I love to buy vehicles like this that were not traded-in but were donated to a charity. This one needed some brake lines so I replaced them. These are win win deals. The previous owner gets a tax write off. the charity gets well needed funds and my customers get a nice vehicle. This truck runs and drives excellent. The tires are "like new". It has a few dings on the hood, as well as scratches here and there. Great on fuel, but I don't think you will tow a 50' boat with it. LOL. I only sell cars and trucks on this site, so you don't have to search my feedback for somone who bought a car from me. EVERY feedback from a buyer is for a vehicle like this. No exceptions. Please call me, ( Dickie ) for any questions. My number is: 508 994-9206. P.S. I've been in business for 38 years and with Ebay motors for ten years. I got my first negative feedback from a man called Skip Bell. I sold him a nice Dodge Stratus for $1995.00. He met me in person and I explained to him that the manual crank window on the driver's side would stick once in a while. He tried it and liked it and he drove it home to New Jersey. When he arrived he left me a message saying how much he liked the car. Later he called me to tell me that his mechanic wanted $258.00 to replace the window regulator on the driver's side. ( the one I told him about ). I told him I could buy one on Ebay for between $50.00 to $75.00, send it to his mechanic and pay to have it installed. He refused and left negative feedback. No mention of the window of course. Brakes sound a lot more serious. I won't use the term to describe what he was trying to do, but I think you know what I mean. I have the recording for anyone who would like to hear it. ( perfectly legal ) Take care, Dickie. P.S. This truck does not have air conditioning.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
