THIS IS A FANTASTIC, FUN TO DRIVE CAR FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY.    IT HAS LEATHER RECARO SEATS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE AND A SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION.

My SVT has under 37,000 miles (36,113 as of 6/16 @ 10:03EDT but I am still driving it regularly).   I bought it from an older gentleman (in his 60's....I am 58) who said that he'd owned it almost since it was new.    I've only put around 5,000 miles on the car....I mostly commute to work on a scooter.   I have been gentle with the car and I believe the previous owner was, also.


The SVT's interior is very good.   I'm sure it isn't perfect but nothing comes to mind.   It has leather Recaro seats up front with seat heaters.  It has a glass sunroof.    I'm not sure if the lighter/power outlets work---I've never used either of them.   It has a  CD changer (that I've never used) and, since the radio sounds great, I'm figuring it has an upgraded sound system.    

The exterior looks good.  The paint is very good.  There are a few little parking lot dimples and there is some residue of what likely was overspray (inside of gas access door, on bottom bolt in right rear fender well, below gas access door....nothing on rubber trim and nothing I've seen elsewhere).    This is noticeable only upon very close inspection.   I got a "clean" CarFax when I bought it and I've had no accidents.  The glass is all fine.  It has fog lights.  The bumpers and side skirts are in very good shape.   The headlight lenses are cloudy.

Mechanically, the car is in very good shape. The engine accelerates smoothly.   The (6 speed) transmission shifts well.   It drives straight and stops straight.  The clutch engages early in it's travel and seems fine.  The tires are good.   The check engine light has come on a few times with a code indicating the car isn't heating up fast enough (P0125).  This is, apparently (based on my Internet research), a common issue with the SVT.  I have put a piece of tape on the lower grill to block air flow and that, along with the Florida summer heat, appears to have taken care of the problem...for now.   When the summer is over, I believe it will need a new thermostat.   In the meantime, the engine heats up properly and attains (according to the Temperature Gauge and the Oil Temperature Gauge) normal operating temperatures....it just, I guess, sometimes takes longer than the computer thinks it should.

The tires appear to be good.  The rims are good (I have no doubt that they are not perfect).   

I have had no mechanical issues except for: 1) The code (see above)  2) The "door open" indicator light staying lit.   Following instructions I found on the internet, I sprayed some cleaner around the door locks and that fixed it.  3) The front windshield wipers don't park (at the bottom of the windshield) on their own most of the time.

The a/c blows cold.  The previous owner reports having had the condenser(?) replaced.   I do have at least some of his records.   Besides an oil change and cleaning the door-close sensors, I haven't had to do anything.

There is some wrinkled paint on the exhaust(?) manifold.

Please feel free to email me questions.    

Because it is used, the car will be sold "as is".   I will be available for a shipper to pick up after payment in full has cleared.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.    The car will be available for pickup during the day in downtown West Palm Beach---a few miles from the local airport, PBI.   I am not available to pick up the buyer at the airport.   
  
I have clean title in my possession.   The car will have to be registered in the name of the new owner if it going to be driven off but I would deliver it, after payment in full has cleared, within 50 miles of downtown West Palm Beach.
 
Since it is used, the car will be sold "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS".

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
