The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale by auction:

2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, with a mileage of 89,806 miles.

The vehicle is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied.  ALL sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is bottom line what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  If the vehicle does not sell, it will either be relisted or sent to a public auction.

Again, the vehicle has 89,806 miles.  There is no major damage or rust on the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings and dents.  The vehicle has power windows, locks, mirrors, trunk release, driver seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (allows you to push switch, take keys out of ignition, and the car will keep running.  The car cannot be put into drive until the keys are placed back in the ignition to prevent theft).  The vehicle also has rear defrost, dome light, interior lighting, spotlight, power adjustable gas pedal, manual tilt steering wheel, AM/FM stereo, spotlight, air conditioning ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.  The vehicle also has cruise control, however, we do not know if it is working, as we did not use it-it probably works.  The vehicle has driver and passenger-side air bags and ABS braking.  The vehicle's two front seats are cloth and in good shape, but dirty.  The rear vinyl seating is brand new/never used.  When the vehicle was a patrol car, we had a molding plastic seat in the rear, which has since been removed.  The vinyl flooring appears to be in good shape, but dirty.  The tires appear to be in good condition.  There are no illuminated warning signals on in the dash indicating any malfunction with the vehicle.  It appears to be running and driving fine.  All lights, lamps, signals, horn, wipers, etc. are all in good working order.

The vehicle, again, shows normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  There was a dent in the passenger-side rear 1/4, which was "hammered out."  There are scratches on the front bumper-passenger side.  The police decals were professionally removed, however, some of the glue is slightly visible.  A good detailing of the vehicle should eliminate the glue.  The top outside of the roof has two plugged holes, which were originally drilled for police equipment (no leaks-professionally plugged).  The inside roof liner has a couple small holes between the driver and passenger seat, which once housed a police camera system.  There is also a very small hole in back of the dome light from equipment.  The hanger clip is missing from the rear passenger side.  Lastly, the vehicle will need a good detailing.  The following reflects the service record for the vehicle for more major items:

Air Bag Jewels, warning lamp and V Belt replaced 051710, A/C Diode and Relay replaced 062210, Water Pump Assembly and Front Braked replaced  091710, Ignition System, Transmission Flush, Fuel Filter all completed 030912, Front/Rear Lower Ball Joints, Transmission, Cooler/Condenser, Front Brakes/Rotors/Pads all replaced 062512, Rear Axle Bearings/Seals, Front/Rear Braked all replaced 100212, Air Bag Jewels/Warning Lamp replaced 110812, Driver Seat Cushion Rebuilt 120612, Transmission Filter, Alignment completed 121912, Cooling Fan Motor/Fan Assembly Fuel Filter, Drive Belt, Transmission Fluid Flush, Fuel Filter Injector Flush all completed 060413, New Tires, Fuel Filter replaced 062713, Vehicle Involved In a Traffic Crash to the Passenger Side Rear Bumper in the Amount of $865.19-MINOR on 081913, Thermostat and Seal replaced 110413, Water Pump, V Belt, and Front Brake Pads replaced 021814.  All routine maintenance and repairs completed on a regular basis by our certified village mechanic, dealership, or outsourced to a professional auto shop.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).

Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
