1997 Ford Probe Gt Hatchback 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
|
I am relisting my Ford Probe. I have included the questions and answers from the previous listing.
This is a stock 1997 Ford Probe GT with a manual transmission. I have owned it for over 6 years and driven it gently, and I am a non-smoker. It is great in the snow! I recently had a complete new clutch and a new fuel pump installed. It runs well. It is black with gray cloth interior, and has keyless entry, and every option available at the time--which are still working today (except one fog light is cracked). It has a Pioneer CD player with a removable faceplate and a 10 CD changer mounted in the trunk. There is a little rust on the sunroof. 178,700 miles. The starting price is below the cost of the recent repairs. I have done the usual oil changes every 3000 miles, and maintenance and repairs over the years. I put a new fuel filter and a new air filter in around August. I had new springs put on the front a few years ago. Please see answered questions below. This car needs some minor repairs. It has the usual Probe conditions of leaking valve cover gaskets and broken stabilizer bar links in the rear. I have been told it has a leaking brake caliper on the rear. I did have new pads and rotors put on the rear when they did the clutch. (How they missed the leaking caliper, idk) I have also been told it needs rear struts. I am not a mechanic, so I have been given these observations by others. I have added some pics of the dash and sun roof. It does not leak. Have added several pics. The picture of the driver's door is taken underneath to show the extent of the rust. The floor pic is taken without the floor mat to show the actual floor condition. The floor mats , and the car in general is in need of a good cleaning. It is cold and snowing here, so I really can't do that now. Some of the pics have snow in them--that is the white flecks in the pic. The wires on the passenger seat are from the CD changer, and from the in-dash stereo for a Sirius connection and a USB connection. Added a better pic of the sunroof without most of the ice....still some by the rust which is on the left side of the pic.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
