135,XXX miles (the title shows exempt so these miles may not reflect actual mileage), I bought the vehicle from a private party about 3 years ago under the assumption the mileage was correct, when I did a VIN check through eBay it shows a title odometer reading of 172,000 miles so I have no idea what the actual miles are. If it does have that many miles, it doesn't run like it does.
Driven Daily
Ice Cold Air
Power Mirrors
5 Speed manual transmission
New Sony CD player
New front tires

doesn't use water
*things you should know*
I'm straight forward and honest, I don't "sugar coat" anything, I say what it is, if it means I get less money for being honest, so be it
Could use a front lower motor mount I replaced the upper and rear mount last year, if you get on the gas hard you can hear it clunk
Needs an alignment, it's a little off center, it doesnt wear the tires down uneven though
Paint is rough, someone painted over the original teal color and didn't do a very good job of it inside the hatch and doors it's still teal and the paint is wearing off on the outside
Interior is solid, seats need to be steam cleaned, they have some grease stains on them, I used it to carry stuff around in that I didn't want to carry in my newer car
Cooling fan is wired to the Fan relay to come on when the key comes on, it's fused and relayed so there is no real electrical concerns with the wiring, car never goes above 1/3 on a 95 degree Florida day
If you use the "Buy it Now" feature I will also include a set of H&R Lowering Springs and Ford Racing Struts I was going to put on but never did

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
