I have owned this car since Dec 2007. I bought it in Texas as a second car used for occasional trips and to escort customers. I have added a little over 13,000 miles in that time. The only time the car failed to start was when the battery died. Since I purchased it, it has been in a garage until last year when it was moved under a carport. The car was originally from Michigan where it started as a leased vehicle. At 3 years old it had less than 30,000 miles. It now has just over 43,100. I no longer do the type of work where I need a nice second car for customers and rarely drive this car so it is time to sell it. For a car this age the interior is nearly perfect as is the outside. Everything on the car works as one would expect it to as if it was much newer. I have had the car serviced every 3,000 miles. The tires were put on last year and still look new. My mechanic says the only thing he knows this car needs is to have the rotors turned the next time the front pads are replaced because there is a slight vibration upon firm braking. The right front speaker buzzes a little. The car comes with the original owner's manual. Kelly Blue book puts this car at over $6,000 in a private party sale. The front seats have been covered since I purchased the car to preserve the cloth. A dash cover is on the car to protect the dash from cracking in the Texas heat. The car is now in Southeastern Kentucky. I drove it from Texas to Kentucky on several occasions with no issues. In stop and go traffic it gets about 18-19 mpg and the best highway mileage I have recorded is 26. At 70 mph it does about 22.
I will not sell to overseas buyers and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, if required. I will work with any shipper. A $250 non-refundable deposit is required up acceptance of your offer and remaining funds must be verified before I will release the car.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
