Up for Auction is a:
My Freestyle is a 2006 Limited AWD and is loaded with virtually every option available including: DVD, Navigation (2009 Nav Disc), front, side full length air bags, driver and passenger seat airbags. 7 passenger seating, rear heat/air, sliding moonroof and much more. I have a copy of the original window sticker which I can email. THIS IS A NON SMOKING CAR. Actual Mileage as of September 2nd is 146,502. This is my daily driver and I am limiting the amount of driving I am doing since placing her up for sale. I will update again if necessary.
What I've done to her: I've changed her oil every 4500-5000 miles using Motorcraft 5W20 Synthetic Blend and Motorcraft Filters, Air Filter, Front Lower Left and Right Control Arms, Sway Bar end Links, Tuned up at 120,000 miles with Motorcraft plugs, Front brakes and rotors, rear brakes. I also installed a cabin air filter as discussed in one of the blogs. She has 147,000 miles and if you look into the oil fill port on top of the engine, the timing chain shines. She also has a new radiator and antifreeze change, PS fluid change from mineral to Synthetic Mobil 1 ATF. The transaxle roll resister and the lower front transmission are brand new. The most important service on this vehicle is the CVT Fluid. The CVT has been serviced in accordance with the maintainance log at 60,000 and 120,000 miles. This included draining and replacing the fluid and the high pressure filter as well as the filter in the bottom pan. I have marked the service date and mileage in the engine compartment. As for oil changes, I follow the electronic reminder in the dash and change when the reminder gets to 20% oil life left. The Oil was changed today (09/01/2013).
Knock on wood, she has never had an engine code or the wrench light come on and has passed NY State Inspection every year since I purchased her in 2008.
We just came back from three weeks in Florida and the air blows cold and the temperature control panel works great. She got 26-27mpg on the highway and has averaged the usual 17-18mpg around town. (We live in NYC). For traveling, this car has the rear DVD entertainment system. The front stereo/nav system allows the DVD system to be isolated from the radio and cd's using wireless headphones in the rear. I am also including the headphones and DVD remote control.
What I have planned for the near future: I maintain her with only Genuine Ford Parts and was purchasing front shocks. I have the Motorcraft Strut Mounts for the front and a Monroe Sensormatic 72260 for the Left Front. Right shock is (Monroe 72259) is on its way. I also have a new serpentine belt to go on. I purchased but never installed two rear sway bar end links but the are included. Also have but haven't installed a new heated seat pads in the drivers seat. If I have good weather, I will install the new shocks or if the car sells, they will be included with the car as well as the uper strut mounts.
What she will need: She will need four tires as well as an alignment after the shocks and tires are installed. The current tires probably have another 10,000 mile left on them.
Her general condition: There is one cart ding hardly noticable on the drivers door. A stone chip in the front windshield has been repaired by Saflite. There is a very slight verticle dent in the rear bumper cover on the right side. There is no rust anywhere on the car. All these items will be included in the additional photos I am going to post. We are expected to have horrible weather over the next two days and once it has passed, I will take them.
She is a strong runner and the AWD works perfectly. There have not been any accidents with this car and she has not been abused whatsoever. She handles the snow really well where others don't. There has been only one other owner and they maintained the vehicle through their Ford Dealer. I have that record available.
I do have the NY Title with a Lien against her which this sale will satisfy. I will forward the title to the new owner via express mail along with a bill of sale. Also, by NY Law, the lienholder must send the Lien Release within 20 days which I will also forward via USPS Express Mail. Having a Lien will not prevent you from registering the car in your name. It only means that the lien will follow to your state title until the release is received and your state will then issue a clear title.
The purchaser is responsible for picking up the car or arranging for shipping. However, I will deliver the car within 50 miles of Staten Island once full payment is received.
JUST A NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. I ALSO HAVE THIS CAR LISTED ON CRAIGS LIST HERE IN NEW YORK. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS THERE THAT ARE TOO LARGE THAT EBAY WON'T ALLOW. CHECK IT OUT.
The winning buyer is responsible for any taxes from their respective state or local. I do not collect tax on the sale of this vehicle but will provide a proper NY State Bill of Sale (DTF 802) that will accompany the title.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
