Selling a yellow 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 - going to college as freshman and can't have a car. I bought it as a first car from a women who kept it in pretty good condition because her daughters boyfriend was a NASCAR mechanic and worked on the car if there was a problem.

When I got the car the radio did not work, so I had to go out and buy a new one. I bought a brand new Kenwood stereo system with a CD player, USB port, AUX input, FM/AM Radio, and Pandora capabilities costing a total amount of about $300.  I also had all 4 tires replaced on the car only a couple of months ago so all the tires are brand new and ready to drive safely ($500 at Costco)
However there are some problems that go with the car as well:
  • The vehicle report shows two accidents that were reported by the previous owner - the repair estimate addresses the strut and engine mout/frame alignment in their estimate - I still drive it though.
  • The back small triangle window on the passanger side is broken, but its covered over with duct tape.
  • There needs to be a new tie rod replaced on the front
  • There needs to be a replaced motor mount.
  • Car can be driven but my parents won't let me.

I took the car to our local mechanic and have added the description of what they said needs to be fixed. Quotes have run from $600 - $2000 to fix and I don't have the money. Since I'm going to school and can't have a car, I have to sell it so I don't have to pay insurance on it. (I've uploaded a picture of that estimate as well - $1500 - but thats in Bernardsville NJ - which is always a rip - but it's my folks garage.)

paid $2700 for the car in Aug. 2012. It's valued on KBB at $3600 and I put over $800 into it with the tires and radio. So I have over $3500 invested.

Conditions of Sale:

  • No Reserve - someone will win.
  • Have to pick up within 5 days of auction close with auction win amount.
  • Paypal in advance or cash at pickup
  • Car is sold as is as stated.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
