You are bidding on: 2005 Mustang with 4.0L V6. I am selling on behalf of current owner that now needs a larger vehicle for a growing family. This is your opportunity to purchase a great looking, great performing Mustang at a price much lower than your local dealer or Kelley Blue Book value. Vehicle has passed annual NC state inspection, and is ready for a new owner. Mustang is sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle will also be listed for sale locally. However, once bids are received for this no reserve auction you are bidding to win. Please review the entire review of Mustang listed below in BOLD prior to bidding. Bidders with no prior feedback on eBay must contact before bidding, otherwise your bid will be removed.

I've purchased several vehicles through eBay Motors, and realize how important an accurate description is when buying/selling a vehicle online. Although most vehicle purchase transactions have exceeded my expectations, there are unfortunately some sellers that will over promise, and under deliver.

My objective is the opposite: to provide you with factual, non-biased information, and assist you throughout the purchasing process to ensure your new vehicle is equal to, or even better than your expectations. The review of the Mustang may be lengthy, but I want to give you as much information as possible. Inspections are encouraged, test drives are welcome, and I am available via e-mail or phone to answer any questions you may have. If local inspection or test drive isn't an option for you, I can provide a video of component of the vehicle you're interested in upon request.

I've had the opportunity to drive this Mustang several times recently. Not only is it a good looking vehicle, it is also enjoyable to drive and reliable. I am impressed with the strong suspension, tight steering, and smooth engine. This Mustang delivers surprising performance alongside great gas mileage. Oil and filter were just changed, and there are no known mechanical issues. The current owner is the 3rd owner of the vehicle, and the majority of the miles are highway miles. This vehicle shows no signs of abuse. The factory paint still shines, and the interior is definitely well above average condition. This Mustang is a great daily driver, or perfect for fun on the weekend.

Cranks right up. Smooth idle. Engine is quiet. No knocks or strange noises. Steering is tight, suspension is firm. Accelerates smoothly with available V6 power, brakes with force. Tires have at least 50% tread left. (see pictures) All lights, knobs, buttons, and levers function as they should. AC blows ice cold, heat is scorching hot. 6 Disc CD/MP3/AM/FM stereo functions with no blown speakers. Wipers were just replaced, defrost function is impressively quick. Paint is overall in above average condition. Power options include: windows, side view mirrors, drivers seat, door locks. Keyless entry, with both remotes are included.

There are the typical minor rock chips/dings that come with a pre-owned vehicle. This car is beautiful overall, and only upon close inspection will the imperfections found with any pre-owned vehicle become apparent.

There are dents and scratches on the drivers side rear corner. (see photo)

There are scratches on the drivers side front bumper, and an amateur attempt to touch up a rock chip on the drivers side of hood. (see photo)

The (3) of the premium wheels are in good shape, (1) has significant curb rash, (see photo)

There is a dent/scratch below Mustang graphic on passenger side. This looks like it happened in a parking lot, and is only noticeable when very close to vehicle. (see photo)

There are some scuffs where the rear bumper meets the trunk that appear to have occurred from loading/unloading. (see photos) These should buff out, but I have not attempted to do so.

The tachometer is not functioning. All other gauges are functioning properly. After doing some research online, this appears to be a common issue with 2005 Mustangs. As this car is equipped with automatic transmission, this does not effect daily use or performance. Nor does it in anyway impact any other mechanical component of the vehicle. However, in an effort to provide full disclosure, I want all potential bidders to be aware of anything I've noticed that isn't perfect.

There is water on the ground around the perimeter of the vehicle in some pictures as it was washed prior to photos, but there are no fluid leaks that I've observed.

This Mustang has NOT been professionally detailed. Took the vehicle through a carwash prior to taking photos today. It cleans up well, and will look even sharper after waxing. A speed buffer and touch up paint would make this car look close to showroom new, but I will leave that up to the new owner. I did not clean the engine off prior to posting, so that you have the opportunity to see what it looks like as-is. Usually, an engine that has been pressure washed or greased up is hiding something. If there is any information you are interested in that I forgot to list, please contact me and I'll be glad to assist you.

Note: As this car is still being driven, mileage will continue to increase. If exact mileage is important to you, please contact before bidding, and I will provide photo of odometer.

Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. Or, you may pick the vehicle up in person. I will be available to coordinate with your shipper.

Deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end, and is non-refundable. Once payment in full is received, Mustang will be released for shipping or local pick-up. Title and bill of sale will be shipped via UPS with tracking number if vehicle is shipped, or executed in person if you prefer local pickup.

PayPal, Cash, and Bank Certified cashiers check are accepted methods of payment. Please keep in mind that with Paypal or Certified check options, there will be a waiting period until payment clears before vehicle is released.

Again, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I look forward to assisting you.

Thanks for reading, and good luck bidding!

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
