You are bidding on: 2005 Mustang with 4.0L V6. I am selling on behalf of current owner that now needs a larger vehicle for a growing family. This is your opportunity to purchase a great looking, great performing Mustang at a price much lower than your local dealer or Kelley Blue Book value. Vehicle has passed annual NC state inspection, and is ready for a new owner. Mustang is sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Vehicle will also be listed for sale locally. However, once bids are received for this no reserve auction you are bidding to win. Please review the entire review of Mustang listed below in BOLD prior to bidding. Bidders with no prior feedback on eBay must contact before bidding, otherwise your bid will be removed.

I've purchased several vehicles through eBay Motors, and realize how important an accurate description is when buying/selling a vehicle online. Although most vehicle purchase transactions have exceeded my expectations, there are unfortunately some sellers that will over promise, and under deliver.

My objective is the opposite: to provide you with factual, non-biased information, and assist you throughout the purchasing process to ensure your new vehicle is equal to, or even better than your expectations. The review of the Mustang may be lengthy, but I want to give you as much information as possible. Inspections are encouraged, test drives are welcome, and I am available via e-mail or phone to answer any questions you may have. If local inspection or test drive isn't an option for you, I can provide a video of component of the vehicle you're interested in upon request.

I've had the opportunity to drive this Mustang several times recently. Not only is it a good looking vehicle, it is also enjoyable to drive and reliable. I am impressed with the strong suspension, tight steering, and smooth engine. This Mustang delivers surprising performance alongside great gas mileage. Oil and filter were just changed, and there are no known mechanical issues. The current owner is the 3rd owner of the vehicle, and the majority of the miles are highway miles. This vehicle shows no signs of abuse. The factory paint still shines, and the interior is definitely well above average condition. This Mustang is a great daily driver, or perfect for fun on the weekend.

Cranks right up. Smooth idle. Engine is quiet. No knocks or strange noises. Steering is tight, suspension is firm. Accelerates smoothly with available V6 power, brakes with force. Tires have at least 50% tread left. (see pictures) All lights, knobs, buttons, and levers function as they should. AC blows ice cold, heat is scorching hot. 6 Disc CD/MP3/AM/FM stereo functions with no blown speakers. Wipers were just replaced, defrost function is impressively quick. Paint is overall in above average condition. Power options include: windows, side view mirrors, drivers seat, door locks. Keyless entry, with both remotes are included.

There are the typical minor rock chips/dings that come with a pre-owned vehicle. This car is beautiful overall, and only upon close inspection will the imperfections found with any pre-owned vehicle become apparent.

There are dents and scratches on the drivers side rear corner. (see photo)

There are scratches on the drivers side front bumper, and an amateur attempt to touch up a rock chip on the drivers side of hood. (see photo)

The (3) of the premium wheels are in good shape, (1) has significant curb rash, (see photo)

There is a dent/scratch below Mustang graphic on passenger side. This looks like it happened in a parking lot, and is only noticeable when very close to vehicle. (see photo)

There are some scuffs where the rear bumper meets the trunk that appear to have occurred from loading/unloading. (see photos) These should buff out, but I have not attempted to do so.

The tachometer is not functioning. All other gauges are functioning properly. After doing some research online, this appears to be a common issue with 2005 Mustangs. As this car is equipped with automatic transmission, this does not effect daily use or performance. Nor does it in anyway impact any other mechanical component of the vehicle. However, in an effort to provide full disclosure, I want all potential bidders to be aware of anything I've noticed that isn't perfect.

There is water on the ground around the perimeter of the vehicle in some pictures as it was washed prior to photos, but there are no fluid leaks that I've observed.

This Mustang has NOT been professionally detailed. Took the vehicle through a carwash prior to taking photos today. It cleans up well, and will look even sharper after waxing. A speed buffer and touch up paint would make this car look close to showroom new, but I will leave that up to the new owner. I did not clean the engine off prior to posting, so that you have the opportunity to see what it looks like as-is. Usually, an engine that has been pressure washed or greased up is hiding something. If there is any information you are interested in that I forgot to list, please contact me and I'll be glad to assist you.

Note: As this car is still being driven, mileage will continue to increase. If exact mileage is important to you, please contact before bidding, and I will provide photo of odometer.

Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. Or, you may pick the vehicle up in person. I will be available to coordinate with your shipper.

Deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction end, and is non-refundable. Once payment in full is received, Mustang will be released for shipping or local pick-up. Title and bill of sale will be shipped via UPS with tracking number if vehicle is shipped, or executed in person if you prefer local pickup.

PayPal, Cash, and Bank Certified cashiers check are accepted methods of payment. Please keep in mind that with Paypal or Certified check options, there will be a waiting period until payment clears before vehicle is released.

Again, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I look forward to assisting you.

Thanks for reading, and good luck bidding!

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
