1992 FORD AEROSTAR ALL WHEEL DRIVE SHORTY

GOOD:

NO LEAKS, SHIFTS GOOD, TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL, ENGINE HAS NO NOISES, INTERIOR IS CLEAN AND NO RIPS OR SERIOUS STAINS. EXTERIOR HAS NO DENTS, CLEARCOAT IS NICE AND PAINT IS SHINY. TIRES ARE HALF TREAD. ALL OPTIONS WORK INCLUDING COLD A/C. HAS A TRAILER HITCH. HAS A NEW BUG SHIELD AND RAIN VISORS. HAS AFTER MARKET WHEELS AND RUNNING BOARDS. THE CV JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SOME TIME BACK.

BAD:

1 AREA OF RUST UP UNDER THE ROCKER ABOVE THE RUNNING BOARDS (see pic - can't see rust unless you lay on the ground and look up). SUNVISORS HAVE DISCOLORED. REAR BUMPER IS CRACKED (see pic). THE PASSENGER DOOR IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COLOR WHITE (I assume it has been replaced at some point). THE INDICATOR BEZEL (PRND23) IS MISSING. THE GEAR LEVER CATCHES SOME WHEN PUTTING IT IN GEAR (once you do it and see how it's quirky, it's not a big deal). SOME PAINT MISSING ABOVE THE DOOR (see pic).

We've driven the van on a couple trips lately. It always does great. It always starts and is a reliable vehicle. This winter the van was in a snow (2 inches) covered parking lot at the bottom of a steep hill. It went up the snowy hill like it was on dry pavement. Amazing in the snow and rain.

The short wheel base and running boards and wheels really set the van off. It's a good looking van and runs good too !!

I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere you need to go.

the deposit is NON REFUNDABLE but you are not obligated to take the van but you will lose the $150 deposit

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
