2007 Black Ford Focus Hatchback 5 Speed With Speaker System And Sirius/xm Radio on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I have been the only owner of this 2007 Ford Focus SE manual hatchback. It was purchased brand new in October 2006 in Gainesville, Florida. There are no major mechanical problems. The steering wheel is a little difficult to turn from a dead stop, but once moving the steering is normal. Power steering level is full so this may be due to the power steering pump. Oil changes have been kept up every 3000-5000 miles. There are a few minor scratches and one small dent near the front of the hood. I have had garage parking since moving to Chicago in 2011. I installed a brand new Bosch Battery in June 2014. The battery has a 36/96 month warranty. The car was taken in for a tune up in June 2014 where new spark plugs were installed by the dealer. Air Conditioning and Heat work properly. Only one accident to report. I let off the brake at a stop light and bumped the car ahead of me. No damage was done to their vehicle and the only damage done to my car was cracking the plastic license plate cover.
This Ford Focus comes with a Moon Roof that opens completely or to whatever you extent you want. The Moon Roof also flips up. The car also has front and rear windshield wipers. The upholstery in the car is in great condition. I do not smoke and have never allowed anyone to smoke in the car. Title is clean and record is available of passed emissions test as well as any mechanical work/oil changes done. This car is very dependable as I have driven it since 2006 without any mechanical issues. The five speed manual transmission makes it ideal for driving in snow. Being from Florida, I was worried about how the car would perform in the snow. I can attest that the car has handled Chicago winters very well. This car is very quick and if you like driving a stick shift you will enjoy driving this 5 speed! The Kelly Blue Book value for this car in Good Condition is $3065. I will be asking for slightly more than this due to the installed audio equipment. Payment will be required 7 days after the sale is completed. I will accept Cashier's Check, Personal Check, or Cash. I will require a $500 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of auction end. Shipping/Pickup of the vehicle will be the buyer's responsibility. |

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh
Tue, 27 Aug 2013There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
