Here's the deal with the van. I like to buy cars, selling not so much. It's fun to have a different car often and hunt a for a deal. I bought this vehicle on eBay last year. I paid $3050 for it November 2013. 

Buying cars this way means I almost never have any service records or history to them. This van is no exception. From the basic looks of it it has been maintained, interior and exterior very clean for the age and mileage of the vehicle. Does has some rust on some lower points as noted in the pictures, certainly not as bad as some I have seen or even owned. (Had a 1995 E350)

All I can do is show you pictures of the van and tell you about my time with it. I've driven it around 3000 miles (it's a second vehicle), towed 1500 pounds of scrap metal, and camped in for a couple nights. When you take out the rear bench I have a perfect sized mattress that fits in there. It makes camping out very comfortable.

I've changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter, and replaced the cylinder five ignition coil (had a slight hesitation). That's all I've needed to do for maintenance in the time I've had it. Drives great, shifts great.

So as with any vehicle that's 12 years old it's got some quirks. 
1. Wheel weights have come off the right front wheel, no problem around town but around 70+mph on the highway you get a little shake.
2. Rear door handle is missing one nut/bolt combo, still works fine. 
3. Side door doesn't always unlock with the power locks, something is rattling in the door, this was like it when I bought the van.
4. Outside temp / compass display (overhead) is not working.

The rest is evident with the pictures, a couple dents in the rear bumper, the small sections of rust, and the tiny split in the driver's side front seat.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a Ford Focus? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max. And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford is preparing to roll out a new version.
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
