Car has extremely low mileage for the year. I've had the car for a couple years to get me back and forth to school and I have a new car now, so this one is taking up space in the drive way. The car has been sitting since last fall.

The Good:
Ice Cold A/C
Newer water pump
Newer thermostat
New dual exhaust system
New Radiator
Low Mileage

The Bad:
Battery dead (needs to be charged from sitting)
Currently it does not have any heat.

Blown head gasket???

When I bought it in 2012 the guy told me the motor was blown up (blown head gasket). I got a good deal on it and had intensions of replacing the motor. The problem was the motor was overheating. I looked further into it and discovered the thermostat was bad and the water pump was bad. I changed those two things and I've been driving it on a daily basis until last fall.

The reason the heat does not work in it is because the previous owner put a bunch of stop leak in the system and the heater core is plugged. I've changed the heater core once and flushed it out multiple times and it's plugged up again.
The brakes need some attention in the front. Tires have about 25% left on them. This car will get you to point A to point B. There is very little rust on the car for it's age. Body is in great shape. There are some scratches and some dings throughout the body. Check engine light on. Car runs smooth. Rocker panels are a little rusty (looks like someone did previous work to them). More Pictures with requests!

The car may or may not have a blown head gasket... I've been driving the car how it is for the past two years now without any problems besides the heat. Then again, it does have stop leak in the system which could be sealing the gasket? Runs and drives great! Very reliable. Clean and clear title in hand.

Vehicle is sold "AS IS" with no warranty. Buyer is responsible for pick up the vehicle. Pick up only! If buyer wants vehicle shipped, it is the buyer's responsibility to come up with a shipping company and cover all shipping costs. I will drive the vehicle to the location of the shipping company if it is in a reasonable distance.

$500 deposit is due within 48hrs of committing to buy. The rest will be due when vehicle is picked up.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
