 VIN:1FAFP3430YW335463 

This is a good buy. I have seen these Ford Focus selling for over 4,000 dollars.

 the car is in good running condition.

 PLEASE NOTE: The car fax shows that there is an issue with the odometer and title.

  EXPLANATION: I just bough this car from an old person. The issue that happened with the odometer was a few years ago, I did not own the car then.. I am personally aware that the engine was changed a few months ago for another used engine. The odometer does not show the actual milege on the engine. The issue with the title does not exist anymore, the car is on my name. I got the title at the Motor Vehicle Division. The old person used to pawn his car to get needed money. The pawn shop used to put a lien on the car. But once the loan was paid, the lien would be removed. The prior owner of this car did the same transaction over the years, eveytime he would go back to the pawn show to pay the loan. That is the reason these title issues show on the car fax. The title is clean and on my name now!!!.

THE GOOD

  It passed emissions about 6 months ago. It has a strong engine. The Ford Focus starts, rides and drives fine and is ready to go on the road.The engine was changed for another used engine about 4 months ago. I do not know the actual mileage on the new used engine but the odometer shows 212,500 miles (please remember this is not the actual mileage). The two front tires are in good shape. The car can use new rear tires. This is a smoke free vehicle. The car has very minor dings and scratches.  

THE BAD

The old man that sold it to me told me that:

-Up until 3 weeks ago the A/C was working fine, then it suddenly stopped working. The A/C compressor was changed but then a week later the A/C stopped working again. The mechanic told me it needed the little motor located underneat the dashboard. It costs about $45.00 dollars brand new. If you don't live in Arizona then you do not need the A/C.

 -Just a few days ago a yellow light on the dashboard came on. I took it to the local Auto Zone so that they could connect the computer to the car to do a diagnostic. The car needs the TPS (throttle position sensor) which costs $25.00 dollars brand new. Once changed the light will go away. You can still drive the car throughout the US without changing the TPS.  

 Please remember You are buying the car as is.  I am not a mechanic and I have not taken the car to the shop to be looked over by a professional mechanic.

 You are more than welcome to come over and check the car.

 As the pictures show the exterior color is black and the interior is tan. The interior is very clean. The exterior paint could use a new paint job.

 THE CAR IS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS.

Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging

Tue, Mar 31 2015

The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history

Wed, Jun 1 2016

You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.

Tesla Model S customers in China will receive a "Universal Mobile Charger" with their vehicle. The charger will allow drivers to charge their Tesla anywhere, without having to search out a Supercharger when out in the wild. It allows Model S drivers a bit more freedom and helps alleviate worries about traveling too far from home. It could also help sway potential customers who suffer from range anxiety. The charger will be free to new and existing customers when it becomes available this summer. Read more at Car News China.

Audi plans to give its electric vehicles looks that differentiate them from the rest of the lineup. "In early 2018, we will launch a battery-powered sports activity vehicle in the large premium segment with a range of more than 500 kilometers," says Audi's head of development, Ulrich Hackenberg. "It will have a new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." According to analysts, part of the reason the Toyota Prius was so successful was because it was easy to distinguish from other Toyota models with conventional powertrains.

James Lawler used mostly scraps to build the tiny house – complete with tin roof, chimney, and stained glass window – for just $150 Australian. It took him about a week to finish. Lawler made use of his creation at the Meredith Music Festival so he didn't have to sleep in a tent. He was, however, fined by police for driving the makeshift motorhome.
