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.

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket

Fri, Mar 18 2016

If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
