  1. Second owner - purchased off lease
  2. Mileage (about 193,500) almost all highway to office - NJ Turnpike not terrible roads or bridges etc. You will agree after driving
  3. Oil changed about every 3,000 miles - I have almost all of the receipts to view (not keep due to privacy).  Already have an offer from AAMCO and my mechanic to buy it. 
  4. Newer Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires (From Costo - I think they come with a limited lifetime guarantee on certain adjustements......see Costco for details)

  10. I have not compounded or waxed the SUV in 9 months...it will look better if done
  11. Some small tears in leather front side seat (not top) - very normal for age and not long in length at all (and not growing - so small could probably be glued)

Fantastic in snow.  Good on gas, Still has great power at all speeds.  Wheels are balanced - feels like a newer car at 65 - 80 mph.  Breaks / calipers are round - no pulsating,

••••Transmission shifts normally for first 8 minutes or so then will not shift to 4th gear but shifts down and up otherwise. I am told one of the error codes in the photo is a Knock Sensor and AAMCO indicates about $1,400 of work needed. I cannot confirm if it is a knock sensor for much less, electrical or the AAMCO full price estimate. I do not know if it will pass inspection or not with the codes currently listed -check engine VSC lights stay on. The drive selector light on floor does not work but most other electrical works as expected••••

If you know of a transmission repair person, this could be a great deal for you.  Certainly this SUV is not just a get around town vehicle - it can go long distances.

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept

Sat, Nov 22 2014

"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.
