I'm selling my 2005 Ford Escape XLT Sport. My wife and I bought it new in October of 2004, so it's a 1 owner(non smoker)vehicle and never been in an accident. It's front wheel drive and has the 3.0L V6 engine. Overall it's in great, clean condition but as with other used vehicles, has some nicks, scratches, and dents. Also, I want to be honest so I will say that the check engine light does come on after awhile(catalytic converter/manifold(bank 2/front)) but I have the part to fix it and it will be included. It has two-tone paint that's white on the top and charcoal on the bottom. The interior is tan leather. It has 175,500 mainly highway miles. I'm from NY and this is the car my wife and I used to drive back and forth once a month. She also drove it 80 miles round trip to work daily. It's been a great car and we've put a lot of work into it in the last 6 months/year but needed a bigger SUV so we're selling this one. It has new front brake lines, pads(ceramic)/rotors and calipers on the front. It has a newer alternator and brand new battery, new Y-pipe, newer serpentine belt, both tensioners, new A/C compressor/drier, and the whole system was vacuumed and recharged(September 2013). This model year Escape had a design flaw where they ran the moonroof drain to the rear passenger side wheel-well. Eventually, they completely rust out and the rear spring blows through the rear quarter panel. After driving with the spring literally coming through the inside of the truck, we had the problem fixed and put new rear springs on each side. This model year is also known for rusting under the doors and rear door/quarter panels, but those spots have been treated with POR15 and repainted. It has almost new(11/32) Continental Contitrac tires, full sized spare with matching alloy wheel, a class III hitch with 2" receiver, 6 disc in-dash cd changer and AUX input/FM modulator, wood grain dash trim, leather, power driver seat, power windows/locks, moonroof, tinted rear glass, and aftermarket Viper auto-start. We also have 4 new Timken wheel bearings and front hubs that we never got around to put on but will include. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles and it's been well maintained. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Sold As-Is. Thanks for looking!

Ford shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.

GM says it favors fuel-efficiency rules based on historic rates

Mon, Oct 29 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors backs an annual increase in fuel-efficiency standards based on "historic rates" rather than tough Obama era rules or a Trump administration proposal that would freeze requirements, according to a federal filing made public on Monday. The largest U.S. automaker said the Obama rules that aimed to hike fleet fuel efficiency to more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025 are "not technologically feasible or economically practicable." The Detroit automaker said that since 1980, the motor vehicle fleet has improved fuel efficiency at an average rate of 1 percent a year. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said in separate comments that the auto industry is complying with existing fuel efficiency requirements by using credits from prior model years. As a result, even if requirements are frozen at 2020 levels, "the industry would need to continue to improve fuel economy" as credits expire, it added, warning if the government hikes standards beyond 2020 requirements "the situation worsens ... without some significant form of offset or flexibility." Fiat Chrysler and Ford urged the government to reclassify two-wheel drive SUVs as light trucks, which face less stringent requirements than cars. A four-wheel drive version of the same SUV is considered a light truck. Ford backs fuel rules "that increase year-over-year with additional flexibility to help us provide more affordable options for our customers." GM's comments said it was "troubled" that President Donald Trump's administration wants to phase out incentives for electric vehicles. The Trump plan's preferred alternative freezes standards at 2020 levels through 2026 and hikes U.S. oil consumption by about 500,000 barrels per day in the 2030s but reduces automakers' collective regulatory costs by more than $300 billion. It would bar California from requiring automakers to sell a rising number of electric vehicles or setting state emissions rules. The administration of former President Obama had adopted rules, effective in 2021, calling for an annual increase of 4.4 percent in fuel-efficiency requirements from 2022 through 2025. GM has been lobbying Congress to lift the existing cap on electric vehicles eligible for a $7,500 tax credit. The credit phases out over a 12-month period after an individual automaker hits 200,000 electric vehicles sold, and GM is close to that point.
