This is a great little car and the winner of the auction will be very happy.  I am selling it for a friend that is very ill, and won't be driving any time soon.  He bought it brand new here in Los Angeles, and has loved and taken care of it since.  NO stories or excuses, just a really nice car.  It looks nice, and drives tight and right.  Amazing for 150K miles.  Feels more like 80K miles.  It's rated at 33 mpg, I can tell because the original window sticker is still in the car.  MSRP was $14,450.  It has the optional power group that gives power windows, alarm, power locks and power mirrors.  It also has the premium group that gives 16" wheels, courtesy lighting,  cruise control, tilt wheel and front seat armrest.  The owners manual is in the glove box.
Low BlueBook is $2150 and Retail BlueBook is $3650.   On a car lot, it would sell for $3995 easily.   It should auction for just under retail book in this market and gas prices.  No Reserve, so we will let the market set the price.
I just drove the car over 50 miles and it ran great.  He just had several things serviced in the last 4 months for over $1000.  I think it was a new clutch and other items.  The clutch feels perfect.  I will add the list of services, when I can reach the owner in the hospital.  A/C blows cold, oil is clean and everything I tried worked properly.  The tires are about 50-60% remaining and wearing evenly.  It just passed a smog check, and I have the certificate for you.  The California registration is good until April 2014.
There are a few small scrapes on the rear bumper (see pictures), and very little sand damage to the front bumper and hood.  Pretty minor for the miles I think.  I just had the car detailed, so it's ready to drive away, or give as a gift to someone special.
Please follow my deposit instructions within 48 hours, and pick the car up within 7 days.  Failure to follow these and I will file for resolution.  I like the auction process, so please don't ask me to end it early for you.  Please don't bid if you are not going to buy the car.
My guarantee:  If you don't like the car after winning the auction, making the deposit, and driving it, you don't have to buy it, but you do lose your $250 deposit.  I never try to force a sale.  I have the car available in Thousand Oaks if you want to check it out before bidding.  You can see it at 7 Duesenberg Dr., Thousand Oaks, CA.  Email me for an appointment. Yes, I am a car dealer, but this is just a private party sale for a friend in need.  Paperwork will be from him to you.  Clear title in hand.

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
