Up for sale is a 1998 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L Triton V8 Motor, with 131,476 miles on it. I bought it in Februrary, planning to repair everything to restore it cosmetically, and tow with it. Title is clear, and in hand. The truck appears to me, to have been in an accident, due to the various body damage that it has on it. Once listed, vehicle information should be available within the listing.
I don't want to put anymore money into it, and am looking to recoup some of the money invested. After I bought it, I had to have the inner and outer tie rods replaced, tires, and an alignment. So the Good-Engine and Trans, Tires, inner and Outer tie Rods, Alignment, and Hitch. Have all paperwork for that recent work which costs me $990 total. It has 4 wheel drive, but when I tried it to get out of a parking spot, it didn't seem to help, so I am not sure what the issue is. Bad- Cosmetically not appealing, and there is a wire that came loose on the passenger side, that appears to plug into something, but didn't keep it from driving. I am not sure what it is, but I drove it back from Chicago that way last night, and have driven it today as well. If I find out what it is, I will ad it to the listing later. It has tan leather seats, that need TLC, and no 3rd row seat. Seatbelts work in the front and the passenger rear side only. The worst area is probably the passenger rear quarter panel, the front passenger headlight and corner light, and the bumpers.
The passenger front window won't come down. The driver's side looks pretty good. There is a hitch on the SUV, but no ball. The back door opens and window, however it did get stuck on me once and wouldn't open. The top hinge of the rear window needs fixing. All items can be found at a junkyard, and replaced. Found headlight 4 piece set on ebay for $50. Has an aftermarket CD player that works, but not great, and speakers are horrible, except maybe one. The exterior is Black, with some flat black painted areas. Feel free to ask me questions, and I will respond the best I can , with what I know about the truck.
Running a 3 day auction, or you can click the Buy it now and buy it immediately. Upon Auction end, payment of $750 is expected within 24 hours, and the remainder within 3 days. Depending on the distance, I may be able to drive it to you, for an extra charge, which I would require through Paypal, and can add to the invoice. If that is of interest, please send me a question through Ebay and let me the city and state you are in. I am near Champaign, Illinois, two hours south of Chicago, Illinois.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
