The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition was a beauty in its day and still has a lot of miles left. Leather seats. Sunroof. Body in good condition. Interior in fair condition. Paint is faded by weather in some places but overall is good. This vehicle has normal dings and scratches like any car its age. The interior has a few minor cracks and blemishes. The driver's side rear door will not open at all. At higher speeds the front end shakes a little. Probably needs alignment work. Radio antenna is broken, so radio will only pick up one station, but does work. Engine shows normal wear and tear typical of a vehicle this age, but still runs strong. I've had this Explorer for 3 years and have had ZERO mechanical issues with it. Very dependable. This would make a great student or work car. This car is being sold "as is". I'm trying to list all the flaws here. It is certainly not a "new" vehicle, but it has been a good one."

Smoke-free car.  This car was used by my wife to go back and forth to work.  It was very carefully maintained.  In 3 years we had NO mechanical issues.  Interior in reasonably good condition.  Large cargo area in the rear.  Nice sunroof.  


Various flaws:  Rear driver door will not open at all.  Passenger front window will not roll down at all.  Will need tires within 5000 miles or so.  Radio antenna broken, but sound system does work.  Paint has weather wear in places, but mostly good.  Cruise controls cracked (on steering wheel), but still work.  Electric door locks sometimes stick, but always open after a couple of clicks on the remote.  Engine has 180000 miles on it, but still dependable.  Front end shakes a little at higher speeds (over 60).  Never had it checked out.  It was like that when I bought it and have had no problems in spite of it.  Normal dings and scratches for a car this age and mileage.  Driver seat has some cracks in the seat, but not bad.

NADA values at $2500.  Kelly Blue Book at $2504 for "fair" condition.  It's at least a fair condition.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013



That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
