1999 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0L V6 with 120k on the odometer.


Dependable vehicle, I've had 2 explorers in my lifetime.  Parts are also inexpensive because these vehicles were the most mass produced SUVs in the world, and still hold that record.  I've had 1 5.0 Explorer and 1 4.0 Explorer, the V8 5.0 gets about 12mpg, this gets 18, and on the highway at 65 will easily get you 20mpg.  The V6 is powerful enough for any situation, and saves your wallet.  This engine was designed well, and easy maintenance down the road for a tune-up or whatever it needs in another 100,000 miles.

Working 4x4
120k on odometer
Alloy Wheels
85% Tread left on tires (see in picture)
BRAND NEW Brake lines, all 4 brake lines replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
BRAND NEW Brake pads
BRAND NEW Fuel lines, send and return line replaced (A shop would charge you $700+)
All fluids SERVICED.  Trans, Oil, Coolant.  Not even 20 miles on the fluids.
Runs COOL, NOT HOT!!
Interior isn't nasty with stains all over, average 14 year old interior
Exhaust NOT rusted out, in good working order
New spark plugs
Replaced Center Console Hinge that was broken from being leaned on, all ready to be leaned on for another 120,000+ miles!
Ice cold AC, HOT Heat
All power windows work
All locking mechanisms work
Cruise control works
Fog Lights work
All headlights/taillights work
Dash light works, interior lights work
Rear Windshield wiper works
Defrost works
No radio in the pictures, *BUT IT DOES COME WITH A RADIO* (The factory radio had buttons that were not functioning)
Roof Rack
I'm currently getting 18mpg
Strong Engine
Trans is the original, has not been replaced.  Standard 4R70W Transmission found in every ford/mercury/lincoln vehicle of the same era.
Power Steering Pump might need to be replaced, when you're reversing it is stiff, but when you're driving its perfectly normal and fine, very easy and cheap fix.  Not quite sure why it's doing this but at 120,000 miles it might be time to replace it. It's a $50 part.
Little bit of rust on the bottom of the doors same spot on both sides, rust on bumper
Wheel wells are rust free!
Few scratches and little dings on body, not much at all actually, pretty nice for a 14 year old vehicle
little tear in the seat, nothing major.  Again, pretty average for a 14 year old vehicle
No accidents!

Clean nice running vehicle with 4x4, title in hand.  Good first vehicle, winter vehicle, 2nd vehicle, boat puller, whatever the case may be this is the perfect vehicle for any situation.  The ONLY thing it MIGHT need is a $50 power steering pump, which doesn't affect ANY driveability. As I said it is normal when you drive, and stiff in reverse.  Power steering pumps are very easy to replace, you can do it on your own or it would only cost you 2 hours in labor at a shop.  Running well and ready to go.

**My reserve is set at a price that is reasonable with the labor that I put into the vehicle.  I redid all the brake lines, the fuel lines, and put new pads on all the brakes, new plugs, AND serviced all the fluid.  And fixed the center console that always breaks in these vehicles.  All of this would have cost you $1,800-2000+ if you went to a shop!! My reserve price is right around that area... a little lower :) She's all fixed up for a new owner. 

That's everything there is about the vehicle listed above, message me with questions!  I have my phone on me 24/7 and I'm always ready to respond!  Thanks for reading, happy bidding.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start

Fri, 17 May 2013

We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
