Not a bad van, a good van with a lot of miles - being sold as is/where is. 4 Captain seats, the full couch seat in back pulls down to a bed. With almost 200K miles this work horse has a few issues. I bought the van over two years ago as a transitional vehicle - I've transitioned to my next van. Changed the oil regularly with additive. Lots of dings, a couple small dents, a few small rust spots and starting to leak a bit of oil. The check engine light is on, said to be an emissions sensor by two service garages - and not worth fixing. The airbag light comes on intermittently ( I put a new clockspring in when I bought it - not sure if that's the cause of that airbag light), and the service brake lights will come on every once in a while, however the brakes are good and probably have another 20K plus miles on them. Transmission seems good, but sometimes has a few second pause engaging from reverse to drive. Cruise works, AC works some times, power windows all work. There is a (roughly 12") crack in the windshield that happened with a road rock last spring. I stopped it with a window patch kit and it hasn't advanced in over a year - made it through a Chicagoland winter. The secondary doors on both the side and rear have broken cable stops on the handles, so you have to pull the cables to get them open. Just never bothered to fix them. Missing one hub cap. Carpet has stains and wear, interior has wear - but the vehicle doesn't smell like ick. Rubber is pretty good (see pictures) and all the exterior lights work to the best of my knowledge. If I think of anything else positive or negative - I will add it here right away.

I have attached numerous pictures and have a walk around video, which includes start up and engine running - I will send you that video if you ask. The engine runs smooth..

You can visit the vehicle in North Lake County Illinois area - just ask. $100 deposit on PayPal within 12 hours of winning bid. Cash balance or bank check at pick up.

You can drive it home, and with some TLC this beast will go another 100K miles.

This vehicle is listed locally - so I reserve the right to end the listing without notice.

THIS IS A SIX CYLINDER - MY MISTAKE IN DESCRIPTION ENTRY!! I spoke with Ebay and since there is a bid on the item the only way I can change the description is by canceling and relisting the item, which I may do later today.

Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
