This is a great little car and the winner of the auction will be very happy.  I am selling it for a friend that is very ill, and won't be driving any time soon.  He bought it brand new here in Los Angeles, and has loved and taken care of it since.  NO stories or excuses, just a really nice car.  It looks nice, and drives tight and right.  Amazing for 150K miles.  Feels more like 80K miles.  It's rated at 33 mpg, I can tell because the original window sticker is still in the car.  MSRP was $14,450.  It has the optional power group that gives power windows, alarm, power locks and power mirrors.  It also has the premium group that gives 16" wheels, courtesy lighting,  cruise control, tilt wheel and front seat armrest.  The owners manual is in the glove box.
Low BlueBook is $2150 and Retail BlueBook is $3650.   On a car lot, it would sell for $3995 easily.   It should auction for just under retail book in this market and gas prices.  No Reserve, so we will let the market set the price.
I just drove the car over 50 miles and it ran great.  He just had several things serviced in the last 4 months for over $1000.  I think it was a new clutch and other items.  The clutch feels perfect.  I will add the list of services, when I can reach the owner in the hospital.  A/C blows cold, oil is clean and everything I tried worked properly.  The tires are about 50-60% remaining and wearing evenly.  It just passed a smog check, and I have the certificate for you.  The California registration is good until April 2014.
There are a few small scrapes on the rear bumper (see pictures), and very little sand damage to the front bumper and hood.  Pretty minor for the miles I think.  I just had the car detailed, so it's ready to drive away, or give as a gift to someone special.
Please follow my deposit instructions within 48 hours, and pick the car up within 7 days.  Failure to follow these and I will file for resolution.  I like the auction process, so please don't ask me to end it early for you.  Please don't bid if you are not going to buy the car.
My guarantee:  If you don't like the car after winning the auction, making the deposit, and driving it, you don't have to buy it, but you do lose your $250 deposit.  I never try to force a sale.  I have the car available in Thousand Oaks if you want to check it out before bidding.  You can see it at 7 Duesenberg Dr., Thousand Oaks, CA.  Email me for an appointment. Yes, I am a car dealer, but this is just a private party sale for a friend in need.  Paperwork will be from him to you.  Clear title in hand.

Drive Ford's new Mustang in Need For Speed Rivals

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

If waiting for the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang to hit dealerships is just too tall of an order, you'll be happy to hear that there is now an alternative means of getting behind the wheel of America's favorite pony car. The Mustang is making its video game debut in Need For Speed Rivals.
"We worked closely with the development team at EA to provide them with engineering data for the new Mustang, several months before we showed it to the rest of the world," said Ford product licensing manager Mark Bentley. "Computer design models enabled the game developers to create an accurate representation of the new Mustang before it goes on sale."
Players will have access to five unique designs for the Mustang, allowing a degree of individuality beyond solid colors and decals. According to Digital Marketing Manager Andrea Zuehlk of Ford, those designs are drawn from the four most popular designs on the Mustang Customizer, an online, mobile and tablet app that allows the public to design their own custom Mustang. A fifth design, penned by drift racer Vaughn Gittin, Jr., is also available.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
