don't work due to him changing to aftermarket lights but that can all be fixed. No reserve and no neg/zero feedback bidders please. Any questions please email me, you're welcome to see the car before you bid. Deposit by paypal of $100 within 24 hours of you winning or I will relist it to make sure you're serious about the purchase. Car can be driven home with your plates but the tie rod knocks some when driven so you might want to trailer it. Good luck! Again this is a used car, if you're not ok with fixing it please don't bid then leave me my first negative. I'm honest and really need the room. I have six cars with room for four, so two of them are on the grass. I work a lot and don't want to mess with them anymore. If I find the repair manual, it's yours. I can also tell you how to fix everything I mentioned above and you can get the parts from any local auto parts store. Thanks.

The next steps automakers could take after sales drop again in April

Tue, May 2 2017

DETROIT (Reuters) - Major automakers on Tuesday posted declines in U.S. new vehicle sales for April in a sign the long boom cycle that lifted the American auto industry to record sales last year is losing steam, sending carmaker stocks down. The drop in sales versus April 2016 came on the heels of a disappointing March, which automakers had shrugged off as just a bad month. But two straight weak months has heightened Wall Street worries the cyclical industry is on a downward swing after a nearly uninterrupted boom since the Great Recession's end in 2010. Auto sales were a drag on U.S. first-quarter gross domestic product, with the economy growing at an annual rate of just 0.7 percent according to an advance estimate published by the Commerce Department last Friday. Excluding the auto sector the GDP growth rate would have been 1.2 percent. Industry consultant Autodata put the industry's seasonally adjusted annualized rate of sales at 16.88 million units for April, below the average of 17.2 million units predicted by analysts polled by Reuters. General Motors Co shares fell 2.9 percent while Ford Motor Co slid 4.3 percent and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's U.S.-traded shares tumbled 4.2 percent. The U.S. auto industry faces multiple challenges. Sales are slipping and vehicle inventory levels have risen even as carmakers have hiked discounts to lure customers. A flood of used vehicles from the boom cycle are increasingly competing with new cars. The question for automakers: How much and for how long to curtail production this summer, which will result in worker layoffs? To bring down stocks of unsold vehicles, the Detroit automakers need to cut production, and offer more discounts without creating "an incentives war," said Mark Wakefield, head of the North American automotive practice for AlixPartners in Southfield, Michigan. "We see multiple weeks (of production) being taken out on the car side," he said, "and some softness on the truck side." Rival automakers will be watching each other to see if one is cutting prices to gain market share from another, he said, instead of just clearing inventory. INVESTORS DIGEST BAD NEWS Just last week GM reported a record first-quarter profit, but that had almost zero impact on the automaker's stock. The iconic carmaker, whose own interest was once conflated with that of America's, has slipped behind luxury carmaker Tesla Inc in terms of valuation.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
