I have a very nice '04 Ranger for auction. I purchased it from a co worker a few months back with VERY light front end damage (see pic). It did blow the airbags but everything was replaced (driver/ pass bags, computer, and seat belts) and the system is properly functioning. She was only going about 25mph on a country road when someone turned in front of her. There was no frame damage and it required only a headlight/ turn signal, grill, bumper, bumper valance, and header panel replacement. It's a good title truck.

It's a 2WD XLT 2 door extended cab with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has ice cold A/C, CD player, tilt/ cruise, and a sliding rear window, crank windows and manual locks.

Mechanical: My co worker was the original owner and I have every receipt for everything done to the truck from the day it was new. Oil changes were every 3-5k miles (some in the 2k miles). The brakes only have a few thousand miles, tires are almost new, a newer ball joint, a new tie rod, and a front end alignment ~500 miles ago are some of the recent work completed. I have all of the work that was done summarized and sorted chronologically in an Excel file if interested. It's a 3.0V6 with a manual transmission with very low 57k miles. It runs well and did 26mpg on a highway trip recently. The leaf spring shackles are rock solid and the frame just has some light surface rust, not swiss cheese like my last Ranger.

Cosmetics: The interior is really clean with very little wear. The previous owner was a non smoker and so am I. It has some scratches and light dings (mostly to the top of the bed sides) but it shines up really well and looks good. It originally had painted bumpers but since the front needed replaced from the accident we replaced the front and back with chrome ones and added a chrome grill. Also, I added some chrome caps to the steel wheels so it looks a little better.

Payment: Deposit of $200 via PayPal within 48 hours of end of auction. Full (cleared) payment is due before shipping. Cash or bank check. It's not in my way, so the pick up date is not critical.

Shipping: I would be happy to ship it at buyers expense after payment is clear. Also, I would be happy to pick up the buyer at the Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) and you can drive it home.

Email me for more info/ pictures or to come take a look. It's also for sale local and I will cancel the auction if it sells locally. Thanks.

Ford hurt by 2015 F-150 production restraints

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The new 2015 Ford F-150 came out of the gate strong for January 2015 with all F-Series sales up 17 percent for the month. However, February tempered those gains a bit with the model line dipping 1.2 percent, and the Ford brand itself dropped 1.7 percent year-over-year. The fall is being blamed in part on tight supply of the latest pickup. A major factor holding back the 2015 F-150 is that they are only currently being made at the Dearborn Truck Plant. The Kansas City factory is still changing over, and full supply from them both is expected by the middle of the year. Ford also just announced plans to hire an extra 1,550 people to build the pickups, including 900 in Kansas City. However, the downtime in the assembly changeover has caused about 90,000 units in lost production since mid-2014, according to The Detroit Free Press. It's not all bad news for the pickup, though. The latest F-150 made up 21 percent of F-Series sales in February, according to The Detroit Free Press, up from 18 percent in the previous month, and they remained on dealer lots an average of 18 days. The lessened supply has also meant lower incentives. Mark LaNeve, Ford's US marketing boss, told the Free Press that average F-150 transaction prices were up $2,000 from last year. He also indicated that retail figures grew seven percent in February, while F-Series fleet numbers were down 18 percent. The constrained supply does come at an inopportune time for Ford, though. This year is expected to be huge for pickups. Also, lower gas prices appear to be pushing people towards SUVs and trucks recently. Related Video:

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

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.
