This has been a very good and reliable car for us. We just finally bought a new car so this is now available. We live in a suburb of San Diego, in No. County, close to the beginning of entering the city. Our adult son previously owned this; we've had it for over 8 years, I believe. It has never been in an accident and no cigarette smokers have ever smoked in this car! I drive it probably 200 miles a month - I'm getting up there in age, I guess. Has two tiny dings: one on rear side door on driver's side and another on same side over wheel well (both pictured). Only other finish complaint is a small crease (6" long?) below driver's door, pictured but hard to notice. Otherwise, paint is virtually perfect - no peeling, fading, etc. Still very glossy. Tires are xln't (Michelin) and have a loooooong time to go yet. A/C compressor and serpentine belt was replaced in Nov., 2013 - almost $1,000 - so it's also xln't & freezing cold when needed and the fuel pump was replaced two months ago ($450). Interior is also superior as pics indicate. Some cracking of the leather on driver's seat but only on the leading edge of the seat in the area closest to the door, otherwise all terrific condition. I'm a very honest person (probably too much so) so I'm listing ANYTHING I can think of that you would want to know about this car that is less than perfect: there is some moisture behind plastic lens on headlight on passenger side; there is a small drip of oil underneath vehicle that we've had for 2 years but it's so slow that it doesn't "pay" to have the seal (I guess) replaced. My husband never has to fill the oil tank because of it. The light for the radiator water sensor comes on most of the time. It is due to the sensor not working right. Whenever we lift the hood and slightly "adjust/move" the large, white plastic container that holds the water overflow for the radiator, then the light goes off but as soon as the car goes over a bump, it returns and comes back on. It's done it for 10 years. Not worth fixing. Although I never have to change the driver's seat position, the power seat doesn't always want to move forward or back unless you press your foot down hard on the foot rest area. The rear seat-backs fold down - either for raising up a child seat (I'm presuming) but certainly to carry something long in the trunk and protrude through the opening into the rear cabin ... skis? wood? supplies? In the center console that has a pop-up and padded armrest, you will find the 6-disc CD player - I've never used it but my son said it always worked great. What I really love about this car is that it's fun to drive - you really get a "feel" for the road, like a sports car, and it has a LOT of zip. If you suddenly need to step on the accelerator, you know it will respond with a lot of guts - that gives me a lot of security. The registration is paid until mid-July. Car has ALWAYS passed smog test; buyer will pay for any new smog certificate.
If you have ANY questions about this car, please call and ask questions, AFTER 10:30 a.m. PST, at: 760-758-9222. You are certainly welcome to email any of your questions, also. If you want additional photos, just ask. You are welcome to make an appointment with me to test-drive and inspect this car prior to bidding - however, once the auction is over, the sale is FINAL. This car is running beautifully - I have NO complaints whatsoever. I've tried my best to describe it as honestly as possible but common sense dictates that it is sold in an "as is" condition as I have no control over what you might do to the car once you have possession of it. |

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The 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.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
