This was my daily driver up until a week ago when the transmission began to act up.  We have been on the market for an SUV so it gave me the excuse to go shop!  

Car was purchased from my boss back in 2008 who is a professional mechanic/detailer. He insured it as part of his company 'fleet', but It was his wife's car, had 48,000 miles when I bought it.  As a company vehicle however it was fully inspected before being sold and checked out.   Since then has had yearly I inspections and has been kept up mechanically very well.  

Interior was also kept up very well.  As I mentioned I work for a professional detailer so it got cleaned very often!  Previous owner was a Light smoker so there are some marks in the upholstery however there is no trace of smell in the car as it has not been smoked in since 2008 and was professionally cleaned.  

It's a great, comfortable car to drive.  As I said only reason for selling is the transmission issue.  The car still drives relatively well at this point, however shifts hard at higher speeds and does not go in reverse or drive in first gear.  The transmission will hold the car in place on a hill in reverse but will not actually power it backwards.  It acts up for a little while before the information center begins to read check transmission. At the same time as the transmission issue the ABS and traction control lights kicked on, I assume that is related but I do not know.  

Besides that, everything works with the exception of the windshield wash which needs nothing more than the hose replaced.  It separated and at the moment is washing the engine instead of the windshield!  The outside is in decent shape as well.  Only things to note are a blemished back bumper from backing into a cart keeper in a parking lot (is not cracked, the paint just began to chip after the impact), a chip out of the driver tail light but light is not fogged up at all and a decent scratch in the front hood from when one of the kids, god love them, tried to shovel the snow off my car >.< 

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.  Email me with any questions or if you would like to set up a time to view the vehicle.  As I said it does drive, but I do not know how much longer it will.  You may certainly try to drive it home and have it towed from where it stops, or tow it the entire way.  If your lucky maybe it'll make it the whole way!

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
