Condition: This excursion has been an amazing vehicle for my family. We are selling it because we had twins born almost 2 years ago and are now looking to have our 7th child and unfortunately have outgrown this, the largest SUV on the market. We will be looking to buy a 15 passenger van or something equivalent. This vehicle is amazingly clean for its age and has very minimal ware and Low miles. The drivers seat leather shows some ware on the door side where you slide over the edge. You can see from the pictures that I am missing some hub caps on some of my wheels, new caps have been ordered and will be included in the sale. I ordered a set of 4 to replace all of them. There is a short or something in the driver side power seat that controls the forward back motion. You can get it to move you just have to keep playing with the joystick until it starts to move. I have never had it looked at because I am usually the only one who drives this vehicle and don't need to adjust the seat very often. The only other item worth mention that I can recall is a small chip in the front driver side windshield. This has not begun to crack and I will make sure it is chip sealed prior to pickup.

Features: This car is the perfect setup for a family. You have a very powerful engine that gets good mileage and can pull anything with its heavy duty tow package with brake controller. It is also set up with a dual screen rear entertainment system, one in dash screen and the other on the ceiling behind the front row of seats. 3rd row seating allowing for a total of 7 passengers. Large area behind the rear seat for luggage as well as a rooftop luggage rack. This has oversized tires with about 75% wear remaining on the rubber. Premium custom wheels.

History: We are the 2nd owner of this vehicle and I purchase it from the GM dealer as a certified used car. I have maintained the car with all the scheduled maintenance as needed.

Shipping and Payment: This purchase will be pickup only. We will require a deposit of $750 within 24 hrs. of auction close with the remaining funds and pickup within 7 days after auction close. All funds must be verified and cleared prior to release of the vehicle. Bank certified check or cash only. I do have a loan with a local credit union that will need to be paid so the transaction will happen at the credit union to ensure both parties protection on the exchange and proper documentation on the release of title to new owner

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

Ford sued by Versata over alleged software trade secret theft

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Automakers are routinely subject to intellectual property and patent disputes, whether over design similarities or pieces of tech. Ford is now facing a lawsuit for alleged IP theft over a piece of software from a company called Versata, and the business wants $1 billion from the Blue Oval for the violation. With such huge amount of money at stake, the legal situation is already getting complicated. According to The Detroit Free Press, Versata's software is designed to help automakers improve product development by making sure all of a car's countless components work together. The company and Ford had a contract for the system for many years, and they were negotiating an extension at the end of 2014. However, the deal fell through, and the Blue Oval ended the two business' arrangement. Making the legal situation especially tricky is that Ford developed and patented its own software for the same task. The automaker then filed a lawsuit in Michigan to have the court check whether the program violated Versata's IP, according to The Detroit Free Press. Later, the software company registered a lawsuit in Texas and alleged the Blue Oval stole proprietary code. Versata has asked for an injunction against Ford and restitution. "Ford's patented software does not use or infringe any Versata intellectual property and Versata has provided no basis for their claims against us," the automaker said in a statement to Autoblog. "We are confident that we will ultimately prevail in this case and we look forward to the opportunity to present our evidence at trial." With both sides in dispute, that leaves Ford pushing for a hearing in Michigan and Versata for Texas. According to The Detroit Free Press, it could be at least a year before a trial, if not longer. Of course in the meantime, the two sides could conceivably reach a settlement, and the whole issue would disappear.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
