This is my personal vehicle which I've owned for five years. The value vs. cost of repair vs. time and trouble has just reached a tipping point and we have elected to sell it.

To my knowledge, I am the Explorer's second owner. I hold a clear title. I note that the history report indicates three owners - would that have happened when I moved the title from Arizona to Tennessee? Let me know if you need any clarification.

Please review photos carefully for any body or interior trim items which I neglect to mention. I will be happy to provide any additional photos on request.

Most of the issues for this vehicle are common to this model and model year of Explorer, and I've found that articles and videos regarding the repair are easily located.

The primary issue is the need for a replacement transmission. The vehicle drives, but is slow to change gears, and reverse fails intermittently.
The front tires are new-ish, but the rear set could use replacement.
The a/c blows hot and needs a freon charge.
When we lived in Arizona, the truck was always parked under cover, but the heat affected the original steering wheel cover (photo).
I banged the support on a carport column with the front passenger side bumper - only the plastic part is impacted.
There is also a pair of dings in the hood.
The key is currently stuck in the ignition.
The drivers and rear passenger side power windows need repair. The motor works on each, but the serrated track needs replacing.
The "door open" sensor believes that a door is open.

The vehicle is sold as-is, without warranty.

I will answer any and all questions promptly, but please remember this listing is by a private owner, and not a dealer or mechanic. I thank you in advance for your patience.

A down-payment is required at time of purchase, with the full balance to be paid within three business days. Personal checks will not be accepted, and cashier's checks must be verified. Buyer to arrange pick-up and/or transport. We will work cooperatively to assist with transport.

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do?

At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.
