Up for sale is my 1999 Ford Windstar SE minivan. This is the upgraded model with two sliding doors, leather interior, middle captains chairs, and virtually every other factory option included. I've paid for quite a few maintenance items over the last 12 months so you won't have to. These include: new battery, all new front suspension assemblies, and I even had Ford completely replace/upgrade the sub frame which was a free recall on this year/model so you even get a brand new sub frame installed (done). Despite the fairly high mileage, this van starts every day, every time, and runs strong. With the repair listed below completed, this van is likely to run for many more miles and if you're looking for a great deal on a van with an awesome interior/options package, you won't find one nicer than this.

Needed Repair:
The only item that needs repair right now is what my mechanic tells me is the torch converter within the transmission. Despite the actual part not being all that expensive he says the shop that replaces/repairs the transmission will have to take it all apart which is fairly time consuming. I've received one quote for about $1600 for a completely rebuilt transmission to be installed but I'd be willing to be that you could get it done cheaper if you had a transmission shop only replace the torch converter. However, my mechanic recommends that if the cost is close to just go ahead and get a new (rebuilt) trans. so you'll essentially have a new van transmission-wise. I could likely get $3000 for this van if it had no issues but I want to be upfront about this needed repair and it has been built into the price.

Condition: 
This van is the standard Ford light green/gray color. There are a few small misc scuffs on the exterior but nothing more than you'd expect of a vehicle this age. There is a portion of the lower panels near the rear tires that is starting to rust which appears to be completely normal of a Windstar this age as I've seen many around town with similar wear & tear in this pattern. The van has the original/factory V6 engine it in with 162700 miles.  There is one small issue that I wanted to describe though it doesn't impact anything:  the passenger side mirror housing must have been bumped by a pedestrian somewhere along the line because the housing jiggles a bit but the power mirror works fine and there is nothing wrong with the mirror itself.  Again, not a big deal but I want to be perfectly clear with any/all issues with parts.

Overall, this is a great-running van and I'm only selling it because I finally bought a new vehicle, I'm moving out of state for a new job, and I no longer have a need for this van. I've invested over $1000 in upkeep and upgrades to buy new parts and keep the van in good shape (most of that cost was replacing the entire front suspension, springs, housing assembly, etc. I'm located in Traverse City and I own the vehicle free&clear.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

2014 Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrids get deep, deep discount

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Math-phobes may not appreciate all the price discounts available for potential buyers of the Ford C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid. For everyone else, though, break out the calculators and celebrate. Because the plug-ins, or at least the 2014 model-year versions, can be had for as much as a third off. How? Start with $4,000 bonus cash from Ford (double what it used to be) and add another $1,750 in dealer discounts, according to Cars Direct. Additionally, the feds will provide a $4,000 tax incentive, while shoppers in the great state of California might get another $1,500 in clean-vehicle rebates. Add them all up – oh, and another $1,000 thrown in by some dealers – and the MSRP of just under $34,000 gets brought down to less than $22,000 out of pocket. It makes that recent $900 price cut for the model seem pretty minor by comparison, doesn't it. Ford is looking to unload a bunch of 2014 model-year C-Max Energi models after sales, which started strong last year, tapered off in recent months. While Americans boosted C-Max Energi purchases by 18 percent last year to 8,433 units, that year-over-year sales gain had been 58 percent through last June. Meanwhile, January sales were down 16 percent to just 395 units.
