Here is a 1988 Ford f250 for sale that I purchased in 2006 from a guy in Portland, Oregon area. I used it to haul plywood and things from Lowes, Home Depot, ect. Also used it to get to work once when my main vehicle was in the shop. It isn't a show truck, but it is a good hauler or work truck. It has some scratches, small dents, blemishes, etc. but not all that bad for a truck thats 25 years old. It hasn't been beaten, used as a farm truck, or been out going through mud holes while in my possession. Reason I'm selling is because most of my home projects are done, and rarely drive the truck anymore. So I would rather someone use it than have it as a lawn ornament. It has been a good truck for me and has been giving oil changes and tune-ups as scheduled for routine maintenance. If it ever needed anything I would do my best to get it fixed... since I've owned it the only work that has been needed is battery replacement, Altenator replacement, and fuel tank selector valve. Other items include fuel filter replaced (just because it never had been), changed both brake calipers (driver side had a issue) and regular oil changes, plugs wires, brake pads, air filters, etc.... With the history of the truck out of the way, here is a list of pros and cons....
PROS:
- Not a Rust bucket. (some rust as shown in pictures)
- Runs like it should.
- Shifts like it should.
- 4x4 works like it should.
- Recently had tune up/ oil change.
- (4) New Shocks all around. (less than 100 miles on them)
- (4) New Michelin Tires. (less than 100 miles on them)
- (4) New Chrome Wheels. (less than 100 miles on them)
- New 4-speaker Pioneer stereo put in last year.
- Interior in good condition.
- Doesn't burn oil.
- New lockout hubs (both sides)
- Both gas tanks are used.
- 3/4 ton, 4x4.
- Good heat in winter time.
CONS:
- Bed has some rust. (as shown in pictured)
- Small play in steering wheel. (never really bothered me, but should mention)
- Smallest of oil leak. (Mechanic thinks it may be coming from timing chain cover)
- May have exhaust leak on passenger side exhaust manifold gasket. (not super loud or anything, just noticed worn gasket the last time I installed new plugs/wires)
- Fuel gauge pegs to full reading (when full) and stays there until about half tank.
- A/C unit is all there but needs charged or inspected. (Always drove with windows down)
With the f250 being 25 years old, it is being sold AS-IS. I have done my best to honestly describe the truck to the best of my ability. This is just a good ol truck for somone looking for a hauler/daily/work truck that won't empty your bank account. Also I prefer local pick-up with cash, but will allow shipping if arranged entirley by buyer. Basically payment would be sent cashiers check and cleared by my bank and then I would help with getting it on transfer truck or trailer that you arranged. Any questions please contact me via Ebay message (I will check it a few times a day).......THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Trump wants a trade deal, but South Korea doesn't want US cars
Thu, Jul 6 2017SEOUL - US auto imports from the likes of General Motors and Ford must become more chic, affordable or fuel-efficient to reap the rewards of President Donald Trump's attempts to renegotiate a trade deal with key ally South Korea, officials and industry experts in Seoul say. Meeting South Korean President Moon Jae-in last week in Washington, Trump said the United States would do more to address trade imbalances with South Korea and create "a fair shake" to sell more cars there, the world's 11th largest auto market. "What we really want to say to the United States is: Make good cars, make cars that Korean consumers like." While imports from automakers including Ford, Chrysler and GM more than doubled last year largely thanks to free trade deal which took effect in 2012, sales account for just 1 percent of a market dominated by more affordable models from local giants Hyundai and affiliate Kia. Imports make up just 15 percent of the overall Korean auto market, and are mainly more luxurious models from German automakers BMW and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz, which also benefit from a trade deal with the European Union. "Addressing non-tariff barriers would not fundamentally raise the competitiveness of US cars," a senior Korean government official told Reuters, declining to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject. "What we really want to say to the United States is: Make good cars, make cars that Korean consumers like." TASTE BARRIER In Korea, US imports are seen as lagging German brands in brand image, sophistication and fuel economy, industry experts say. US imports do have a competitive advantage in electric cars: Tesla Motors' electric vehicles are seen as both environmentally friendly and trendy, while GM has launched a long-range Bolt EV. US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had cited a quota in the current trade deal as an obstacle to boosting imports. The quota allows US automakers to bring in each year 25,000 vehicles that meet US, not necessarily Korean, safety standards. Should GM, for example, decide to bring in more than its quota of one model - the Impala sedans - it would cost up to $75 million to modify the cars to meet Korean safety standards, the company told its local labor union. Asked about non-tariff barriers, a spokesman at GM's Korean unit said removing them could expand the range of models the company can bring in from the United States. No US company, however, has yet to make full use of the quota, industry data shows.
Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
Weekly Recap: Audi pulls back the curtain on its future
Sat, Aug 22 2015The E-Tron Quattro concept is the future of Audi. It embodies all of the traits that will make the brand – and electric-powered luxury vehicles – more relevant into the 2020s. Here's why: The E-Tron Quattro concept, which will debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a large sport utility vehicle that promises a range of 311 miles. It's an all-electric daily driver that fits the needs of most Americans. In production – which Audi says starts in 2018 – this vehicle will seat five and likely be called the Q6. You can take your family from Boston to Philadelphia without recharging. That's mainstream. We're moving away from the industry's "science experiment" era (as General Motors product chief Mark Reuss once described the appearance of the first gen-Chevy Volt) to a period where electric vehicles are plausible and practical for many US buyers. The 2018 Q6's only holdup for the masses will be price. But if you can afford an Audi SUV, you'll be able to buy an all-electric version. The E-Tron concept uses Volkswagen Group's second-generation modular longitudinal platform. The lithium-ion battery is located between the axles and below the cabin. Urquhart says the production model will feature the automaker's latest battery technology developed with LG Chem and Samsung. IHS Automotive projects the Q6 will sell more than 40,000 units annually by the end of the decade. "The E-Tron Quattro is a precursor for what will be an exciting and landmark production model for Audi and will position the brand at the forefront of the premium EV market," IHS analyst Tim Urquhart wrote in a commentary. It's the Tesla-zation of America. It's the Tesla-zation of America. The Q6 will be a Model X fighter, and expect other automakers to follow suit, particularly in the luxury sector with SUVs and other large vehicles. They offer more space for the battery packs, and development costs can be recovered easier. "Premium brands have an inbuilt advantage in terms of introducing [electric] powertrains over more mainstream automotive brands," Urquhart wrote. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Analyst says Tesla stock could be worth $465 a share Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas sent shockwaves through the industry when he said Tesla stock has the potential to reach a whopping $465 a share. That's a leap from its $230.77 price at Friday's market close.
