This is a 1999 ford explorer XLT with 173,000 miles. It is what you would expect a vehicle to look like in the northeast. Little bit of Rust, some wear and tear. I will list all that I can here.

1. Engine & Trans are in good running order. No leaks that I have noticed.

2. Radio & CD Player work, along with the speakers

3. Right front door lock, Needs help locking. You will have to push it down. A little lube may help. Unlocks without a problem.

4. Rear Door Hatch Handle, it works but the screws that hold it on snapped off.

5. Right Front lower ball joint squeaks.

6. Newly installed Battery & Altenator

7. Newly Installed stabilzer Links

8. Front & Rear Brakes done in the last Year (Less than 8000 miles)

9. Muffler Replaced in the last 4 months. However there is an exhaust rattle, at the center pipe to the muffler. Only occurs at low idle. Pressing on that point makes it go away, or reving the engine up to 800 rpm make it go away.

10. Interior for the most part is very clean for a vehicle this age. Not perfect by any means. But Better than most. I did smoke in the vehicle,

11. A/C has a slow leak. Refilled in the summer and by fall it lost its charge. Not to sure of the cause.

12. Shipping is on you. You can pick up or arrange for shipping on your own. The vehicle is in Cleveland Ohio

13. You are welcome to have an inspection done at your expense. There are several repair facilitys with in one mile of my home.

14. I listed it as a SOHC, but I really am not to sure what it is other than a 6 cyl.

15. I bought the vehicle in 2003, and it had 42,865 miles on it. From what I remember, There was only one previous owner.

16. Tires will get you through the winter, possibly till next fall. They are a bit noisy. Drives straight. So I believe the alignment is good.

17. Rust/Dings - There are some spots. Some of the door seams, one at the A-pillar, the rear hatch at the bottom seam. Again this is a Teanage car in northeast ohio. Rust happens.

18. Paypal Deposit of $500 required within 48 hours of auction close. Remaining balance within three days. Remaining Balance can come in the form of Cashier Check or Personal Check (Personal Check will have to clear before you can pick up the vehicle) I will not alterter the sale price on the title, so don't ask.

Any questions feel free to reach out to me or if you would like any additional pictures or video.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
