I’m currently serving in the US Army. Few months ago I decided to get out with a plan of opening my own business- a limo service. I bought this car from a car dealer who bought on auction from an insurance company. The limo was involved in a car accident. The previous owner claimed a total loss on this car to get his insurance money. After I bought it I sent it to a professional body work shop to fix it. They replaced a front bumper, grille, passanger side front bumper and the front lights. The driver side fender was fixed. The engine was not damaged at all. Even the radiator stayed original. The windshield is cracked and will have to be replaced (since I decided to stay in the Army for couple more years I didn’t want to invest any more money in it. You could probably claim it on your insurance) One of the alternator’s pulley make noise sometimes (especially right after you start the car) so this issue will have to be addressed. Car runs and drives very well although I didn’t drive it for more than 50 miles. Considering the age of this car the mileage on it is very low. In scale from 1 to 5 I’ll give the body- 4, interior-4, leather top cover-5, suspension-4, engine and tranny-5. AC blows cold. The leather seats are in very good condition considering the age. Some of the wood trim inside should be refurbished. The tires will make another few thousand miles but could be replaced in the near future. All the lights work. There is a missing trim above the RR wheel (see the picture). The car was not abused and overall is pretty clean. Some cosmetic issues, typical for this age. Couple of minor scratches (see the pictures). The car is registered and insured. I have a title and it’s a North Caroline salvage rebuilt title. There is no reserve on this auction but the limo is advertised locally as well, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any point of time. The car will be sold as is. It will make a great buy for someone who wants to start a limo service without investing a big money into it. I will sell it internationally but the potential buyer will cover all costs associated with shipping it abroad. If you want to inspect it physically just let me know and we will arrange the meeting. The cost of shipping the car to another State will be covered by the buyer. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about the condition of this car. I will answer them all to the best of my knowledge. Good luck.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016

Thu, Jan 26 2017

Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
