Up for sale is my 1995 Ford Probe GT. I am the second owner of the vehicle and used it to commute to and from work for about a year. The car is a great vehicle, low mileage for the year and it has a fun to drive 2.5L V6 with 5 speed. After a year of driving the car, I got a company car through my work and didn't drive it much, but still liked the little Probe. The car wasn't driven much for about 2 years as I had a company car, but I did take it out on weekends and around town to run it. The car is mostly stock with the exception of a cold air intake and a test pipe for the exhaust which takes away the cat converter. I have all the original air intake and catalytic converter. The car passed NJ inspection with flying colors, but if you live in NJ and want me to reinspect it should you win, I will do so for an additional $100.00. I purchased new tires about 1 year ago and have only put about 2000 miles on them, I also brought it to a local mechanic for a tune and checkup at that time. The car needed a new radiator and a new distributor and crank position sensor. I also put new brakes on the car and new rear calipers. I have had the oil changed on this car every 3500 miles and have taken good care of it, however it is an older car and despite the low mileage it does still need a few things. The car needs a new battary as the one thats in there now runs down and the gauge on the dash shows it's low. The car also has a hole in the exhaust near the muffler so it's louder than usual. Honestly, I was between putting Borla exhaust and a new battery or selling it for money for a ring for my girl. It came down to keeping the girl and with this being an older car other things can come up that need fixing and being that I don't drive it that much, it's just not worth it for me to put money into it. The exterior of the car is ok for it's age, it has a few small dents on the hood, sides and roof. The paint of the rear bumper is faded and the PS FR fog light is missing. The PS of vehicle has a dent in the quarter panel and as a result it's caused a gap near the ps hatch lid. Also, the ps rear window is not cemented at the bottom. If you are looking for a mint condition Probe, this is not your car...However if you are looking for a good probe with low miles and a couple easy mechanical fixes and you don't mind the body having a dent on the PS, this a great vehicle for you. The car is being sold AS IS. I will not ship the car, so if you are the winning bidder you can come and get it or arrange shipping. If you would like to come see the car, please email me, I do work long hours on weekdays and some weekends but I can make a time that you can come out. If you have any questions please email me. The car battery is low, but if you want to drive it home I can throw a trickle charger on it overnight and charge it up for you. I have tried to describe the vehicle to the best of my knowledge, but I am not a mechanic. The car is 17 years old and being that I don't drive it much there could be other things that need fixing, but I am not aware of it. The car is sold as is and where is. There are no warning lights on the dash and all accessories work well. A/C is cold, heat is hot, radio works. The power antenna works but sometimes doesn't extend fully. I usually give it a shot of WD every once and a while and that works. For winning bidder, 500 deposit due via Pay Pal within 48hrs of winning auction and the rest paid cash upon pickup. I have the title in hand and still have an active insurance policy on vehicle so if you come to look, I can take you for a ride. The mileage on the car has been listed, however I may be driving the vehicle locally or for test rides so it might change slightly. I have a video of a walk around car and car running at http://youtu.be/gZILey_FHvg

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
