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.

Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably

Mon, Jun 18 2018

Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
