I am the 3rd owner of this Dependable daily driver which is currently registered in Connecticut. Runs & drives good with good tires and is fun to drive.

*Extra equipment included; police push bar and mounting hardware, also police chrome wheel center covers, and blacked-out grill, I removed these items when I purchased the car.

This car has an “oxygen sensor not ready" code and will need to be corrected in order to pass a Connecticut emissions test. The Air conditioning was always ice cold until last month, not working now….maybe just needs a recharge. it has dual magnaflow exhaust, sounds great...turns heads! This vehicle has 6227 engine hours. It also has aftermarket plastic wheelcovers and Chrome grill. The drivers spotlight works correctly and illuminates brightly.

This is a former police car, so expect minor scratches and dings, and the ride of a vehicle with 109,000 miles. Please look closely at photos. Please note car will NOT come with the Scanner/speaker or trunk antenna. The drivers seat does not adjust forward & back, it is in a fixed position. There apparently used to be an emergency light on the dash so there is 4"x4" glue mark. the roof had a GPS and lightbar, so there are two sealed holes, see photos, they do NOT leak. There is NO spare tire.

I have owned this car for two years...but I need to sell it to get $ for kids upcoming college expenses!

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
