2003 Ford Escort Zx2 on 2040-cars
Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I purchased this vehicle to use as a commuter car for the great gas mileage. Unfortunately the transmission started acting up and I went back to driving my other vehicle. I only got to put a few thousand of miles on the car and before the trans problems but it drove great and everything seemed nice and tight. I purchased the zx2 from the original owners knowing that it needed a head gasket. I had the head machined and new valve guides installed prior to replacing the head gasket. Before I started driving the car I replaced the front pass caliper and pads on both sides, 2 new front tires and I also bought 2 snow tires that come with the car. Also replaced were the rear shoes and the exhaust from catalytic converter back. I also put a new pioneer stereo that has a usb/ipod hookup with the proper harness.
Interior of the car is in excellent shape, there is a burn hole in the rear seat on the pass side. The rest of the interior shows little to no wear and still has a nice smell as I know the original owner was a non smoker. all the power accessories work as they should, power windows, power locks, power sunroof(no leaks), and the power mirrors. The engine ran great when I was driving it and I didn't have an issue with it at all, when the head gasket was done I also did a tune up plugs, wires, the fuel filter. I also had to have the engine re timed do the a failed vct solenoid and with the part and labor it ran me a little over 800 dollars and the ford dealer in Edinboro pa The transmission still moves the car, when placed in D it slips but engages normally in L, I'm not sure if it is a solenoid in the valve body or if it just needs replaced. once started out in low if you put the selector in D it shifts normally until you come to a stop then you have to do it all over again. The exterior of the car looks good, has a few minor dings and dents and a few scratches. It is also missing the door molding on the drivers door. There are a few surface rust spots but nothing that is through the metal, the undercarriage has some corrosion but is still nice and solid I hate to let it go but with already having a car and a new baby now my priorities have changed and its time to move on. The zx2 is sold as is/where is. It is up to the buyer to pick up or make arrangements for shipping, I am happy to help load the vehicle as I wouldn't drive it not knowing when the transmission is going to completely go out. Buyer is responsible for title transfer fees The reserve price is not much more than scrap. |

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
