EXTENDED CAB - 5 SPEED MANUAL

Pictures High Resolution -- Please allow time to load!
Vehicle Description: This is a 7-Day NO RESERVE auction for a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT! HIGH BIDDER WINS! Rare 4-cyl / 5-speed manual combination in an Extended Cab Ranger! This truck is far from perfect, but with some work this can be a fuel efficient workhorse again. Please read the entire description before you bid! The 4-cylinder engine appears to run smoothly and has plenty of power. The transmission goes into every gear and the clutch appears to hold well, but occasionally it can be a little difficult to it into gear (usually it goes right in, sometimes you have to give it a little extra push). I am selling this vehicle as true mileage unknown because the odometer and speedometer do not work. I do not know how long it has been this way and have no way to estimate the mileage. This Ranger features the XLT package and includes power windows, power locks, sliding rear glass window, and more. I have not noticed any leaks on the ground where this Ranger has been sitting but there may be some normal fluid seepage consistent with a 17 year old vehicle. The brakes stop the car smooth and straight. The suspension, especially in the front, is rather worn. This Ranger goes pretty straight down the road, although the steering wheel is turned slightly when the truck is going straight but it does not pull. All of the tires have some drivable tread remaining. The spare tire is missing and the right front wheel does not match (appears to be off a newer year Ranger). The climate control appears to be in working condition except the A/C blows warm. The radio works and so do the speakers. The "Door Ajar" light never goes out, even when the doors all appear to be properly shut. There are no other check engine or other "dummy lights" illuminated. The exhaust is loud. Cosmetically -- this Ranger is not the prettiest. Please see pictures, there is considerable rust and the driver's front fender is damaged. Includes a locking paint-matched hard fiberglass tonneau cover but I can't get it to sit properly so it is a little propped up (I have not tried to fix this very much). The interior would benefit from a good cleaning but it is all there. Small rip in the driver side bolster. The driver's seatbelt is not securing into the clip (not properly functioning). This truck does need some work so please bid accordingly! I have tried my best to represent this vehicle accurately and to the best of my abilities. Earning and keeping a 100% positive feedback rating is very important to me! I test drive each vehicle on the expressway and around town for at least 20 miles, often over 100 miles, and use that experience to represent the vehicle to you on eBay. Please remember that you are buying a used vehicle and that a certain amount of wear/use/flaws are to be expected on any used vehicle -- including this one. You are welcome and encouraged to come check out this vehicle for yourself and take it for a test drive before the auction ends. Feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions and I will do my best to answer them. Auction Details & Payment Information: The vehicle is for sale locally as well so auction can end at any time. Bid with confidence as I have represented the vehicle well. There will be a $100 documentation fee added on to each vehicle sold. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending via paypal. The remaining balance will need to be paid within 7 days of the end of the auction by Cash or Cashier's Check. If you need financing, please have that arranged BEFORE the auction ends. We are a licensed used vehicle dealer and must collect sales tax/title/plate fees so please contact me prior to the auction ending if you want to know what fees you will have to pay on top of the purchase price. Michigan residents will pay 6% sales tax, $15 title fee, and whatever your plate ends up being. For out of state buyers, each state is a different tax/title scenario. If this is a concern, please contact me before the auction ends and I will tell you exactly how much (if any) tax will be for your state. Any New eBay bidders or those with zero feedback, please send us a message or give me call to confirm your contact information or your bid will be canceled. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. We will work with your shipper to help them in any way we can. We are located in Southeast Michigan in the Metro Detroit area. We can pick up from Detroit Metro Airport or Detroit Amtrak station for free. Vehicle is available for local viewing just contact me to set an appointment! Thanks. Michael @ 734-717-3653. Contact Information: Feel free to call or text me any time at 734-717-3653. The vehicle is located in Eastpointe, MI. Please call ahead for an appointment to view. High Resolution Pictures: |

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.
Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
