A very nice car… Just traded, here is a very nice one owner 2005 Ford Escape XLT with 4 wheel drive and aside from an odometer discrepancy, not much to tell you about. When the car came in, the odometer and the title read 181,791 miles and shortly after that while driving the car, I lost all the gauges and the odometer and speedometer. The cost to repair the dash was more than getting another cluster from the junkyard and now that the cluster has been replaced, the odometer reads 121,868 and the true miles are the original 181 and with that exception, there is nothing for me to tell you about in the mechanical department as the motor is quiet and dry, the automatic shifts perfectly, the car sits on four nice winter tires, the exhaust is quiet and the car has a while to go on the inspection stickers. The body is in excellent shape although not buffed or waxed and there are no major dents or marks, no rust at all either on it or under it, the original paint is nice and the car looks good from any angle. The interior is in very nice condition showing no signs of heavy or abusive use, nice carpets, dash and headliner, a clean cargo area and no signs of ever having been smoked in. If you were looking for a four wheeler and can live with the explanation of the mileage, here is a very nice car nice enough to leave at home with the family and it will be sold with no reserve so thanks for looking and good luck with the auction.

They will accommodate all our customers within their normal business hours which are 9-5PM on weekdays and on Saturdays from 9-12PM. You can of course bring your own temp tags if you prefer. It is mandatory that if you need plates you bring with you your drivers license and your insurance card for your present car. Names, addresses and dates must be valid on both items. Wholesale to the Public We are wholesalers in the automobile business since 1949 and the mainstay of our business is to supply other dealers with vehicles that we have either traded or purchased in a wholesale capacity “as-is” with no warranties either expressed or implied. This is a unique way of selling automobiles and if you are receptive to these conditions you will take advantage of the lower prices. We test drive our cars prior to offering them for sale on this auction and any faults are disclosed to the best of our ability. We do not run them through a service facility but rely on our experience to tell you what problems they may have. We will not under any conditions guarantee the check engine lights or any dash warning lights as if they are on we will disclose this and we do not do a diagnosis to see what it is because they can come on at any time for any number of reasons so these lights are not guaranteed if they come on for you. Administrative Fee We have sold over 5000 cars on eBay in the last six years and have never charged any fees. However, the cost of doing business recently has skyrocketed out of sight and we are forced at this time to ask for a nominal $75 fee on top of the price of the car sold and any motor vehicle fees. I truly apologize for this change in policy however the cost of doing business and the increasing number of no show bidders dictates this moderate administrative fee. “Prior to re-conditioning” Our prices are generally way below the average retail values listed in the most popular pricing guides so our cars are not detailed or re-conditioned but sold in the same way they were purchased or traded. They are simply washed and put out for sale. You will not find the motors cleaned and you won’t find shiny protectorates such as “Armor-All” on them and the cars will be in their original traded condition. This allows you to buy the car for less money and me to do less work. If you are receptive to buying a car in this fashion, the savings are yours. Because we sell our cars all over the world and in every state, inspections are not guaranteed in any state as each state differs in their requirements so it is virtually impossible for us to guarantee inspection. Options such as power windows, cruise control, air conditioning etc. are not guaranteed however we will do our best to mention any items that are not working. “0” feedback bidders should call or email prior to placing your bid We do not want to discourage you from bidding, only to verify that you are serious! Without this contact your bid will be cancelled. Payment If you are a winning bidder, kindly contact me via email immediately at the end of the auction for verification. Our requirements are that the high bidder should pay an immediate deposit of $500 via PayPal upon completion of the auction and the car should be paid in full within 7 days via cashiers check, cash if in person or money order. The deposit can also be made over the phone via MasterCard or Visa; however, payment in full cannot be made with a credit card or PayPal. If payment of the car is not fulfilled within the specified time, the car will be offered for re-sale and feedback will be left accordingly. Let’s not waste each other’s time.
