This is a great little car and the winner of the auction will be very happy.  I am selling it for a friend that is very ill, and won't be driving any time soon.  He bought it brand new here in Los Angeles, and has loved and taken care of it since.  NO stories or excuses, just a really nice car.  It looks nice, and drives tight and right.  Amazing for 150K miles.  Feels more like 80K miles.  It's rated at 33 mpg, I can tell because the original window sticker is still in the car.  MSRP was $14,450.  It has the optional power group that gives power windows, alarm, power locks and power mirrors.  It also has the premium group that gives 16" wheels, courtesy lighting,  cruise control, tilt wheel and front seat armrest.  The owners manual is in the glove box.
Low BlueBook is $2150 and Retail BlueBook is $3650.   On a car lot, it would sell for $3995 easily.   It should auction for just under retail book in this market and gas prices.  No Reserve, so we will let the market set the price.
I just drove the car over 50 miles and it ran great.  He just had several things serviced in the last 4 months for over $1000.  I think it was a new clutch and other items.  The clutch feels perfect.  I will add the list of services, when I can reach the owner in the hospital.  A/C blows cold, oil is clean and everything I tried worked properly.  The tires are about 50-60% remaining and wearing evenly.  It just passed a smog check, and I have the certificate for you.  The California registration is good until April 2014.
There are a few small scrapes on the rear bumper (see pictures), and very little sand damage to the front bumper and hood.  Pretty minor for the miles I think.  I just had the car detailed, so it's ready to drive away, or give as a gift to someone special.
Please follow my deposit instructions within 48 hours, and pick the car up within 7 days.  Failure to follow these and I will file for resolution.  I like the auction process, so please don't ask me to end it early for you.  Please don't bid if you are not going to buy the car.
My guarantee:  If you don't like the car after winning the auction, making the deposit, and driving it, you don't have to buy it, but you do lose your $250 deposit.  I never try to force a sale.  I have the car available in Thousand Oaks if you want to check it out before bidding.  You can see it at 7 Duesenberg Dr., Thousand Oaks, CA.  Email me for an appointment. Yes, I am a car dealer, but this is just a private party sale for a friend in need.  Paperwork will be from him to you.  Clear title in hand.

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
