I will be a lot more honest about this vehicle then the previous seller was with me. I purchased this vehicle with the intention of fixing and using for regular towing, but vehicle needs more work/investment then I am willing to put into it. I do have clear title in hand.
The vehicle does run and can be driven for short distance, but I suggest towing or trailering it to your location if you are going to take it out of town. I have only owned for a short period of time, but will share what I know and what I was told by previous owner. Vehicle appears to have a strong running engine and transmission shifts fine. All power options work (did not test heated mirrors but was told they do) and I have tested them all, including the self leveling air suspension and cd changer. Vehicle has 4WD, AWD, and 2WD options and was told all worked, but honestly have only driven it in 2WD mode. I see no reason why they would not work. As a result this vehicle would make an excellent parts vehicle if you need to replace or repair something on current Expedition. There is a tear in the side of the driver's seat in the leather (see pics), but besides that the interior leather is in great shape. Has a K & N style filter and chrome air intake (see pics).
The hood is delaminating (see pics) and there are various nicks, scratches, etc. on paint.
If you want to restore this to a running vehicle for use then please see what is wrong with vehicle below. I have listed everything and noted what can be bypassed and still drive the vehicle.
The BAD:
Original listing had wheel wobble when driven - needs front idler arm and ball joints and an alignment to correct completely.
Grinding noise when driving - front calipers were replaced recently by previous owner but done incorrectly so they need to be removed and reinstalled or possibly replaced.
Master cylinder was replaced by previous owner, but is bad and needs to be swapped out again. As a result it can cause brake pressure when brakes are not depressed, so if driving and it engages it will feel like it is dragging and can smell brake burning, so this is why I do not suggest driving more than short distance. This and the calipers being on incorrectly could continue to cause more damage if continually driven.
I have estimates from local shop for all of the above repairs if interested - please contact me.
I was told shifter arrow did not line up, but in reality the column shifter also has to be played with to shift from gear to gear and is hard to get into park. That combined with the arrow not lining up makes you have to feel what position you are in when you shift. Vehicle can be driven with this unrepaired and not sure how much it will cost to repair. I was able to figure it out with no issues after driving only a couple of times, but it is going to be annoying if you plan to drive it regularly.
Was told it had exhaust leak by previous owner and found that one of the bolts attaching the exhaust to the manifold broke off and was clamped back to together. This would involve redrilling or replacing manifold to correct completely. Also exhaust hangers appear to be missing and is held by wire (see pics). I did not inspect exhaust further than that.
Vehicle has been done South, but according to car history it spent time in New York. As a result, the rear undercarriage is severely rusted and the rear trailing arms need to be replaced if planning on driving the vehicle. One actually has rusted part way through (see pic). I don't suggest driving vehicle for more than short time before repairing if not parting it out.
If you have any other questions about vehicle that I have not addressed in listing or pictures, please contact me.
Payment of $500 deposit through Paypal required within 48 hours of listing end. Remaining payment within 7 days in full unless other arrangements are made with me prior.
If you wish to pay entire amount through Paypal/Bill Me Later, please contact me before making offer or clicking Buy It Now.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Hot Wheels' 2022 Green Speed cars bring EVs to small scale
Sun, Apr 24 2022With more and more EVs hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before the new breed of cars would find representation in diecast form. For 2022, Hot Wheels is coming out with a new Green Speed series that puts the spotlight on a diverse lineup of electric cars. The five-car series features a fun mix of EVs from different manufacturers and in a wide range of styles. Some are completely bone stock. For a traditional luxury sedan, there's a Lucid Air in silver, complete with glass (or in this case, clear plastic) canopy. For fans of Teutonic 4-door "coupes" there's the Audi RS e-Tron GT in Daytona Gray. Ticking the truck box is a Hummer EV in a yellow that can only be described as a throwback to the H3. But because this is Hot Wheels, there are "hot-rodded" variants in the lineup as well. Rather than just a regular Nissan Leaf, they've elected to cast the carbon fiber-bodied NISMO RC 2.0 race car. Likewise with Ford, instead of the standard Mustang Mach-E, they've gone with the Mustang Mach-E 1400 drift car. This isn't the first time Hot Wheels has put out a Green Speed series. The line debuted in 2016 but reflected the limited EV choices in the real car market at the time. The only non-fantasy cars in the series were a first-gen Tesla Roadster, a Tesla Model S, and Chevy Volt. Hot Wheels revisited the line again in 2019, this time adding a Tesla Model 3 and a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Hot Wheels also makes other mini EVs that don't fall into this specific line of models. If you want to collect 'em all, there's the second-generation Tesla Roadster concept, Cybertruck, Jaguar I-Pace, Pininfarina Battista, Porsche Taycan, and a Volkswagen ID R. Similarly, Matchbox has released a version of the Tesla Roadster with sustainable packaging to boot. If you must have an old school gasoline burner, Hot Wheels has plenty of options for you too, like, say, this snazzy FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2022 Hot Wheels Green Speed series should be on shelves at your local retailers now. Related Video:
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
