I am selling my former car that I used to drive to work every day, and it has never been smoked in. The vehicle was purchased from the Ford dealership with 16000 km on it as it was used as a demo. It has driven once across Canada and once to Revelstoke BC, but the remainder of the time it simply drove me back and forth to work which was approximately 30km round trip each day. Since I have purchased my new car, my daughter as used it at least once a week to get back and forth to work. I am selling it at a reduced price from the normal going rate that I see as I know that the Air Compressor for the Air conditioner will need replacing as well as some other minor problems such as the missing antenna and a few small scratches and rust spots. As well it only has three of the four hub caps and the armrest requires a retaining bolt, finally where I used to set my heel when I had my foot on the gas pedal has worn through the floor mat and carpet.
Other that those issues it drives well, has never been in an accident and has regular servicing. The tires and shocks were replaced last year as well as work being done on the brakes. This year the problem I had with it was stalling due to a line developing a hole in it. This was repaired by Midas and the engine was given a tune-up. It has been washed and vacuumed out and my wife will be taking the carpet cleaner to the carpets and seats. If you are interested please feel free to contact me.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
