2002 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0L V6

No Reserve Auction!!! Doesn't start, needs work.

Up for sale this 02 Explorer Sport I purchased locally with the intention of having it repair, but have other projects and have to let some of them go. It has 166,398 miles according to the person I got it from it was running great until February, when it was having Y pipe catalytic converter issues, I guess they loosen up and cut up the Y cats to figure out the problem, but truck still didn't start. Was told it might have a timing chain or misfire issues?? For what I see the left valve cover has a crack. I'm not a mechanic, that's the reason I'm selling for parts or maybe have the engine replace/repair. No battery comes with the truck. Also will need a tire for the stock wheel that is inside cargo area. It currently has the spare tire on the rear right side. The body is on ok conditions, and the interior as well besides center console thats broken. Cd/cassette radio and A/C works. Clean MA title on hand.

See all actual pictures taken on 4/19/14.

Any questions please ask before placing a bid, I will do my best to answer. If your local feel free to come and check it out, just email me.

Selling as is, where is without any kind of warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up of the vehicle, delivery arrangement and transport fees.

A Paypal deposit of $200 is required within 24 hours of the end of auction. The remaining balance is due at or before pickup, either cash or certified cashier check. All within 10 days of the end of auction.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
