(143798 miles) It has the original paint on it with some of the clear coat pealing in spots. Paint is faded. The sunroof has rust spots as seen in photo of roof but not through.

The engine runs and sounds great. It is a 2.5L V6 with an automatic transmission.
This car is optioned with PS, PDB front and rear, PW, PDL, Sunroof, AC, Aluminum wheels. Driver seat has power lumbar and bolster adjustments. The headlights do pop up when turned on.
AC is working and blows cool air. May need a slight top up to blow cold air.
The sunroof tries to move but is stuck. 
The tires are 225/50R16. Fronts are Uniroyal Tiger Paws that are @9/32'' tread. Rears are Goodyear Eagle GTII that are @5/32'' and 6/32''.
There is body work issues as seen in photos. Driver side rocker panel is rusted out, pass side is not as bad. The trunk area is showing no rust. There are two plastic GT panels missing on the driver side. I will try to locate these if possible. Please look at photos.
If you need more photos please ask and I will send more on request.

This car can be restored or would make a great parts car or repair the rusted areas and use as a daily driver. Great potential. 
This car is sold as is.  

US buyers please check with US Customs as you may need a broker to assist in getting this vehicle into the US at a further cost to you. 

If you have any questions please ask and I will respond asap.


Thank you for looking.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
