For Sale:  1995 Mustang Convertible – 3.8 Liter V6, Automatic Transmission, and an original car with original paint and a very clean interior and a new top and tires. This is a two-owner, non-smoking    family car that it used for weekends and around town errands and was previously used for college transportation. Now everyone has graduated, car gets only occasional use, so it needs a new home.  It is selling without reserve for a fair price, given upkeep etc…. Car is located in Central Illinois (zip 60970) and is an everyday driver (good mpg) with a clear, clean title and all maintenance done etc…*****

Car has 148,000 original miles and runs and drives great - pictures were taken at our local dealership  as I had the car gone over mechanically prior to listing it; required repairs and lube were done. Car has previously had its timing chain redone, head gaskets redone, intake gasket redone (typical repairs on these), new mass air flow sensor, alternator (last year), new main drive belt and the factory cassette unit was replaced with a factory Ford AM/FM stereo CD unit when the car went to college. Within the last two years we did new struts up front, shocks in the back, new convertible top (tan $2100), rack and pinion steering rack replaced (rebuilt $400) with pump flush and refill, tune up, and new injectors (rebuilt ones). Pulling it out of storage as we decided to sell it, a new set of Goodyear radial tires all around (w/alignment $830), and a new battery from the Ford dealer were installed.  Fluids and filters are up-to-date and always have been maintained.*****   

Car runs and drives great and is used off and on during good weather here in Illinois. Car needs only its headlight lens polished out as they are yellowing slightly, there is a small tear in the seat material on just the driver’s side as shown, and the floor mats were shot from use so it will need a new set. Body-wise there is no rust on the body, there is one area on the driver’s rear quarter panel (top lip) where the clear paint coat is starting to peel, but minor (paint is original on the car). The hood on the car also has some chips and some imperfections in the paint given age, but still very presentable. Top is perfect on the car (pictures shows it slightly still wet in parts given the shop’s courtesy wash). Mechanic showed me the underside of the car on the rack and it also is very presentable with minimal rust, just usual wear. Driver’s door pinstripe is also slightly worn given top down, arm on door edge driving!*****  

Car is selling on eBay with no reserve, I don’t have it for sale locally and won’t do so locally till later this Spring if it does not sell. Deposit by Paypal of $1000 within three days of sale’s end, balance to be paid by either cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer prior to coming for the car (call for bank name, bank contact, and account/routing numbers) within two weeks after depositing. I will receipt new owner for each step in the payment process. If not picking up and paying within two weeks, car can stay stored here for 30 days at no cost as long as it is fully paid for (bank wire option). After 30 days, I will be unable to return the deposit funds, however, I will return the rest of the funds. I am just looking to find a new owner for this nice car and to get some of my garage space back! Please feel free to contact me with questions, come personally or send someone to look at and try the car if needed, or contact me with any other needs. Can’t hardly buy a running/driving convertible car, with no issues or rust, for under $4000!*****

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.

American Suzuki gets $100M in financing to go out of business... buy more cars?

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC), which declared bankruptcy in early November, has been approved by the courts for up to $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing to enable it to shutter its US car business. ASMC had received a $45 million loan from the Japanese parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), last month in order to make repayment deals with its franchise dealers. At the same time, ASMC was awaiting final court approval of this larger loan.
Out of the newly approved funds, $50 million can be used for operations, and oddly, the other $50 million can be put toward purchases of new inventory from SMC. That's right, even as existing inventory was headed for a smooth exit with the help of incentives, customer demand for orphan Suzuki models is so strong - last month's sales were up 22 percent compared to 2011 - that ASMC plans to purchase 2,500 additional cars from SMC that were built after the bankruptcy announcement. Good news for the owners of those vehicles: the top 50 dealers, representing more than 98 percent of ASMC sales, will become parts and services centers.
The press release below has more information. Unlike its recent tenure here, the end of Suzuki cars in the US looks like it's going rather well.

Suzuki recalling 200K crossovers over airbag woes

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Suzuki may not be selling any new cars in the US anymore, but there are still plenty of them on American roads. Nearly 200,000 of those will need to be taken off said roads - for a little while, at least.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for 2006-2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara SUVs and 2007-2011 SX4 crossovers due to a faulty airbag sensor. The issue apparently results from the front passenger-side floor mat causing the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor to malfunction over time, so whether there's a kid or an adult in the front seat, the airbag could deploy in the event of a crash.
As a result, Suzuki Motor of America is calling in 193,936 vehicles to replace the front passenger-seat cushion assembly. That's a whole lot of cars to recall, but it comes as no big surprise. Owners can expect to be notified in October. Full details in the recall announcement below.
