Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car is in overall good condition with everything working, but has some minor scratches and wear & tear marks consistent with it's age and use. It has never been in an accident, but driver door was repaired due to a tree branch hitting it. Was professionally fixed."

 We bought this car new in June 2006 and have been the only owner of the car.  It's been a great, very practical, reliable and useable car that we really hate to sell.  We are selling it for our business financial reasons, otherwise would have kept it for many more years.  Everything is working on the car, with the battery being replaced in May 2006 and new Pirelli P-4 All season tires were installed in December 2006.  The tires are still under warranty as have only been driven about 10,000 miles with them.  The car has had been serviced regularly according to schedule and we have all service records that you can inspect.  The brakes were replaced recently and are in good condition.  The spare tire has never been used.  This is a very safe 5 star safety rated car.  Both front bucket seats have power adjustments and can be tilted down.  It has AWD all wheel drive which has let it drive it safely through all kinds of weather.

The car can hold up to 6 adults comfortably, with all passenger seats including front passenger seat, able to be folded down flat for a large cargo area.  While car drives great and is in overall good working condition, there are minor scratches around the car's exterior and interior which are consistent with it's age and use.  There is a small rust spot on roof that may have happened from a leak at a parking garage.  We have included photos that show a representation of these.

Please review all of the features and options included with this car.  It's loaded with cup holders and storage space.  The 2nd row bucket seats flip over for easy access to the third row.  There is a good amount of storage area behind the 3rd row of seats.  The transmission is very smooth and car has more than enough power.  Full set of controls on steering wheel, plus one can program from it the information center that also includes the speedometer.  Please note that the listed mileage was as of the listing day.  The actual mileage will vary as car is still being driven.

Please contact seller if you would like to see other photos.  While we feel the starting auction price is very low for this car, we would consider other reasonable offers.  We bought this car new and have been the only owners.  We have met other Ford Freestyle owners over time and all love their car as much as we do.  We consider it Ford's best kept secret as they never seemed to market or push this car.  One reason is that during this time Ford also owned Volvo on whose platform this car was built on.  We feel that they didn't want to steal sales away from Volvo and basically let the car sell itself.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
