THIS IS A FANTASTIC, FUN TO DRIVE CAR FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY. IT HAS LEATHER RECARO SEATS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND A SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION.
My SVT has under 37,000 miles (36,113 as of 6/16 @ 10:03EDT but I am still driving it regularly). I bought it from an older gentleman (in his 60's....I am 58) who said that he'd owned it almost since it was new. I've only put around 5,000 miles on the car....I mostly commute to work on a scooter. I have been gentle with the car and I believe the previous owner was, also.
The SVT's interior is very good. I'm sure it isn't perfect but nothing comes to mind. It has leather Recaro seats up front with seat heaters. It has a glass sunroof. I'm not sure if the lighter/power outlets work---I've never used either of them. It has a CD changer (that I've never used) and, since the radio sounds great, I'm figuring it has an upgraded sound system.
The exterior looks good. The paint is very good. There are a few little parking lot dimples and there is some residue of what likely was overspray (inside of gas access door, on bottom bolt in right rear fender well, below gas access door....nothing on rubber trim and nothing I've seen elsewhere). This is noticeable only upon very close inspection. I got a "clean" CarFax when I bought it and I've had no accidents. The glass is all fine. It has fog lights. The bumpers and side skirts are in very good shape. The headlight lenses are cloudy.
Mechanically, the car is in very good shape. The engine accelerates smoothly. The (6 speed) transmission shifts well. It drives straight and stops straight. The clutch engages early in it's travel and seems fine. The tires are good. The check engine light has come on a few times with a code indicating the car isn't heating up fast enough (P0125). This is, apparently (based on my Internet research), a common issue with the SVT. I have put a piece of tape on the lower grill to block air flow and that, along with the Florida summer heat, appears to have taken care of the problem...for now. When the summer is over, I believe it will need a new thermostat. In the meantime, the engine heats up properly and attains (according to the Temperature Gauge and the Oil Temperature Gauge) normal operating temperatures....it just, I guess, sometimes takes longer than the computer thinks it should.
The tires appear to be good. The rims are good (I have no doubt that they are not perfect).
I have had no mechanical issues except for: 1) The code (see above) 2) The "door open" indicator light staying lit. Following instructions I found on the internet, I sprayed some cleaner around the door locks and that fixed it. 3) The front windshield wipers don't park (at the bottom of the windshield) on their own most of the time.
The a/c blows cold. The previous owner reports having had the condenser(?) replaced. I do have at least some of his records. Besides an oil change and cleaning the door-close sensors, I haven't had to do anything.
There is some wrinkled paint on the exhaust(?) manifold.
Please feel free to email me questions.
Because it is used, the car will be sold "as is". I will be available for a shipper to pick up after payment in full has cleared. Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car will be available for pickup during the day in downtown West Palm Beach---a few miles from the local airport, PBI. I am not available to pick up the buyer at the airport.
I have clean title in my possession. The car will have to be registered in the name of the new owner if it going to be driven off but I would deliver it, after payment in full has cleared, within 50 miles of downtown West Palm Beach.
Since it is used, the car will be sold "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS".

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.
