1994 Ford Escort LX station wagon. With title. You'll need a tow truck to pick up in Nashville.

Needs a new TIMING BELT in order to run. Other than that, it is in good shape mechanically, and has lots of good parts. Cosmetically, it is terrible. I used it as a work vehicle for about three years, so it has lots of battle wounds, and I never made any effort to repair cosmetic issues. See photos. I did, however, maintain the mechanical aspects. Recent repairs include a new serpentine belt on August 2011. On the same date I had two new tires installed--Hancock 185/65 R14. The Hancocks are virtually new, as the car broke down in the Spring of 2012 and hasn't been driven since. The other two tires are mastercrafts, and they are in very good shape. In the summer of '09 I had extensive maintenance done including: PCV tube replacements, thermostat, water temp sender, spark plug wire set, new battery (currently needs charging), brake job, and new master cylinder. I have records for all those repairs.

The car has a busted odometer, so I have no idea how many miles it has. It is stuck at 78,000. I would estimate 150,000 or so.

Here are the issues that I can think of:

Needs new TIMING BELT to run.
Oil needs to be topped about twice a year. I would say two quarts a year. It was like that when I got it around '06, and it never got any worse or better. There were never any oil puddles under the car.
Radiator fluid needs to be topped occasionally.
The guy who had it before me got rear ended and put a replacement hatch that is red instead of gold. The rear bumper is still pretty mangled.
The front bumper is sagging on passenger side.
The interior rubber pulls of both front doors are coming off.
The passenger door cannot open from inside.
The passenger seat is terrible. I had placed some batteries on it, and some acid spilled. I neutralized all the acid with baking soda, but the seat is in terrible condition. The passenger seat belt is also shot.
The driver side window does not go up all the way. Leaves about a nickel's width.
The windshield is cracked.
I'm pretty sure the AC does not work. Also, radio does not work.
IMPORTANT to know that the temp gauge signals overheat, but it is NOT overheating. My mechanic looked at this issue extensively, replaced thermostats etc, and tested all the temperatures. It is an issue with the gauge, not the engine.
The ignition on the steering column stopped turning with my key, so my mechanic rigged it so that you can turn it with any key. It still looks like a normal ignition.
Hood has hail damage.
Passenger side exterior mirror has been taken off the car. I have the part and hardware and it can easily be re-installed.

Overall, it's an old car that has seen better days. When the timing belt went, I decided to move on. I have described all issues to the best of my knowledge, but I am selling this car AS IS. There could be some other minor issues with it that I cannot recall. So, again, being sold AS IS, NO RETURNS. Please ask all questions before bidding. If you want to check it out, contact me and we can arrange a visit.

Thanks for looking. Feel free to ask any questions. Check my seller feedback and bid with confidence.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
