Up for auction is our 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. She has been a wonderful car for our family, but now needs some work and we don't have anyone locally who has the equipment to do it. We haven't had any trouble with the car until about 2 months ago when we received a "STOP SAFELY NOW" message on the console. We had the car towed to the dealer who told us that the battery needs replacing and quoted us about $6000. We had it towed to our local independent mechanic who is certified for Hybrid work and had him install a used battery that we purchased here on ebay from a wrecked Escape. Unfortunately, the new (used) battery we purchased had lost its charge and the car still wouldn't crank. Doing some research on the car, it appears that the car won't crank if the Hybrid battery is at less than 30% of its charge. We don't have any way to charge the battery here, so it's time to sell. We did receive a quote of $2,500 to have the battery reconditioned at a Hybrid specialist in Dallas. It's just too far for us to take it. If you have access to a mechanic with a High Voltage Hybrid battery charger, this could be your auction. I will include the original battery that we took out, as well as the replacement we had installed. Since your mechanic will need access to the battery and HV components, I will leave the rear cargo trim covers unattached.

We are the original owners and have kept the car in a garage. The car is loaded with every available option we could add: Leather interior, Nav package with CD Changer, Power Moonroof, Heated Seats, 6 Way Power Driver Seat, Roof Rack, Rear Camera. The car has received all regular maintenance and oil changes with premium synthetic oil. The leather interior is in fair condition, with some wear to the front seats (see photos). The back seats are in good shape as they were covered with a car seat mat. There are a few small spots on the carpet and one faint spot on the headliner above the back seat. The glass is all good. The tires are pretty new (less than one year) and are in good condition. The paint has a few rubbed spots on the doors but is generally good. There are a couple of very small dings on the hood and quarter panel. The car has lived in the South and hasn't seen road salt; there's no rust anywhere on the car. The car has never been in a wreck or had flood damage. The navigation monitor has a bad spot in it that doesn't affect functionality (it's about the size of an eraser). The car was getting an average of 32 MPG on regular commute driving. We are non-smokers.

I will be happy to help you arrange shipping or you can come here and load it on your trailer. $400 Deposit is due via Paypal within 3 days. The remainder can be paid via Cash, Bank Wire or Certified Check. The title is clean, in-hand, and current.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.
