This car belongs to my Queen.  I will be the first to tell you that she does not cherish her car as I do.  I park way out in BFE as not to get any doors dings on my car.  She... not so much.  I wax my car and wash it every time it rains.  She... I wash and wax hers when I have time.  As of now it is clean only because I just did it.  I made her get all of her water bottles and garbage out so we could sell the Taurus to make way for the SUV she has been wanting for sometime.  Now that you know why it is for sale allow me to tell you a bit more about the car itself.  


The miles listed in this ad, will be wrong by the time the auction closes (estimate an additional 200-300).  She is still driving the car to work everyday.  That said, the car runs good.  Starts every day, stops quick, holds the road nicely and does what she is supposed to.  I just changed the oil a week ago so that is not something you will need to do right away.  In fact there is nothing you should have to do right away other than personalize her as yours.  We just put two new front tires on less than a month ago.  The car is Pa. state & emissions inspected until January 2014.  At the time of inspection, we also replaced the rear sway bar links.  All in all it is a good dependable ride.  The ugliest spot on the car is shown in the photos and it is the cancer developing on the left dog leg.  There are some stone chips on the hood and some scuffs on the rear bumper and deck lid from her perching her bags on it while searching for her keys.  She has promised to take better care of the truck she wants.  Famous last words right?  

Everything works,  The air blows very cold.  She has never liked the stereo even though it works as it is supposed to.  No chips in the glass.  No rattles,  No clunks.  The car is well maintained.  I suspect is you drive it like a normal human being and maintain it, you (if you are the winner)  will get a great deal of good use out of the car. 

I would have traded it in on the new truck but... the dealer offered me a number so far below what he was asking for the same car sitting on his lot that I told him I'd sell it myself.  Now I understand they have overhead and all that but so do I.  

That said.  If you bid please plan to follow thru as our truck deal is hinging on this one.  If you have questions, feel free to ask.  I will get back to you ASAP.  Finally... I do have the car advertised locally which means I reserve the right to end this auction early if someone offers me enough to do so.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
