I'm selling my 2005 Ford Escape XLT Sport. My wife and I bought it new in October of 2004, so it's a 1 owner(non smoker)vehicle and never been in an accident. It's front wheel drive and has the 3.0L V6 engine. Overall it's in great, clean condition but as with other used vehicles, has some nicks, scratches, and dents. Also, I want to be honest so I will say that the check engine light does come on after awhile(catalytic converter/manifold(bank 2/front)) but I have the part to fix it and it will be included. It has two-tone paint that's white on the top and charcoal on the bottom. The interior is tan leather. It has 175,500 mainly highway miles. I'm from NY and this is the car my wife and I used to drive back and forth once a month. She also drove it 80 miles round trip to work daily. It's been a great car and we've put a lot of work into it in the last 6 months/year but needed a bigger SUV so we're selling this one. It has new front brake lines, pads(ceramic)/rotors and calipers on the front. It has a newer alternator and brand new battery, new Y-pipe, newer serpentine belt, both tensioners, new A/C compressor/drier, and the whole system was vacuumed and recharged(September 2013). This model year Escape had a design flaw where they ran the moonroof drain to the rear passenger side wheel-well. Eventually, they completely rust out and the rear spring blows through the rear quarter panel. After driving with the spring literally coming through the inside of the truck, we had the problem fixed and put new rear springs on each side. This model year is also known for rusting under the doors and rear door/quarter panels, but those spots have been treated with POR15 and repainted. It has almost new(11/32) Continental Contitrac tires, full sized spare with matching alloy wheel, a class III hitch with 2" receiver, 6 disc in-dash cd changer and AUX input/FM modulator, wood grain dash trim, leather, power driver seat, power windows/locks, moonroof, tinted rear glass, and aftermarket Viper auto-start. We also have 4 new Timken wheel bearings and front hubs that we never got around to put on but will include. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles and it's been well maintained. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Sold As-Is. Thanks for looking!

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
