2002 Ford Explorer Xls V.8 4.6 Fwd on 2040-cars
Columbus, Ohio, United States
Hi there,
I have a 2002 Ford explorer XLS V8 4.6 liter ABS 4 Wheel Drive SUV for sale. I bought it in July of 2012. I bought it knowing it needed, brakes, and an exhaust, and there was a small crack in the window so I got a pretty good deal on it. I decided since I was getting new brakes and an exhaust I had them see if there may be any future problems. They informed be that I would eventually need a rack and pinion so I went ahead and got that fixed too. I got all 6 catalletic converters rebuilt and after rear ending someone in a (thankfully) small slow accident sliding on snow at a stop light the grill and parts of the hood got a little broke up. That I did not fix. It's only cosmetic but there did seem to be a problem with my transmission slipping. So I decided to go ahead and get that all rebuilt also. So most of the engine is either new or rebuilt. The 2 problems left are cosmetic. The dents on the front and the grill, and having to manually open and close the hood. It was my perfect second car for work and to take everyone camping. its got 144,000 miles on it. Not bad for a 12 year old car. Things I love about it: Power: Steering, windows f/b, power mirrors, power LEATHER seats. anit lock breaks tilt wheel privacy tinted back windows cruise control air conditioner in front and back dual air bags 3rd row seating that can be folded down to either sleep in while camping or store groceries luggage roof top racks running boards automatic am/fm radio cassette player CD player Towing capatible Brand new battery I hate to get rid of such a nice car (to me at least) that I took such good care of. I just simply can't afford two cars anymore. So I would like to sell it for $4300.00. (negotiable) I'd consider it in Good condition, but fair because of the cosmetic issues in the front. All the lights and everything work fine it's more of a matter of your personality. I'm not a flashy person and since it was my work and camping SUV it never bothered me enough to pay the $3 or $400 bucks to get the front fixed up if you'd chose to you'd have a pretty perfect car. I, nor anyone else, ever smoked in it. If you'd like to send me your email I can send you lots more pictures. CARFAX for it. I'm off all next week so get ahold of me anytime day or night if you'd like to see it or test drive it. |

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
