1998 Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition
The SUV has 135,250 highway miles as of listing date. (Millage will go up because this vehicle is currently my daily driver.) It has been maintained VERY well by previous owner and myself. The previous owner purchased service manual (included with sale) and kept up to date on all service intervals. I too kept up all maintenance as well. New spark plugs! I did oil changes every 3k miles. Just serviced by my mechanic last week. Brand new abs sensor, u-joint, control arms as per his recommendation. Ready for the winter! It has the 5.4L V8. It is the Eddie Bauer Edition but the originally gold trim has been painted black to match the aftermarket black rims.

The condition of the vehicle has been clearly described to the best of my ability in the "condition description" provided in this auction:

"The expedition starts up, runs, drives, and stops great as it should. Exterior is very clean, original paint still shines and looks great. There are a few scratches throughout and a small dent at the rear passenger side of the vehicle. The interior is very clean with original floor mats in place since new. The driver's seat is torn up a bit but completely useable. There is a small plastic ring missing from the overdrive button on the gear shifter, however it still works fine and only effects cosmetics. "CHECK SUSP" light is only dash light on... One speaker for the radio does not work, it will "buzz" on occasion, I was told it is blown. The tires all have good tread and are all 33" in diameter, however the rear's brand do not match each other and are also different from the front set. All four tires have an equally aggressive tread so they do make a "humming" noise while driving at higher speeds, which is expected. Lastly, the 4x4 electronically engages and disengages as it should." Didn't have room to write but the "CHECK SUSP" (or check suspension light) is on only because this vehicle has been converted from air bag suspension to coil over suspension by the previous owner. Code is showing because the plugs to the airbags have been since disconnected. Suspension works great just as it should with the newer lower maintenance coil over suspension.

I would strongly suggest looking at the vehicle in person before bidding because the vehicle is sold AS IS with NO WARRANTY. I reserve the right to end auction early because the vehicle is also for sale locally. It is a sharp looking SUV, I always keep it clean, and very frequently do I get comments about it from complete strangers. It is not perfect but personally, I have yet to see a cleaner 1998 Expedition. The only reason why I am selling it is because I need a pick up truck for work.

Any questions or picture requests feel free to email call or text.

Thank you

-Phil

Ford Sync 3 launches this summer on 2016 Escape, Fiesta [w/video]

Tue, Jun 2 2015

The days of MyFord Touch are nearly over. Ford unveiled its brand-new Sync 3 infotainment system late last year, and has now announced that the first vehicles to receive this tech will be the 2016 Escape and Fiesta, this summer. The big improvements for Sync 3 include faster response time, better voice command integration, more logical controls, and a more intuitive interface. Those were all the key complaints of MyFord Touch – especially the response-time issue. Furthermore, future Sync 3 updates can be downloaded via WiFi. Sync 3 ditches the Microsoft-sourced software that powered MyFord Touch. Instead, Ford uses the Blackberry-owned QNX system. Ford will update its full range of vehicles in the near future, with complete integration by the end of the 2016 calendar year. Lincoln will get this tech, too, but with a slightly different look. Have a look at Sync 3 in the video below, and scroll down for Ford's official press blast. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid

Tue, Jun 17 2014

It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course Â– was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
