1998 Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition
The SUV has 135,250 highway miles as of listing date. (Millage will go up because this vehicle is currently my daily driver.) It has been maintained VERY well by previous owner and myself. The previous owner purchased service manual (included with sale) and kept up to date on all service intervals. I too kept up all maintenance as well. New spark plugs! I did oil changes every 3k miles. Just serviced by my mechanic last week. Brand new abs sensor, u-joint, control arms as per his recommendation. Ready for the winter! It has the 5.4L V8. It is the Eddie Bauer Edition but the originally gold trim has been painted black to match the aftermarket black rims. The condition of the vehicle has been clearly described to the best of my ability in the "condition description" provided in this auction: "The expedition starts up, runs, drives, and stops great as it should. Exterior is very clean, original paint still shines and looks great. There are a few scratches throughout and a small dent at the rear passenger side of the vehicle. The interior is very clean with original floor mats in place since new. The driver's seat is torn up a bit but completely useable. There is a small plastic ring missing from the overdrive button on the gear shifter, however it still works fine and only effects cosmetics. "CHECK SUSP" light is only dash light on... One speaker for the radio does not work, it will "buzz" on occasion, I was told it is blown. The tires all have good tread and are all 33" in diameter, however the rear's brand do not match each other and are also different from the front set. All four tires have an equally aggressive tread so they do make a "humming" noise while driving at higher speeds, which is expected. Lastly, the 4x4 electronically engages and disengages as it should." Didn't have room to write but the "CHECK SUSP" (or check suspension light) is on only because this vehicle has been converted from air bag suspension to coil over suspension by the previous owner. Code is showing because the plugs to the airbags have been since disconnected. Suspension works great just as it should with the newer lower maintenance coil over suspension. I would strongly suggest looking at the vehicle in person before bidding because the vehicle is sold AS IS with NO WARRANTY. I reserve the right to end auction early because the vehicle is also for sale locally. It is a sharp looking SUV, I always keep it clean, and very frequently do I get comments about it from complete strangers. It is not perfect but personally, I have yet to see a cleaner 1998 Expedition. The only reason why I am selling it is because I need a pick up truck for work. Any questions or picture requests feel free to email call or text. Thank you -Phil Cell# (203) 2 1 9 - 6 6 1 0 |

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico
Fri, Nov 18 2016President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.
