Not a bad van, a good van with a lot of miles - being sold as is/where is. 4 Captain seats, the full couch seat in back pulls down to a bed. With almost 200K miles this work horse has a few issues. I bought the van over two years ago as a transitional vehicle - I've transitioned to my next van. Changed the oil regularly with additive. Lots of dings, a couple small dents, a few small rust spots and starting to leak a bit of oil. The check engine light is on, said to be an emissions sensor by two service garages - and not worth fixing. The airbag light comes on intermittently ( I put a new clockspring in when I bought it - not sure if that's the cause of that airbag light), and the service brake lights will come on every once in a while, however the brakes are good and probably have another 20K plus miles on them. Transmission seems good, but sometimes has a few second pause engaging from reverse to drive. Cruise works, AC works some times, power windows all work. There is a (roughly 12") crack in the windshield that happened with a road rock last spring. I stopped it with a window patch kit and it hasn't advanced in over a year - made it through a Chicagoland winter. The secondary doors on both the side and rear have broken cable stops on the handles, so you have to pull the cables to get them open. Just never bothered to fix them. Missing one hub cap. Carpet has stains and wear, interior has wear - but the vehicle doesn't smell like ick. Rubber is pretty good (see pictures) and all the exterior lights work to the best of my knowledge. If I think of anything else positive or negative - I will add it here right away.

I have attached numerous pictures and have a walk around video, which includes start up and engine running - I will send you that video if you ask. The engine runs smooth..

You can visit the vehicle in North Lake County Illinois area - just ask. $100 deposit on PayPal within 12 hours of winning bid. Cash balance or bank check at pick up.

You can drive it home, and with some TLC this beast will go another 100K miles.

This vehicle is listed locally - so I reserve the right to end the listing without notice.

THIS IS A SIX CYLINDER - MY MISTAKE IN DESCRIPTION ENTRY!! I spoke with Ebay and since there is a bid on the item the only way I can change the description is by canceling and relisting the item, which I may do later today.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.

Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression

Tue, May 6 2014

It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.
