La Grange, Illinois, United States

The La Grange, Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale by auction:

2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sedan 4-Door 4.6L with a mileage of 102,483 miles.

This vehicle is surplus property of the Village Of La Grange and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is NO Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO existing warranty, neither express nor implied.  ALL sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is NO reserve on this vehicle-the starting price is bottom line what we will accept for this vehicle-DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER!  If the vehicle does not sell, it will either be relisted or sent to a public auction.

Again, the vehicle has 102,483 original miles.  There is no major damage or rust to the body of the vehicle-just normal wear-n-tear scratches, dings, and dents.  The vehicle has power locks, windows, mirrors, trunk release, power driver's seat lumbar/recline, power cut-off switch (allows you to push the button and take the ignition key out to keep the car running, however, it cannot be placed in drive and stolen), rear defrost, dome light, interior lights, and spotlight ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.  The vehicle also has a manual tilt steering wheel, power adjustable gas pedal, AM/FM Stereo, and air conditioning that is in good working order.  The vehicle is equipped with cruise control, however, we did not use it often and don't know if it still functions (probably works).  The vehicle has driver's-side and passenger-side air bags.  The vehicle's exterior lights, lamps, signals, wipers, defrost, spotlight, etc. are all in good working order.  There are no illuminated lights on in the dash indicating any problems with the vehicle.  The tires are in good condition.  Lastly, all routine and major maintenance was completed by either our village certified mechanic, dealership, or outsourced to other professional shops.

The vehicle shows normal signs of wear-n-tear including scratches, dings, and dents, however, again, there are no major imperfections in the vehicle's body.  The exterior of the vehicle's roof has three small holes that were drilled for a police light bar that was removed.  The holes have since been plugged after the removal of the light bar.  The police decals on the exterior have all been removed, however, some glue is slightly visible.  A good detailing of the vehicle should eliminate the glue marks.  The interior roof liner has a couple of small holes between the front driver's seat and the front passenger seat that once house a police camera (has been removed).  There is also a very small hole in the interior roof liner behind the dome light (barely visible).  The rear vinyl seat is brand new.  When the vehicle was a police vehicle, we had a plastic molded seat in the rear that has since been removed.  The original seat has been placed back in the vehicle.  The front cloth seats are in fair to good condition, but will need to be cleaned.  The vinyl flooring in the vehicle appears to be in good condition.  The vehicle has a slight smell of burning oil, however, there are no visible signs by us (untrained mechanics).  The following reflects the service record on the vehicle for more major repairs/services:

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
