Condition: UsedA 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.Seller Notes:"Heavy-duty, factory small starts and runs perfectly, transmission lazy into reverse (Ford repaired this before) but runs and shifts fine. A/C cold. Front hubs, water pump, all brake-pads and rotors have been changed. Windshield has a single vertical crack exactly in the middle from top to bottom (I washed the windshield with cold water on a very hot day, oops) it's been that way for years. Small wear spot on the drivers side floor mat at the gas pedal. One rear seat removable headrest was bitten into by the dog. Tires only fair, should be changed. Remote starter with 2 remotes included. Factory hood is aluminum and they nearly all need repaint, was done, but clearcoat on hood should be colour-sanded to remove a few runs. I've always used 100% synthetic oil, and changed oil and filter regularly. Vehicle was imported from the USA, There were just a couple tiny areas of surface rust that were repainted, but no perforation"

This vehicle was purchased used in the USA, and imported into Canada, and registered with the Canadian Registrar of Vehicles, and has the official sticker on the driver's side door. DRL module installed, and works perfectly.

The vehicle is a heavy-duty model, with a small factory lift, which permits easy installation of somewhat bigger tires, should that be desired. The current tires are in only fair, and should be replaced.

Paint: the hoods on these vehicles are made of aluminum, and although never rust, they often have some corrosion, which has been repainted, but the clear-coat has a few runs on the hood only, and could be removed and re-polished. Otherwise there was only a few very tiny areas of surface rust on a fender, about 3 cm in diameter, and a little on the door sills, both sides of the front doors, but NO perforations! Only a little surface rust, that was repainted. Factory steel wheels have been repainted recently. There is a small dent, measuring about 5" (12 cm) on the passenger fender (picture included)

The vehicle was brought into the Ford dealer for a 'lazy shift into Reverse' condition, and was never truly a satisfactory repair - apparently these transmissions are known for this condition, and this is really the only existing defect, although we drive it this way now for years, without incident. It just takes a second or two to shift into reverse, but otherwise the vehicle runs and drives exceedingly well.

The windshield has a single crack, in the center, running from top to bottom, which was entirely my fault, from washing it with very cold water on a very hot day! The crack has been there for a couple years, and is not too visible. The tailgate glass is perfect, but the panel below has a little crack (ALL Ford Explorers in these years have this crack!!)

There is a small lower plastic grille, just below the main front grille, that is missing.

The vehicle has a towing package, with the big 2" receiver, but we have only towed a utility trailer 4' x 8' with it a few times to bring stuff to the recycling depot.

One of the rear seat removable headrests was chewed on by the dog.

The drivers side removable floor mat has a wear spot about and inch (3 cm) in diameter.

Vehicle has a remote starter and 2 remotes are included.

Maintenance: always on 100% synthetic oil, and changed regularly with the filter each time. (has just been changed again)

Brakes: rotors and pads all changed and are in good shape. Stops well, no vibration or grabbing. ABS works (especially evident in snow).

Always starts and runs well, a/c is fine. Front hubs have both been changed, as well as water-pump. One of the rear tail-lights has a tiny crack, but a spare set is available and can be included. A virtually new set of tires, smaller than the current ones is available and they are certified as snow tires (with the 'mountains' on the side-walls)

All in all, a very solid car that always starts and runs well.

Test drive and/or additional pictures upon request.

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
