Thank you for viewing my auction. I am selling my 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Car is black in color with gray interior. It has a little over 216,392 miles on it and recently had spark plugs, spark plug wires, and a new coil replaced. Car has been running great as I used it to travel to and from work about 26 miles total a day. I am selling it as we are saving for a bigger vehicle as we have two children. Their is noticeable rust on the top of the car as the paint has peeled off and a some damage to a fender from the previous owner. Both can be easily replaced. The front bumper cover has a temp fix on it as it was cracked. The passenger door handle probably needs looked at or replaced as well as the hatch latch in the back. This car would be a decent to and from work car as I have used it for since 2009. The stereo works great, drives decent (could use an alignment). The front passenger side sway bar link needs replaced (I have the new part to give). I have had regular oil changes done, replaced transmission fluid and filter, new air filter and cabin filter, brakes are very good. Their is a few cigarette burn in the interior from a previous owner (I do not smoke), the car has no odor. The exterior license plate light trim broke off but a replacement can be found. The original key cylinder was replaced as it had a known defect and locked up on me. Car will come with 3 keys, and 2 key fobs. Car also gets great gas mileage of about 25mpg and even up to 28mpg. With a new paint job and a little more TLC you'll have a decent car for safe, reliable, travel. The AC also work fine for a month or two after being recharged. The ac compressor needs replaced as it squeals when the ac is turned on. The ties are all relatively new except the front drivers side is showing some toe wear. I have also replaced many other parts on this car including a new radiator, new rear swaybar linkage and bushings, new front struts. I have the majority of all receipts and service records if requested. Car has a fully functional spare tire, jack, and trunk lining. I have repaired 3 small chips in the windshield by safelite auto glass repair ( you won't even know its there till I point it out). I'm also going to include a Garmin Streetpilot C330 GPS unit that I installed. Other than that, shoot me an email with any other questions. Please only serious bidders. Winning bid will accept purchase AS IS based on the the description and pictures provided. I have done the best to describe vehicle as accurate as possible. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up. Title WILL be released upon verification that the car is insured by new owner and temporary plates have been issued. I will be more than willing to provide a bill of sale upon request. Deposit or full amount is due within 48 hours with remainder due at time of pickup.

Autoblog Minute: VW Emissions Scandal, New Ford Super-Duty

Fri, Sep 25 2015

We got our first looks at look at Ford's new Super Duty truck lineup this week but it's Volkswagen that has been dominating the news cycle, as Matthias Muller is named CEO of the embattled automaker. Autoblog's Senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] We got our first looks at look at Ford's new Super Duty truck lineup this week but it's Volkswagen that has dominated the news cycle as Matthias Muller is named CEO of the embattled automaker. I'm Senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Super Duty is new for 2017. Our first look at these heavy duty trucks showed increased cab space for passengers, and [00:00:30] a lighter aluminum frame. Ford insists these changes will provide customers with increased towing capacity and fuel efficiency. The all-new Super Duty will be built at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, and it goes on sale in late 2016. Now, in case you missed it Volkswagen is under fire for gaming EPA emissions testing. A massive government recall is in the works and the world's top-selling automaker is looking at significant losses in both car sales and its stock value. On top of losing billions of dollars, Volkswagen is also facing [00:01:00] legal issues. And this week we saw Martin Winterkorn step down as CEO of Volkswagen Group. These changes mark just the beginning of VW's arduous process of rebuilding consumer trust. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, plus some added insight on the Buick Cascada and its pricing strategy. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.

Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
