I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, so I need to sell the car as soon as possible.

As you will see from the below description, I have included all details on the car. There is nothing to hide. I also have the CarFax report. Email me if you would like me to send to you. You will not find this much detail on a 10 year old car elsewhere.

Color

Exterior: Patriot Blue C/C Metallic
Interior: Dark Charcoal Cloth
Tint on rear window and back seat windows. According to paperwork this was ordered by the dealer in February 2003. It has a full lifetime warranty from Ziebart. There are no issues with the tint.

Other
92,450 miles
Nearly brand new front tires (only 3k miles)
Nearly brand new battery and starter (less than 3k miles)
2 Keyless entry remotes
3 factory Ford keys
Factory owners manual

Operating

All features are fully functional (power locks, windows, radio, head lights, etc.).
Air Conditioning and Heating work excellent.
The parking/emergency brake light is illuminated on the instrument panel (this light came on about 3 months ago). I had this inspected by Goodyear when I had the oil changed and they said it’s a $15 switch that has to be replaced. They didn’t have the switch on hand or I would have had it fixed.  

History

The city of Champaign is the original owner.  The car was used by traffic meter staff for the 7 years it was owned by the city of Champaign. I have all of the original service records for the time the car was owned by the city of Champaign. The city performed all scheduled preventative maintenance in line with the factory recommendations. Thus the car runs like new.

I purchased the car from the City of Champaign in April of 2010 with 82,000 miles. The car currently has 92,450 miles. Since I live in the city, I have only used the car for trips to the grocery store, airport, etc. Thus I have only put 10,000 miles on the car in 3.5 years. Since I have owned the car I have had the oil changed every 3-4 months and minor maintenance, including:

  •          Replacing belt tensioner and belt in August of 2010 with 82,500 miles
  •          Having air conditioning serviced in July of 2012 with 88,500 miles
  •          Purchasing new front tires in August of 2012 with 89,000 miles (40,000 mile limited warranty)
  •          Replacing battery in September 2012 with 89,500 miles
  •          Replacing starter in October of 2012 with 90,000 miles

The car was in a minor front end collision in August of 2011 (5-10 mph). The air bags did not deploy. The hood buckled as a result of the accident and was therefore replaced in August of 2011. You will notice from the pictures that the hood is a slightly different color than the rest of the body as the hood was replaced with a factory hood from a lighter blue Taurus. This is a minor cosmetic issue and can be fixed by having the hood painted or replaced.  

Also, girlfriend hit a pole while parking in 2011. You can see the scratch on passenger side rear door/quarter panel.  Also minor (1 inch) dent (was there when I purchased) near the passenger side door handle.

Price

KBB.com notes the following:

Excellent:            $3,557

Very Good:          $3,332
Good:                   $3,207
Fair:                     $2,807

Given the cosmetic damages on the exterior, the car falls into the Good category (mechanically it would fall under Excellent).


Since I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, I need to sell the car as soon as possible. As such, I am listing the car for $2,500 OBO. I have a free and clear title in hand ready to go.

Serious inquiries only.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
