Rochester, New York, United States

 This is a nice running and working Suv.

I purchased it to help my friend when the motor gave him problems.

He had replaced the transmission with a remanufactured on in may of 2013 at 142K ( with receipt)

When I had the car taken to the shop, i opted to just replace the motor with a somewhat lower mileage motor since we did not know the extent of the problems within the original.

The new motor had 125K and the suv had 145,996

after new motor was installed we discovered the issue was a hole in the radiator that caused original to overheat, and thus.. whaola.. new motor.

so I installed a new radiator, serp. belt, battery, then 2 weeks later the right rear half shaft and hub.

I have driven it over 1000 miles, and then summer came and I got my summer car out, so this one is in the barn.

Ther is nothing wrong with it, everything works, air, power options, everything.

With this said, there are some flaws, its 10 yrs old with 147K.

the exterior has some scratches, the right frint corner has a wrinkle in the bumper,  the rear gate has a small spot of rust starting, as is also on the RR wheel well when you open the rear door.
The interior is light tan, and shows wear. the steering wheel has some tan worn down to the darker brown leather on the left side. the seat show wear.  the pockets on the front dors have been removed ( IDK why) and the handles for reclining the front seats need to be replaced as they are missing. the left front seat is missing the plastic trim around the base of the seat

None of thse are major issues, I am simply trying to be as detailed as I can, because I know how hard it is to buy a car sight unseen.

Mech the only thing I know is there is a tiny oil drip near the oil filter. In the 1000 miles I have used it it say It might have lost a 1/4 cup? its not dropped on the dipstick at all.. its a Tiny tiny spot I noticed.

It did pass NYSI in april or may, and I have not had any service light come on.. its really running nice.

I will drive it again this winter if I dont sell, but its not the best on gas, so Id be ok with getting something smaller. I have achieved up to 19mpg Hwy and it averages, 13.5-15 normally. average for a awd suv with a v8.

i have receipts for all work listed, I lost the labor receipt for the motor install, but I do have the motor  receipt, and have no problem taking you to the shop that did the work. they are very reputable.

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction

Sat, 21 Sep 2013


Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
