I am selling my 2008 F250 FX4 because:
  1. I am provided a company car
  2. I don’t take my boat out now that I have a young child
  3. I get to use the money for other toys, per the house CFO


All maintenance has been done, even including a transmission flush and refill.  I am VERY detail oriented about my maintenance and care of my vehicles.


Truck comes with a DPF and CAT Delete pipe installed, along with a SPARTAN tuner (the best as discussed extensively online) that has been set up with a 210 tune (considered conservative and safe, as it retains OEM safety cutoffs etc. should anything go above spec).  This tuner is based on the DashDAQ which also reads ODB codes, has tests you can perform, and provides real time monitoring of Exhaust Temps, Boost, Tranny temp, even oil and coolant temps via small LCD.  Origional DPF and CAT are in the toolbox if you want to return to stock.  Intake is stock, however I have used an AFE filter with better than OEM filtering ability, while flowing a bit more.  I have a recharge kit for it as well.  This represents over $2500 invested and really makes the truck a joy to drive.


I replaced the OEM deck with a pioneer that has a GPS, as well as integrated apps for your IPhone such as Pandora and AHA radio etc.  I personally just use the Bluetooth.  I’ve just recently updated the maps to 2013.  It also provides a very nice monitor for the backup camera, which is controlled via one of the up fitter switches at the bottom of the dash.  It is VERY NICE to see if the trailer hitch is correctly secured as you ask yourself “did I attach the safety chains right” just after your back in the AC and pulling forward.  


Truck has 20” Wheels, running boards, full leather interior with power front seats, backup alert, rearview camera, two-tone paint, and a Stereo that does DVD/MP3/Movies/on and on.  


This truck was bought as a long-term investment.  My previous f250 was 12 years old when I sold it, and even looked to be in mint condition.  I have not drag raced this vehicle, as proven by the photographed tires that have over 25k on them.  I merely enjoy the added MPG’s, and the occasional very quick passing of slower vehicles when necessary.  


I do have a set of cheaper fog lights I was going to mount as backup lights, as well as a slotted grill kit that I decided against installing that will be included.


I hope you like the vehicle, and please feel free to ask me any questions.

Civic Hybrid

I am selling my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. I purchased this car x ago and it has been a fantastic vehicle but our family is expanding and we need a larger vehicle. The car has 55,000 miles and is running beautifully. The hybrid comes loaded with the following features:

1.3L 4 Cyl Hybrid engine
40 City MPG
45 Highway MPG
Custom Katzkin leather interior (I didn't like the old cloth).
6-disc CD changer
Power driver's seat
ABS
Automatic climate control
Steering wheel audio controls
Allow wheels

The car has had regular oil changes every 3k-5k miles and has been on full synthetic since new.

It was also recently inspected by Honda as part of its routine maintenance and was found to be in excellent condition.

You can click on the pictures to view larger images and see how well this car has been taken care of. KBB suggests a private party value of around $14,000 in excellent condition. KBB lists the definition of excellent as:

A vehicle is deemed in excellent condition by Kelley Blue Book®if it appears brand new, hasn't had bodywork (including paint), lacks rust, is in perfect mechanical condition, and doesn't require any repairs whatsoever. The interior is clean, as is the engine, which has no observable flaws or fluid leaks. The engine should also appear to be free of wear and tear. A car in excellent condition has an entire (provable) record of service and a clean title history. According to Kelley Blue Book, "less than 5 percent of all used vehicles fall into this category."

I believe this car meets this description.

Free of any major defects.
Clean title history, the paints, body, and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes
• No major mechanical problems.
Little or no rust on this vehicle.
Tires match and have substantial tread wear left.
A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail.

If you're interested please contact me with questions or to arrange a time to look at the vehicle.

Thanks for looking.

Honda


I am selling my 2001 Honda Accord EX V6. I purchased this car new in 2001, so I am the original owner and have kept maintenance records. The car has 118,000 miles and is still running beautifully. The EX comes loaded with the following features:

• 3.0L V6
• Leather interior
• 6-disc CD changer
• Power driver's seat
• ABS
• Homelink system (built in garage door opener)
• Automatic climate control (with micron air filter)
• Steering wheel audio controls
• Allow wheels

The car has had regular oil changes every 3k-5k miles. At 75K miles I switched to synthetic blend motor oil. The AC blows cold and strong. Recent maintenance performed includes:

• New front and rear brake pads (at 115K miles)
• New rear brake rotors (at 115K miles)
• New spark Plugs (at 116K miles)
• Transmission flush (at 116K miles)
• Fuel injector cleaning (at 116K miles)

You can click on the pictures to view larger images and see how well this car has been taken care of. KBB suggests a private party value of around $6,000 in good condition. The car had a small tear on the driver’s seat which has been repaired (see picture below), and makes a rattling sound from what I suspect is a loose bracket on the 60/40 folding seats, so I have priced it a little below good. KBB's definition of good states that the car is:

• Free of any major defects.
• Clean title history, the paints, body, and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems.
• Little or no rust on this vehicle.
• Tires match and have substantial tread wear left.
• A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail.

If you're interested please contact me with questions or to arrange a time to look at the vehicle. The Accord has been a great car for us and it’s ready for its next home.

Thanks for looking.

Logitech Driving Force Pro Steering Wheel

I am selling a Logitech Driving Force Pro Steering Wheel originally designed for PS2. The wheel was originally released for the PS2 but is also compatible with the PS3. I used this wheel to play Gran Turismo 4 but haven't used it in years now and figured it was time to sell it. I was planning to wait until GT5 came out to sell this because I figured there would be more demand for a PS3 wheel then, but I don't feel like waiting until 2020 for that game to come out so I am just going to sell it now. After all they did finally release a demo of GT5, so you could try it with that!

I don't have a PS3, but I did test the wheel out on the PC (that's right it's windows compatible!) and did some racing in Need for Speed Shift, and it wheel is in excellent working condition.

I am asking $50 for the wheel, thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you!

Turbo for Sale

I am selling a Garrett GT-17 turbocharger from a 2001 Saab 9-5. This turbo will work with:

Saab 9-5's 1999-2001 on non Aero and non SE models
Saab 9-5 Linear from 2002-2005 for Linear models.
Saab 9-3's from 1999-2002 that are non SE.
I am not sure about the 03-05 9-3 Linear.

This turbo was removed from my car when I decided to upgrade to the Aero turbocharger (Mitsubishi TD-04) to get some more power. The car had about 100k miles on it at the time, and there is no play in the shaft, or oil leakage in the chamber. The turbo has the oil hoses still attached.

I am asking $150 firm, this would be a great purchase if your Saab is shooting white smoke at start up, or if you want to have a spare just in case, or maybe you have a project car you want to turbocharge. Send me an email!

Thanks!
