Not a bad van, a good van with a lot of miles - being sold as is/where is. 4 Captain seats, the full couch seat in back pulls down to a bed. With almost 200K miles this work horse has a few issues. I bought the van over two years ago as a transitional vehicle - I've transitioned to my next van. Changed the oil regularly with additive. Lots of dings, a couple small dents, a few small rust spots and starting to leak a bit of oil. The check engine light is on, said to be an emissions sensor by two service garages - and not worth fixing. The airbag light comes on intermittently ( I put a new clockspring in when I bought it - not sure if that's the cause of that airbag light), and the service brake lights will come on every once in a while, however the brakes are good and probably have another 20K plus miles on them. Transmission seems good, but sometimes has a few second pause engaging from reverse to drive. Cruise works, AC works some times, power windows all work. There is a (roughly 12") crack in the windshield that happened with a road rock last spring. I stopped it with a window patch kit and it hasn't advanced in over a year - made it through a Chicagoland winter. The secondary doors on both the side and rear have broken cable stops on the handles, so you have to pull the cables to get them open. Just never bothered to fix them. Missing one hub cap. Carpet has stains and wear, interior has wear - but the vehicle doesn't smell like ick. Rubber is pretty good (see pictures) and all the exterior lights work to the best of my knowledge. If I think of anything else positive or negative - I will add it here right away.

I have attached numerous pictures and have a walk around video, which includes start up and engine running - I will send you that video if you ask. The engine runs smooth..

You can visit the vehicle in North Lake County Illinois area - just ask. $100 deposit on PayPal within 12 hours of winning bid. Cash balance or bank check at pick up.

You can drive it home, and with some TLC this beast will go another 100K miles.

This vehicle is listed locally - so I reserve the right to end the listing without notice.

THIS IS A SIX CYLINDER - MY MISTAKE IN DESCRIPTION ENTRY!! I spoke with Ebay and since there is a bid on the item the only way I can change the description is by canceling and relisting the item, which I may do later today.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
