Vehicle mileage is 133,432 at the time of listing but will increase slightly as I use this vehicle to commute 60 miles round trip to work. The tires were purchase from Discount Tire at 124,798 miles. Discount Tires receipt shows these tires to be a 45,000 mile tire. The mileage warranty is not transferable to additional owners however, the road hazard, tire workmanship and rotate and balance appears to be transferable according to the receipt. This warranty on the tires will expire August 5, 2014. The battery is about 3 months old. The rear axle was replaced in August of 2011. The mechanic said the axle came off of a Vic with about 75,000 miles. There is a hole on the seat back of the drivers seat. The interior is in decent shape for a used police vehicle. I purchased the car from the City of San Marcos, Texas in August 2011. I have primarily used the car for stationary security work where it was imperative to have a car that could idle for extended periods and not have overheating issues. It has served its purpose well but I am doing much less of this work now and need the money to put into another vehicle. The AC and heater both work very well. There is a spot light on the drivers side that does not work and is loose. The passenger side has the stem for a spot light but neither the light not the handle is present. The front seats are clothe. The rear seats are vinyl. Both front seat belts work. The rear seat belts do not have the female buckle receiver attached so you would need to purchase them if you need to carry passengers in the rear seat. The headliner is in good shape and is not sagging at all. There is not a working dome light. All headlights, tail lights, brakes lights, turn signals work. The headlights do seem to be aimed down too much but the high beams offer enough light for night driving. The floor of the interior is plastic. I have two carpet mats in the front floorboards. There are several holes in the dash from San Marcos mounting police equipment. The front push bumper has the flat black paint flaking off. The hood has about a 6" by 10" area flaking the white clear coat off. The roof of the car has some paint starting to peel next to the mounted GPS antenna that was left by SMPD. There are four mounts from the low jack locator system antennas on the roof. The trunk has the mount for a radio antenna. There are NO leaking issues where the mounts are on the roof and trunk. The check engine light is currently on and I will try to remedy that this week. The belt is squeezing badly also so I will try to remedy that this week also. I will post an update when these two issues are resolved. There is a popping noise in the steering when I cut the wheel all the way to the left or right at low speeds. I do not know what this sound is.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
