1999 Ford Escort SE Wagon in great condition - 88,524 original correct miles with clear title! I have seen these wagons sell for more than my Buy It Now price with twice the miles!!

- This car has a 5 speed manual transmission...gets 4-5 mpg more than the automatic model. A/C blows cold and the heat blows hot. Everything works in the car as it should. Just had work done last week which included a new fuel filter, new plugs and wires, new rotors and brake pads, and the rear wiper wiring was re-wired so the rear wiper is now functional. Car runs and idles very well. Belts were checked and are good. The tires still have a good amount of tread left, and the rims are actual alloy rims, not just steel rims with hubcaps.

Issues: The clutch is noisy when it is pushed in to put the car into gear. Once you let it out the noise stops. The car shifts great and engages into gear great with no problems. Had it checked out and the mechanic told me that the throw out bearing in the clutch is going out, but that it stills shifts well and that if I can ignore the noise the clutch will still last a long time without being replaced. Also there are two dents right behind the rear marker light by the driver's rear corner of the car and some minor scratches on the rear bumper (see pic). The front bumper has some scrapes on the very bottom that you have to be laying on the ground looking up at the bumper to see. Other than that the body is in fantastic shape with no dents or other blemishes that I can find. Paint is shiny and headlights are clear.

The interior is very clean and in good shape. A few scuffs on the glove box but that's it. Non smoker car.

Was purchased in Arizona and driven back without any problems or incidents whatsoever and got 36 mpg! Will make a great student or commuter car for someone! Shipping or pickup is the sole responsibility of the buyer and the car is sold AS IS. I do have a brand new in the box K & N Air Filter and a brand new set of rear lift gate shocks that come with the car as well (current shocks work fine and rear gate stays up just fine, but I got these on sale so I bought them). I have described the car to the best of my knowledge....the title is free and clear. A $500 deposit through Paypal is required within 24 hours of the auction's end.

Thank you for looking.

Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
