Very rare opportunity here. I am selling my truck because I really dont need this much truck. Most of the mileage was put on in the first 3 or 4 years. After that it ranged fro 2k -5k in a year. It only got that because I did not want it sitting and developing problems.

If you are seriously interested,contact me, I will end auction early until if and when reserve is met.

I will say up front that I know the price is premium. It is a premium condition truck and I have no intention of giving it away.  I have been watching and it is a super rare occasion that a regular cab truck comes available that is not worked to death. The truck was not detailed for pics or to sell. I took it out of the garage to take the pics and put it back. It stays this clean and stays inside.

Please bid only if you have the funds available to follow through. E bay is not cheap and if it meets reserve the final fees kick in.

Try finding this set up anywhere, chances are slim. If you want a regular cab loaded truck, Get it now. You will be very hard pressed to find a 10 year old truck in this condition. That being said, I dont have to sell it, but I would really like to see it used more for what it is. You can get in it right now and tow your camper,boat, or whatever, or you can hop in and go coast to coast. I is a very comfortable truck to drive. It is very easy to enter and exit with the grab handles and exterior steps.

The inside of the bed is used. I bought it for a truck, not a 34 thousand dollar people transport. There are scratches and probably some small dents in there. With the tonnea, you dont see them. If you have issues with the scratches, have it rhino lined. There is no rust in the cargo area.

Everything on the truck works just as it did when new.

I orderd this truck myself and have been the only driver on it since new. Actually my wife drove it a few times. It was never loaned out. Witht the exception of being in for service it was never out of my control.

Unless I was away with it, it never sat outside. It has been a garaged vehicle since new. The only option not on the truck is the back up sensors in the bumper. Not really sure why I did not just have them put on also. Every other option and package available was put on the truck when ordered.

The pictures are very self explanatory. You will be hard pressed to find a match to this truck. To this day I will be asked if it is new. Obviously it is normally people who dont know the visual difference of the newer models. Condition wise this is a solid 9.5 out of 10.

The top of the cab is just under 7 ft so it will fit in a 7 ft garage door. It is a 137 inch wheelbase

First the flaws. Left front corner of hood there is a small ding which I got on the PA turnpike last year. No idea what is was but sounded like a boulder hit it. easy repair but not without paint. Not very noticeable unless you are looking for it. The tailgate has two or 3 small dings from yours truly backing into a mailbox. These will come out with dent wizard but again you have to look for them.

On the interior there is a very fine scratch on the passenger side dash in the plastic caused by a buddy.

Thats it,  the rest is as close to brand new condition as you can get.

Original Items;  8800 gvwr package

All power, A/C, windows,locks, power and heated mirrors, power pedals,6 way drivers power seat, Interval wipers,cruise control, AM/FM/Casette/ single CD, Tilt wheel

Options included

Trailer tow package.

Package 607A  6.8 L V10 engine, 4 speed automatic transmission,3.73 axle ratios with limited slip rear

Advanced security group  Auto locks, auto headlights, Remote keyless entry

Bright tubular cab steps    sliding rear window   Camper package-rear stabilizer bar

FX4 Package   Skid plates    roof lights   Deluxe aluminum wheels ( removed after about 2-3 years, come with truck, still look brand new)

Snow plow package   Trailer hitch receiver,  cloth captain chairs,  

I ordered the manual front hubs and the manual 4wd shifter. I do not like the automatic and electronic crap. I have several friends who have had nothing but issues with the electronic.

The reason I had all of the available packages put on was that each one had something different in it.

This truck is sitting bare bones stock. It sits higher than my buddies F350 because of the spring packages.

Items I added

Tires and wheels. The tires DO NOT RUB.  They are in excellent shape. One year I had it in the mountains and had bad weather. I got sick and did not get it cleaned for a few weeks. The wheels got a little corrosion on them that you can see if you look close at the pics.  The original wheels are premium high polished aluminum and come with the truck if you want them.

Rear air assist air bags, can be seen in the pics. I run 5-8 lbs in them so that it does not drop when my quad is in the back. They do not harshen the ride.

Side and rear windows are tinted

Rear tonneau cover, May not be snapped in pics, but it is now and the print marks you see in the pics is from being rolled up. They do come out.

I changed my brakes and rotors just because of age, The pads were still 80% or better. I put slotted/dimpled rotors which have a lifetime no warp warranty. I do not know if it is transferrable.

It has a K&N air filter

Brake controller mounted I believe with velcro in the little cubby hole in the dash.

I have used Mobil one synthetic oil since after break in. It does not use any oil at all and has NO leaks.

Performance on the V10 is very impressive. The engine does not have to work hard at all. Around town and any towing will be 10 MPG just about always consistent. On the highway I have seen 14 MPG but again that is Highway running 65-75 mph. When I bought the truck I made chart comparisons with V10 vs diesel. Although the diesel hp and torque were higher, In the long run it never would have paid off for me. The cost of the diesel option, the extra cost of servicing and the fact that the fuel mileage is very comparible with diesel, and being 40 cents average higher per gallon, it did not make sense. This is my 2nd V10 and I would do it all over again. I have seen the banks Performance package numbers which wake this engine up even more.

Canadian buyers responsible for any paperwork to cross the border and all arrangements.

Local pick up. If you want it shipped its up to you, I will be available for shipper to pick it up. I can deliver for a fee depending where to. All money must be clear before truck is released. If you have concerns, I urge anyone to have a third party inspection. I will take it to any local shop of your choice.

10 yers old so no warranty expressed or implied, as is so be sure before you bid.

Any questions I can and will answer. I reserve the right to end auction early for any reason. If we meet reserve the auction will not end early so again I would ask you to bid only if you can follow through.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging

Tue, Mar 31 2015

The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.

With contract expiration days away, UAW targets GM first for negotiations

Tue, Sep 3 2019

The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday said that it would target General Motors as the first of the Detroit automakers for talks ahead of the current four-year contract's expiration on Sept. 14. This year's contract talks between the union and GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV are expected to be contentious as U.S. new vehicle sales are slowing and automakers face rising costs associated with the development of electric vehicles and self-driving cars. Rising healthcare costs, job security, profit sharing and the use of temporary workers are expected to be major sticking points. GM in particular has been a target of union ire since announcing the closure of five North American plants late last year. That move drew a wave of criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly prodded GM and last week said the No. 1 U.S. automaker should begin moving its operations in China back to the United States. "We are prepared and we are all ready to stand up for our members, our communities and our manufacturing future," UAW President Gary Jones said in a statement. In a statement, GM said, "We look forward to having constructive discussions with the UAW on reaching an agreement that builds a strong future for our employees and our business." The contracts come at a difficult time for the UAW, as a federal corruption investigation into the union continues to grow. Last week, the FBI conducted searches at Jones' home, a union retreat and multiple other locations, including the home of the union's previous president, Dennis Williams. To date, seven people linked to the union and the automaker have been sentenced in the government's corruption investigation. Reporting by Nick Carey.
