I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, so I need to sell the car as soon as possible.

Other
92,450 miles
Nearly brand new front tires (only 3k miles)
Nearly brand new battery and starter (less than 3k miles)

Factory owners manual

Operating

All features are fully functional (power locks, windows, radio, head lights, etc.).
Air Conditioning and Heating work excellent.
The parking/emergency brake light is illuminated on the instrument panel (this light came on about 3 months ago). I had this inspected by Goodyear when I had the oil changed and they said it’s a $15 switch that has to be replaced. They didn’t have the switch on hand or I would have had it fixed.  

History

The city of Champaign is the original owner.  The car was used by traffic meter staff for the 7 years it was owned by the city of Champaign. I have all of the original service records for the time the car was owned by the city of Champaign. The city performed all scheduled preventative maintenance in line with the factory recommendations. Thus the car runs like new.

I purchased the car from the City of Champaign in April of 2010 with 82,000 miles. The car currently has 92,450 miles. Since I live in the city, I have only used the car for trips to the grocery store, airport, etc. Thus I have only put 10,000 miles on the car in 3.5 years. Since I have owned the car I have had the oil changed every 3-4 months and minor maintenance, including:

  •          Replacing belt tensioner and belt in August of 2010 with 82,500 miles
  •          Having air conditioning serviced in July of 2012 with 88,500 miles
  •          Purchasing new front tires in August of 2012 with 89,000 miles (40,000 mile limited warranty)
  •          Replacing battery in September 2012 with 89,500 miles
  •          Replacing starter in October of 2012 with 90,000 miles

The car was in a minor front end collision in August of 2011 (5-10 mph). The air bags did not deploy. The hood buckled as a result of the accident and was therefore replaced in August of 2011. You will notice from the pictures that the hood is a slightly different color than the rest of the body as the hood was replaced with a factory hood from a lighter blue Taurus. This is a minor cosmetic issue and can be fixed by having the hood painted or replaced.  

Also, girlfriend hit a pole while parking in 2011. You can see the scratch on passenger side rear door/quarter panel.  Also minor (1 inch) dent (was there when I purchased) near the passenger side door handle.

Price

KBB.com notes the following:

Excellent:            $3,557

Very Good:          $3,332
Good:                   $3,207
Fair:                     $2,807

Given the cosmetic damages on the exterior, the car falls into the Good category (mechanically it would fall under Excellent).


Since I no longer have garage parking at my building and I am moving overseas at the beginning of the year, I need to sell the car as soon as possible. As such, I am listing the car for $2,500 OBO. I have a free and clear title in hand ready to go.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
