Lowell, Massachusetts, United States

Hello and thanks for looking at my auction. I feel compelled to address some rather unpleasant feedback I got a while back. I have bought and sold cars from time to time, not as a business, but really as am enthusiast (back home in the UK) and below you will see some of the usual feedback I have received. I sold an Alfa and received the first negative comment from someone who put all funds in paypal, I credited back and he was going to pay cash, then tried to lower the price. I sold it to someone else, who after a month decided he didn't like it and wanted his money back, when I pointed out that it is not the way eBay works, negative feedback left. I was quite upset by this. A lovely person to deal with, a lovely car, thank you. Just what I was after. I know where to go for Alfa advise now :) great guy, very genuine, would highly recommend, sells whats on the tin A+++++ super nice guy,,fantastic transaction,great car very happy,,big A+ cheers mick Exactly as advert described, brilliant car, thanks. A+++ A beautiful car and a fantastic seller, a pleasure..Thankyou A++++++++ OK enough of that and on to the car. Its a fairly low mileage example and the last owner had it for 3 years, prior to that it was in AZ which probably goes some way to explaining how the lacquer has suffered so badly, but on the other side of that coin, why like so many it has not rotted. I am here visiting family for an extended 3 month trip and bought the car to use rather than renting, now that I am returning to the UK at the end of the month, it is time to sell. So to get what I see as the negatives out the way, let me detail those, the lacquer as mentioned, its a bit clunky over bumps and one tyre needs replacing, but I will do that. The a/c is not blowing cold so I dare say a charge is needed. Its a no frills cheap and cheerful car, which is exactly why I bought it, someone could make it really nice or someone could do what I am doing, and simply driving it as it is. The windows and power sunroof all work, as does the aerial and drivers seat. Cruise control is fitted and that works just fine too. The leather is in good order, and the mats while needing a very good clean, are original SHO mats. Factory fitted dual exhaust and factory chrome wheels. The Yamaha engine is quite something to behold, and I was advised by the seller that the cams have been welded, apparently an important issue with these cars, but I have nothing to show it was done, so all you are getting from me too is word of mouth. Gets out of its own way for a family sedan. If I were staying, I would probably give it a Maco special and enjoy it. Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. **Note** I have just noticed some of these photo's are appalling, I will post more tomorrow, apologies. |

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
