The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition was a beauty in its day and still has a lot of miles left. Leather seats. Sunroof. Body in good condition. Interior in fair condition. Paint is faded by weather in some places but overall is good. This vehicle has normal dings and scratches like any car its age. The interior has a few minor cracks and blemishes. The driver's side rear door will not open at all. At higher speeds the front end shakes a little. Probably needs alignment work. Radio antenna is broken, so radio will only pick up one station, but does work. Engine shows normal wear and tear typical of a vehicle this age, but still runs strong. I've had this Explorer for 3 years and have had ZERO mechanical issues with it. Very dependable. This would make a great student or work car. This car is being sold "as is". I'm trying to list all the flaws here. It is certainly not a "new" vehicle, but it has been a good one."

Smoke-free car.  This car was used by my wife to go back and forth to work.  It was very carefully maintained.  In 3 years we had NO mechanical issues.  Interior in reasonably good condition.  Large cargo area in the rear.  Nice sunroof.  


Various flaws:  Rear driver door will not open at all.  Passenger front window will not roll down at all.  Will need tires within 5000 miles or so.  Radio antenna broken, but sound system does work.  Paint has weather wear in places, but mostly good.  Cruise controls cracked (on steering wheel), but still work.  Electric door locks sometimes stick, but always open after a couple of clicks on the remote.  Engine has 180000 miles on it, but still dependable.  Front end shakes a little at higher speeds (over 60).  Never had it checked out.  It was like that when I bought it and have had no problems in spite of it.  Normal dings and scratches for a car this age and mileage.  Driver seat has some cracks in the seat, but not bad.

NADA values at $2500.  Kelly Blue Book at $2504 for "fair" condition.  It's at least a fair condition.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.
