Clear

Fully drivable (I am using it everyday), with all systems in good operational condition. No warning lights on dashboard. No dripping on driveway. Recently replaced: headlights, battery (warranty from SEARS for 4 more years), tires, right lower ball joint, heating core. The intake manifold had crack (~1/4 inch) about a year ago (which is common problem with FORD, please, see consumeraffairs.com/ford-news-and-recalls - the 7th article from the top of the page). Since replacement is ridiculously expensive and will almost double the price of the car, I DIY patching the crack. Some minimal oozing persists, the antifreeze level to be monitored once a 3-4 weeks, depends on intensity of the car's usage. Remote starter is on-board, but stopped to respond to the remote, needs attention. Key-less entrance, security bolts on wheels, factory radio replaced with Sony CD MP3 player, NJ inspection until 07/2015, all receipts from recent services are available. I am enjoying this car for 3+ years. I would keep it and drive it, but got one more car, so this one is extra now. Since the license plates are on, you can test-drive the car at any time. Please, ask questions before you act.
