Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

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.

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
