This beauty has been good to us and we have treated it well, but we are moving to England (US Navy) and can't take it with us. Come get it at $11,500, more than $500 under the Blue Book value!
*Zip past anything (0-60 in less than nine seconds) and tow 7,300 pounds with a 292 hp 4.6L 24-valve SOHC V-8 driven by an electronically-controlled six-speed automatic transmission. *Protect your family with front-seat side airbags, dual-stage front airbags, an adaptive steering column to reduce intrusion in a front-end collision, adaptive airbag venting, driver-seat position sensors, and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. *Fit anything in the back with fold-down second-row seats. I just moved an entire loveseat! *Don't worry about snow and ice next winter, the 4x4 Auto with Ford's Control Trac AWD system will get you there safely. *Show off your leather seats and wood trim. *Smoke-free its entire life. The one flaw in this diamond is the third-row seats. They need the lift arms replaced. Phil Long Ford priced the labor at $208, and you can get both arms for around $450 total online. That's $658 in repairs. Blue Book on this car without the repair issue is $12,625. I'll offer it for $11,500. If you don't need the third row right now, save the money and fix it later - you're getting a great SUV. If you do need the seating, you're still $500 under the private party value for Blue Book and I'll help you order the arms. If you bought it from a dealer, Blue Book says it would cost $2700 more than my price. You won't find a recent model with mileage or a price this low - feel free to check Autotrader. Thank you for considering it. |

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches
Tue, 11 Feb 2014The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
