This van runs, drives and stops, but has issues. I drive it everyday and it has not left me stranded

2 owner van, my neighbors were the original owners. The tires have plenty of tread and looks good cosmetically. It is not perfect but it's a solid driver. It has some scratches and dings but its not dented and the paint is in very nice shape. The rocker panel was patched with fiberglass filler and repainted. Not the prettiest repair but it stopped the rust from spreading. The undercarriage of the van is pretty clean and not a totally rotted mess. The rear axle was replaced with a brand new one due to rust. The interior looks good too, no rips or tears, just normal wear. Not perfect, but pretty decent. A solid 7.5/10 interior rand exterior. I just fixed the blend door actuator so the heat blows nice and hot. The van has remote start, back-up beepers, power sliding door, CD player, and side air bags. A/C unknown

There are no check engines lights and no trouble codes however the abs and traction lights are on and the speedometer doesn't work. The odometer stopped working about two weeks ago. It reads 115,634 and I've put another almost 200 miles on since then so actual mileage is about 115,800. The motor has some sort of valve tick or knock from a cylinder head. 2 cylinder heads have already been replaced. It goes away when it warms up, but it's important to know. I drive it every day and it has not left me stranded, but bear in mind you can hear the motor until it warms up and when you accelerate. On a warm day it's not as bad as cold days. Please remember that this vehicle is 14 years old. The van is sold AS-IS. I strongly encourage any perspective buyer to inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. Bidders with less than 5 feedback will have their bids canceled if I'm not contacted first. Local pick-up only. Will not ship under any circumstances. $250.00 deposit due through paypal within 48 hours, the remainder is due in cash upon pick up.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Ford sued by Versata over alleged software trade secret theft

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Automakers are routinely subject to intellectual property and patent disputes, whether over design similarities or pieces of tech. Ford is now facing a lawsuit for alleged IP theft over a piece of software from a company called Versata, and the business wants $1 billion from the Blue Oval for the violation. With such huge amount of money at stake, the legal situation is already getting complicated. According to The Detroit Free Press, Versata's software is designed to help automakers improve product development by making sure all of a car's countless components work together. The company and Ford had a contract for the system for many years, and they were negotiating an extension at the end of 2014. However, the deal fell through, and the Blue Oval ended the two business' arrangement. Making the legal situation especially tricky is that Ford developed and patented its own software for the same task. The automaker then filed a lawsuit in Michigan to have the court check whether the program violated Versata's IP, according to The Detroit Free Press. Later, the software company registered a lawsuit in Texas and alleged the Blue Oval stole proprietary code. Versata has asked for an injunction against Ford and restitution. "Ford's patented software does not use or infringe any Versata intellectual property and Versata has provided no basis for their claims against us," the automaker said in a statement to Autoblog. "We are confident that we will ultimately prevail in this case and we look forward to the opportunity to present our evidence at trial." With both sides in dispute, that leaves Ford pushing for a hearing in Michigan and Versata for Texas. According to The Detroit Free Press, it could be at least a year before a trial, if not longer. Of course in the meantime, the two sides could conceivably reach a settlement, and the whole issue would disappear.
