We have a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT V10 with 4-wheel drive. It has over 300,000 miles, and it does need work. It will run, but it is not safe to drive long distances as it had a small leak in the brake line that has turned into a bigger leak. It needs to have brake fluid added before taking it anywhere. My brother looked under the truck and could said he could see where it was leaking from. It also has the spark plug issues. We believe a spark plug blew a few weeks ago; now the truck runs really loudly and there is gas odor. All the spark plugs do look like they are intact however. We took it in for testing and found the spark plugs 2, 3, and 7 have cylinder misfires detected. There is a slow leak in the right rear tire. In the past, we have put fix a flat in it, and that has helped. Since the vehicle has been sitting undriven for a few weeks, however, the tire is currently flat, but we do have a full size spare tire. The air conditioning is not working. We have been told that it needs a new compressor. Just recently someone ran into the passenger door and dented it when I was parked at work. The front driver's side mirror was also damaged. The heat and the blowers--both front and rear worked fine the last time we ran the heat back in April. We've had the steering column replaced. We had over $1000 in front end work done a few years ago, so the four wheel drive system works fine. There is some minor rust in places. We've used it as a family car for the last several years (a majority of the miles that we put on it were highway miles--trips to Milwaukee, Chicago, Oshkosh, and Philadelphia)--we are the second owners--we purchased it back in 2006). I love this truck and would keep it and get it repaired, but now that we have seven children, there isn't enough passenger seating (it seats 8), so we've purchased a passenger van. Because it has been a primary vehicle for a large family, the interior needs much work. The seats aren't in too bad of shape, but the carpets have seen better days. Everything needs to be cleaned thoroughly. It does have the third row seating and tow package. The fair condition estimate for this model is $4295. Local pick up only. We are in Kenosha Wisconsin, right near the Illinois border, so we are in close proximity to Chicago and Milwaukee. Please send us your best offer.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
