We understand that buying a vehicle online can sometimes leave you un-easy. We are aware that there are other dealers online that do not fully describe the vehicles listed. They might leave important information out, or not have a thorough description of that item.

Our goal is simple. Word of mouth and return business is something we take very serious! We achieve this by providing you with all of the information YOU need to make a comfortable decision, and hopefully proceeding to your investment, a vehicle! We strive for A+ satisfaction. We do not want to waste anyone’s time, and definitely don’t want to mislead you. This is why we inform you of EVERYTHING we know, and provide you with detailed descriptions and conditions of the item for sale.

We have a 2005 Ford Ranger REFRIGERATOR TRUCK! With great mileage, fuel economy, and a huge maintenance log, this vehicle is proven to bring in more money for many years to come! The maintenance log is about 4" thick of receipts of all the maintenance that was even done to the vehicle. This small truck can get almost 30 MPG on the highway, this is the most fuel efficient refrigerator truck on eBay in a while.

The INTERIOR is in good shape. There is wear showing on the driver seat, but it is only cosmetic. This can be repaired or replaced by a professional for a couple hundred dollars. The radio works like it should. There are a lot less things to break in this vehicle, the windows work properly and the seats too. The controls to the refrigeration unit are in working order. There is a red and blue button that illuminate when pressed. I assume the red one is for heat, to melt any ice build up, but you can hear the fan kick on. The actual heat and a/c for the cab work also.

The EXTERIOR is solid with just a cosmetic dent on the driver's door. This can be worked on by a professional to be smooth again, or just put your logo right over it. That would be the cheaper, most effective route. The gas cap is missing, but can be replaced. The refrigeration unit is in good shape. The latches work properly and shut securely. The inside of the unit looks good and does not smell bad. The tires have plenty of tread left and will not need replacing anytime soon. There is a rust spot I noticed, on the driver door at the bottom. I didn't see any holes or anything, this is mostly surface rust, not structural. In my option this will last for years if its not treated. Other than that driver door the exterior is in great shape!

MOTOR/HANDLING: There really isn't much to say about this truck, the mileage is pretty good, its newer, and there is a ton of service receipts from the original owner, so you know this vehicle was maintained very well and cared for by the right people. The engine starts right up and idles just fine. The transmission is smooth and the acceleration is just how it should be. The brakes stop the vehicle great. The powered steering is smooth and the turning radius is actually nice. Making tight turns in the city would be very easy in this vehicle.

If you run a business and you are trying to manage expenses, or if your expanding, this Ford Ranger is perfect. The cost to maintain this vehicle is noticeably cheaper and the gas mileage is a lot better than a full size pick up. The mileage is just right and its comforting knowing that there is a book of receipts of the work that has been completed before your possession. Thank you for looking and happy bidding! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you are interested in making an offer. -Daryl

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.

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.
