2004 Ford Freestar Limited Mini Passenger Van 4-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, United States

Beautiful low mileage 2004 Ford Freestar Limited mini van. Van is in excellent shape with basically only typical wear and tear, knicks and small scratches. Only scratch that I admit is noticeable is on left rear trim moulding which is shown in a picture. Radio button labeling also shows wear which you will see in a picture but radio works perfect. Only known flaw with the vehicle is the left front cv joint makes the typical clicking noise on sharp left turns but causes no functionality issues so I never bothered repairing. It can be replaced if you choose as the joints are not very expensive and possibly even just lubed to stop the clicking. Van has been extremely well serviced over it's life. I was a service manager of a Ford dealer for 20 years and bought this on trade off my dealer with around 14,000 miles as the original owner decided he didn't want a mini van and bought a full size s.u.v. instead. I serviced and took care of everything on this van since I bought it in 2005 or so as my wife drove it with my kids!!! About 2 years ago I gave her a new car and took over using this van but I have now been given a company car so the van is just sitting unused and it's time to go. Van is fully loaded with just about every single option that was available back in 2004 on them. Sticker new was approximately $39,000.00 as it was the absolute top of the line in a wonderful color scheme. It really is a classy and attractive mini van. I had remote start installed as well as Ford's handsfree phone system that plays through the car speakers. The system was one of the first hands free systems when they starting making them for cars so it is admitedly basic and dors not download your phone book and if you want to save a number you have to go through several steps for every number you save. I basically used it to answer incoming calls and just hit call and announce the number I wanted it to dial. Basic as compared to new car systems but still better than wearing an ear piece and having to fiddle for the phone when driving. Basically next best thing to having a present age hands free factory phone system. Vehicle has never been in an accident nor even a fender bender or ding repair. Van is located mostly at my work and I try to keep it in the warehouse as you will see from the pictures. It can be viewed weekdays from 8-4 by just contacting me and letting me know you are coming. If you need to see it on a weekend or weeknight we can probably arrange something. I am also trying to sell it privately so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. I WILL NOT SHIP OR ARRANGE ANY TYPE OF SHIPPING WHATSOEVER. IT IS REGISTERED AND INSURED PRESENTLY SO IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 30 MILES OF ZIP 07004 I WILL DRIVE IT TO YOUR LOCATION BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO DRIVE ME BACK. PAYMENT OF $500.00 DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTIONS END BY DELIVERY OR PAYPAL (IF OVERNIGHTING CHECK IT MUST BE A CERTIFIED CHECK). PAYMENT IN FULL AND PICK UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTIONS END. I DO NOT FINANCE AND WILL NOT TAKE INSTALLMENTS SO DON'T BOTHER ASKING. Please don't bid if you don't intend to buy you will be responsible for auction fees. Van is a wonderful vehicle and only reason it is going is because I no longer have a use for it with being given a company car. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty. I know the van is excellent but I can not predict the future and it is what it is. My starting price for what this van costed and the condition it is in is a steal. You can't get anything new these days that is this type of vehicle for under 40K and this mini van with it's mileage probably has another decade plus of service in it. Happy bidding and any questions feel free to contact me.

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
