Up for sale is my 1996 Ford Probe GT. It has a 2.5L DOHC V6 engine with 95k miles on it. The transmission is a 5-speed manual. It is a two door coupe that seats four. Everything on the car is stock except for the air intake and the sound system/speakers. I am only the second owner in the car's history, have had it for about 4 years and have put about 10k miles on it. The car's title is clean and I have it in hand.

The good:
-Less than 100k original miles is great for a car almost 20 years old
-Interior is in good shape, there are a couple of cosmetic problems but it has seat covers that match on the front two seats
-Brand new interstate battery with a 5 year manufacturers warranty (Feb, '14)
-Aftermarket kenwood sound system: cd/radio/aux input single din deck with four kenwood speakers
-full engine tune up when I bought it: timing belt, spark plugs, system fluids flush
-regular oil changes since I have owned it
-10% tint on all windows except the windshield
-All power options on the car work: sunroof, windows and locks, side view mirrors, cruise control, and even the remote locks. I have the original set of keys (key and key fob) along with a spare key
-Brand New rain-x windshield wipers
-Full detail including the engine bay
-Smoke-free environment

The bad:
-tires are at about 25% tread and will need replacing soon
-trunk struts are broken so the hatch does not stay open on its own
-one headlight motor is broken so it won't flip down, however both lights work when the headlights are turned on
-the steering is a little off and it probably needs an alignment
-it has California plates with expired tags

Overall, this is a good car. The car has treated me well over the years and I will be sad to see it go. Its a perfect first car. For all the parents out there, consider that its a manual transmission, so you have to drive with two feet and two hands most of the time so you're not gonna be using a cell phone while driving. It also has an aux input so you can play Pandora through the car's speakers!

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
