Today I'm selling my 1998 ford explorer. This car has had regular oil changes every 3000 miles. She uses full synthetic motor oil and has been for the last 100,000 miles. 3 owner vehicle, 2 of which being my father (ASE certified master mechanic who has helped me with all of the service) and myself. whenever this truck needed anything it got it right away and has always been a VERY reliable vehicle. transmission was rebuilt 15,000 miles ago and is very smooth and strong. Everything works except the A/C, but that is due to a broken blendor motor that i have brand new and just have not put in yet due to my recent shoulder surgery. She does amazing in the snow. the air suspension (sloppy and very bouncy) has all been swapped out to steel shocks and springs (upgraded and heavier duty shocks and springs than the stock ones). The entire front end has been replaced including the control arms, sway bar links, torsion bars, ball joints (upper and lower), tie rod ends and tie rods, and the front shocks (as mentioned before. Rear end had leaf springs and schackles replaced, as well as the rear shocks. the grille was painted and color coated to the car to match. pinstripes were removed and replaced by the slightly yet subtly more aggressive black and silver stripes (which were also added along the lines of the hood as you can see in the picture. front seats are the only things that really show the age of the car, all power buttons on both seats work, they just have your typical wear and creasing (NO TEARS THOUGH). alternator was also replaced as well as the thermostat. tires are still good with lots of life left. 7k tow hitch on the back. very minor scratches on the front from 16 years of driving. reliable turn key car that has made the drive to new hampshire and back several times with no issues, contact me with any further questions

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.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
