Here's the deal with the van. I like to buy cars, selling not so much. It's fun to have a different car often and hunt a for a deal. I bought this vehicle on eBay last year. I paid $3050 for it November 2013. 

Buying cars this way means I almost never have any service records or history to them. This van is no exception. From the basic looks of it it has been maintained, interior and exterior very clean for the age and mileage of the vehicle. Does has some rust on some lower points as noted in the pictures, certainly not as bad as some I have seen or even owned. (Had a 1995 E350)

All I can do is show you pictures of the van and tell you about my time with it. I've driven it around 3000 miles (it's a second vehicle), towed 1500 pounds of scrap metal, and camped in for a couple nights. When you take out the rear bench I have a perfect sized mattress that fits in there. It makes camping out very comfortable.

I've changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter, and replaced the cylinder five ignition coil (had a slight hesitation). That's all I've needed to do for maintenance in the time I've had it. Drives great, shifts great.

So as with any vehicle that's 12 years old it's got some quirks. 
1. Wheel weights have come off the right front wheel, no problem around town but around 70+mph on the highway you get a little shake.
2. Rear door handle is missing one nut/bolt combo, still works fine. 
3. Side door doesn't always unlock with the power locks, something is rattling in the door, this was like it when I bought the van.
4. Outside temp / compass display (overhead) is not working.

The rest is evident with the pictures, a couple dents in the rear bumper, the small sections of rust, and the tiny split in the driver's side front seat.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
