I listed my truck on e-bay a few years ago and a gentleman drove from North Carolina to inspect it and bought it before auction ended. Vehicle must be paid for before it leaves my possosion, No need to ship vehicle, come get it and drive it across the country to your home if need be. If vehicle is shipped, buyer must make all arrangments and pay all shipping costs, and vehicle will be paid for with proof in writing from my bank that proves I have the funds before it ships. (this may take up to a week) Best to pay in person with cash for quicker sale. I will fully cooperate with the shipping company to make transaction smooth, I prefer to deal with buyer in person. I require a $300 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit thru pay pal within 48 hours of auction end, and full payment in 7 days of auction end unless prior arrangements have been made. If deposit is not made within 48 hours, winning bidder will be reported to e-bay and vehicle will be re-listed and/or offered to next highest bidder. I prefer cash in person, but will accept bank wire transfer. Please, please, please, come look at this vehicle before bidding to inspect it, I want you to be happy with your purchase. I believe this is about as close to new as you can get for a 2008 vehicle as far as condition, However, keep in mind, it is not a new vehicle, be reasonable with your expectations. I believe it has 1 very minor door ding on drivers door by the door handle, and may have a very light scratch here and there. If vehicle is not as described when you pick it up, you do not have to buy it, but THE $300 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WILL BE KEPT to pay for e-bay fees, etc. With that being said, if you do not come and look at it, and the vehicle ships, it is yours and can not be returned. If you want the local Ford Dealership to do a pre-purchase inspection for you, I will be glad to take it there or any other local maintenance shop for a report on condition for you, etc. You will be responsible for any costs for this, but I assume you could pay over the phone with your credit card with no problem and they could fax you their findings. I have never done this before, but is an option for the buyer. Again, I understand this is a large purchase and I want you to be happy with it. I have no reason to think the buyer wouldn't be happy with this vehicle.

Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
2015 Ford Expedition
Mon, 21 Jul 2014While the tide of bigger-is-better SUVs has been in recession since, well, the recession, fullsize utes are still very much with us. Conservative creatures that have been loathe to evolve, fullsize SUVs nonetheless remain enduringly popular among large families, livery customers, and anyone with lots of friends, relatives, and toys to tug around. With respect to Toyota and Nissan, the only players that really matter in the segment are the new-for-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, the GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and this truck: the Ford Expedition, the latest evolution of which we just drove for the first time at a press preview in West Virginia.
Unlike the General Motors utilities, the standard Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL are not all-new, but rather are heavily refreshed versions of the same basic truck Ford started selling way back in 2007. The front fascia is where most of the exterior update happens for 2015, with a new three-bar grille design, halogen projector headlamps, and new bumper design with available LED foglamps. Despite all the new bits, the facelift breaks exactly zero ground in terms of design; in fact, it already looks dated, and will only look older once the macho 2015 F-150 bows later this year. Even less has changed out back, where the tailgate gets a wide chrome band spanning the taillamps and a new chrome exhaust tip. Other exterior changes are generally limited to colors and an all-new wheel lineup that includes a gleaming set of six-spoke 22-inch polished wheels on high-end models.
Speaking of high-end models, a new Platinum trim is positioned above the cowboy-spec King Ranch model for 2015. Both the Platinum and King Ranch get their own color combos and exterior trim finishes (satin metal for the Platinum, chrome everywhere and ginormous badges for the King Ranch) and posh, leather-lined interiors with their own aesthetic. The Expedition family also now includes a price-leading XL model, as well as XLT and Limited grades.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
