Howdy, Folks!  I've had a number of great questions about this Diesel Excursion.  The questions have come from neighbors near and far, inc. Michigan, Ohio, and Florida!  I thought I would share some of the information with you, the Bold Bidders!!  Below are some of our conversations this week:  
 
Greetings!  Thanks for the kind reply and questions.  
re:  Does front heads up display work what does it say what the MPG is? 
Yes!  The front heads up display works, and so does the Back-Up Sensor.
We got about 17 mpg on our 2000+ mile trip last summer on the Interstate, and right now it's reading 13.5 around town.
 
re:  Has it ever been "off- road?"
Based on the essentially scratch- free gorgeous/pearlescent ["Oxford White Clearcoat"]  paint finish, I would have to say 'No.'  I'm not the original owner, but doing a walk-around, I could not even find a door- ding from the grocery store/ Sporting Goods/ or big box Hardware Depot.  Really folks, check the photos... she looks nearly NEW... even the driver's seat is devoid of the traditional 'slide-in/out' wear markings / holes.  Oh... I almost forgot:  I am about 6'2" in my boots and I never see the couple of dents in the top.  Tree branch fell?  Golf ball hit?  It's not bad [no leak, etc] so it was "out of sight, out of mind" for us.
 
re:  In the photo, your Inspection Sticker reads 6/'14.  Any problems?
Fresh Sticker now read good 'till 7/2015!  I put on new wiper blades {just because it was near time for such}... and there was absolutely no problem passing the inspection with the EGR Kit.
 
re:  Will you accept a loan check? 
Of course checks are OK.  Even personal checks... they just might take longer to clear.  If you don't have all the financing lined up already, I've gotten really good help from the folk in CA with https://www.mycccu.com, The Christian Community Credit Union... they have the title for this Excursion right now.
 
re:  Do you have any shippers you have worked with before? 
Yes.  The last buyer was in Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas area, but he was in Med. School in CO and needed a 4x4! The shipper we used was excellent.
 
re:  If I decide to come get it myself how fast would you need it picked up?
You or your bank / credit union can send the check... then I can be flexible as to the pick-up date.
 
re:  Do you have a programmer on truck?
When we installed the EGR Kit, the paper-work said that sometimes the Check Engine light will come on...  sometimes not.  Sure enough, the CEL light came on.  We checked the codes and 'EGR' was the only thing showing.  It is my understanding that one of the beauties of having a diesel is that a person can calibrate one's preferences re: power and engine efficiency.  If we were to keep this rig, I would definitely consider getting an all-in-one tuner/scan tool to calibrate the fuel delivery / airflow improvement for instant power, as well as have the "service technician" diagnostic capabilities with its ability to scan and clear vehicle trouble codes.
 
re:  Does it have rear DVD / rear entertainment system? The Excursion does have a nice Pioneer DVD Player/CD/AM/FM radio receiver w/ motorized flip-out 7-inch wide touch screen unit.
 
As one can see in photo [#9?], there is not a rear DVD screen installed for the rear entertainment system.  This is the way I bought it, so we enjoyed the vehicle that way.  I do have a replacement screen [OEM Ford, but not a great one] but I would rather the new owner determine his/her exact needs and preferences as to the exact rear entertainment video equipment.  [If when taking delivery, you decide that the one I have will suffice, we can pop it in place and secure with the two Phillips screws.]
 
Thanks... we'll chat soon!

Greetings friend,

 

I have received another question about the Reserve price...

If you have a number in mind... feel free to float it by me as we are NEGOTIABLE!

 

Here is how I answered the other Bidder:

 

"Here is how I have it listed locally:

 

NADA Book Value Clean Retail = $19,500

[+ ADD Value for: Custom Rims & Tires,

Pioneer Sound, with CD/DVD

NEW Fluids Change, and

EGR Kit], etc...

 

So my Local Asking Price of $18,750 {...or Best Offer}

I think is a reasonable starting price for negotiations.

My wife is quite motivated to sell this as two of our 4 kids just flew out of the nest.  We've incurred a lot of expenses between two graduations [college and high school, plus one wedding within the past two months...  and more college expenses coming!] 

 

We love this Excursion, but it is harder to get the six of us to travel and vacation as much together anymore.  -And we've yet to tow the boat to the water this year with all the other family events!  -So, our family transitions are to your gain!!

 

Feel free to Leave a Message or Text me at..."

2015 Ford Transit

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.

Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
