Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. 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:"The brakes are spongy, and the lines are rusty. I would go through the entire brake system before feeling confident about whats behind the pedal. The left rear wheel was stuck and took some muscle to get turning. The parking brake doesnt work. The tailgate is shot (rusted though) and doesnt latch- will need a new one from the junk yard. Rusty-especially underneath."
Up for sale is my father's 1986 Ford Escort L diesel wagon with the 2.0l Mazda diesel engine and 5 speed manual transmission. Dad bought her new and drove it lovingly for 304,000miles, regularly changed oil (97 times), changed the timing belt every 80-100k, and logged it all in his log book (included). It has set in the machine shed since 1999, but all I had to do was replace the battery and fuel filter, and it started right up. He got 40-50 mpg. So let's break it down like this:
The Good: That Mazda diesel engine. It will run forever if you take care of it. My dad drove like a Grandpa. Really, he didnt change the brakes until 200k miles. He was the guy you had to pass on the two lane roads going 5 under the speed limit. The interior is good, the radio and tape player work, I'm including the log book and and the tech manuals that he had. Tires are good, but 15 years old. Clutch is strong.
The Bad: The brakes are spongy, and the lines are rusty. I would go through the entire brake system before feeling confident about whats behind the pedal. The left rear wheel was stuck and took some muscle to get turning. The parking brake doesnt work. The tailgate is shot (rusted though) and doesnt latch- will need a new one from the junk yard.
The Ugly: Guys, she's rusty-especially underneath. I live in Minnesota, heart of the rust belt, and between the road salt and the moisture in the barn, the rust cancer has started and taken hold. I am including 4 doors from the junk yard, as the ones on it are flapping in the breeze.
You could drive it out of here, but go easy on the brakes- could break a line if you push too hard.
No reserve on the auction.

Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
