Please read all of description! I have a very detailed description so all bidders including out of state buyers have a fair shot at buying with confidence. Must sell this week. NO RESERVE   I am selling my 1996 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2 door pickup truck. It has been in our family for at least 5 years. I bought it from my father in law. I used it as a 2nd vehicle until my daughter needed a vehicle. She drove it her last 2 years in college. She got a new car upon graduating college, so I got my truck back again. It has been great to have around. From hauling trash,picking up lumber or what ever, it served its purpose. I bought a full sized 4x4 4door truck so we have decided to sell it. I will describe it as well as I can. 

It still has a lot of life left. I hate to sell it because it's always handy to have a truck around that your not worried about getting a door ding or a scratch on. I just can't justify having 2 trucks. Keep in mind this truck is 18 years old. It's not without any issues. If you are looking for a show truck or one with no issues keep looking, but if you want a truck that will get you from point a to point b and still have a decent look to it without breaking the budget this may work for you. Perfect for a construction worker, a young person that wants a truck with good bones that they can make their own or a reliable truck just to have around. 

The Good: V6 automatic, xtra cab, power equipment-still works! Alloy wheels,decent tires, A/C is cold,stereo works well. Body in good shape, no rust or damage. Bucket seats no rips or tears. New battery, New windshield (replaced because of rock chip that spread)

The not so good:  check engine light and abs light come on periodically. (Has done it since day 1) Doesn't affect the drivability so I never addressed it. Headliner material has splits in several places. The black and white plastic controls on the steering wheel have come off over time. The cruise control still works though. The top surface,(paint) mainly the hood is getting that crow feet look. If you're 5 feet away it looks great. There are scratches here and there, the largest one on the drivers side. Nothing you wouldn't expect a truck over 15 years old to have. The speedometer works fine. The odometer does not. I am selling it to have true miles unknown. I do not know when it stopped working all together. We would change the oil and filter every 4 months. We didn't put very many miles on it so we serviced it based on time. 

I am putting the truck up for auction at No Reserve. Bid to win!  I am marketing the vehicle locally for $3500. If you want to buy it now for that price I reserve the right to end the auction early. I need to sell it in the next week so act quickly. Good luck and thanks for bidding.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
