Condition:

Bronco looks and runs great. From the original blue and white paint to the rust free frame and undercarriage, and the push button four wheel drive, you will be pleased with this truck. Everything works on this vehicle, power windows and locks are fully functional, even the back window up/down switch operates. Recently new A/C pump, provides cold A/C, and the heater blows hot.

The original paint is in great overall shape, however it does show some wear on the front of the hood, and the roof, and the aftermarket sun visor is loosing it's clear coat. The ONLY rust is in the inevitable place on the interior of the lower tailgate seam. It is starting on one side, and there are a few spots starting to come through on the exterior of the lower tailgate (see photos). You can see the the rain gutters on the roof are in great shape as well.

The body is wreck and dent free, what you see is what you get. The body or suspension has never been lifted, nor cut, to accommodate larger tire and wheel combinations. The cap has never been removed, and is all original, including the white paint.

All of the chrome, including the bumpers are in great shape, only a few wear spots on the body side molding plastic chrome trim.

Engine and transmission are running great. Starts cleanly even after sitting for a few weeks and the transmission shifts smooth, up and down. There is a slight engine oil drip, I think it is from the rear seal, but I can't say for sure. I know it isn't from the valve covers, as they are clean. Drip isn't significant, as I never have to add oil between changes.

Interior is smoke-free, clean and tear free, even the original floor mats are in great shape. The aftermarket CD radio works fine, however skips occasionally, probably due for a change, it's been 15 years after all.

Optional Features:

The wheels are aftermarket standard size 15" aluminum, and tires are 32X11.50. After market CD radio.

History:

I purchased this vehicle in 1997 in Pittsburgh, from a dealer that had just taken it in on trade for an Explorer. Apparently the vehicle was too big for the female driver. I believe there was about 9,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it came with the bleach marks in the rear carpet. I suspect a grocery store accident... The Bronco lived in between Orlando, Florida and Pennsylvania until 1999, when I moved to Orlando. In 2004, the trucked moved with me to Atlanta, and back to Orlando in 2009. It was my daily driver until 2011, and is now driven occasionally, and currently stored in an indoor storage space.

Shipping and Payment:

Not being an ebay veteran, I prefer a cash transaction, however, a Paypal deposit can be arranged. A $1,000 deposit will be required within 48 hours of sale closing, and a full and final balance payment must be made within 10 days of sale closing. Failure of full and final payment being made within 10 days of sale closing will result in lose of all deposit money and right to vehicle. Once all funds clear, title and vehicle will be released to buyer or buyers agent. Happy to discuss specifics options further. Bronco also being advertised locally.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Would you pay $17 a month to give your older Ford connectivity?

Fri, Mar 30 2018

When it was first introduced in 2007, there was nothing like the original Ford Sync system, since it allowed car owners to connect and use a portable device better than anything that came before it. And because it was a brought-in/tethered and software-based system, Sync leveraged a device's connectivity and was easily updated. It took competitors awhile to catch up: Toyota Entune wasn't available until 2011, and Chevy MyLink didn't roll out until 2012. But now Ford is the one playing catchup since it stuck with the brought-in strategy while most other automakers were quicker to add connectivity via an embedded cellular modem. Ford initially installed 2G/3G modems in its small fleet of electric and plug-in electric vehicles starting in 2012 so that owners could keep tabs on charging. Embedded connectivity came to Lincoln in 2014, and Ford began adding onboard 4G LTE via Sync Connect to select cars starting with the Escape in 2015. To get more cars connected more quickly, last week the automaker rolled out its FordPass SmartLink solution that plugs into the OBD port of 2010 to 2017 model year vehicles. This lets owners retroactively get onboard Wi-Fi, set up a "geo-fence" to keep tabs on a car's location, receive vehicle health reports and allows remote engine starting and door locking/unlocking using a smartphone app, among other features. But to connect older Ford vehicles will cost owners $16.99 a month for two years, not including installation. Ford throws in 1 GB of data or a 30-day trial, whichever comes first, after which owners have to add the vehicle to their Verizon shared data plan, which supplies connectivity for SmartLink, or establish a new account. (Disclosure: Autoblog is owned by Verizon.) By comparison, GM's 4G LTE data plans start at $10 a month for 200 MB and goes up to $30 for 3 GB, and owners can also add a car to an AT&T shared-data plan. But OnStar doesn't have a separate monthly subscription for the embedded modem or an installation charge, and standard features via the RemoteLink Mobile App are free for the first five years of ownership. FCA's Uconnect Access service also uses an embedded modem to provide similar telematics features for $20 per month following a free one-year trial, while a la carte in-car Wi-Fi is offered for $10 per day, $20 per week or $35 per month.
