This vehicle is being sold "as-is", unfit, not e-tested and is not represented as being in a road worthy condition, mechanically sound or maintained at any guaranteed level of quality. The vehicle may not be fit for use as a means of transportation and may require substantial repairs at the purchaser's expense. It may not be possible to register the vehicle to be driven in its current condition.

A compact, front-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle with 251,612 km on the odometer fits a specific kind of practical requirement. It suits someone who needs the elevated seating position, clear sightlines, and upright cargo space of a traditional two-box utility vehicle for local errands, a short rural commute, or secondary household duties. Five-passenger seating paired with a straightforward four-cylinder layout makes it an uncomplicated tool for daily tasks where simple utility matters more than modern complexity.

The cabin setup is designed around everyday utility and ease of use. Premium Cloth Buckets w/60/40 Split Rear Seat provide comfortable seating up front while leaving you the option to drop the rear seatback to expand the rear load floor for groceries, hardware store runs, or sports gear. A Power driver seat allows you to adjust your seating position accurately for longer stints behind the wheel. The interior environment stays manageable through varying weather thanks to straightforward Air Conditioning, while the Tilt steering wheel and Speed-sensing steering help tailor the steering effort between low-speed parking lot turns and open-road travel.

Outward visibility and lighting equipment address typical Southwestern Ontario driving conditions across changing seasons. Fully automatic headlights activate on their own as dusk settles or when passing through sudden cloud cover, and Front fog lights assist in casting a low, wide beam when morning mist rolls off the fields. On cold or damp mornings, Heated door mirrors clear away exterior frost and mist to keep your side views unobstructed, working alongside the Rear window defroster and Rear window wiper to keep the back glass free of road spray and accumulated grime.

Interior electronics and convenience equipment focus on practical basics. The audio setup includes AM/FM Single CD/MP3 Capable playback, 4 Speakers, and an integrated Trip computer to track fuel economy and distance between stops. Ford SYNC is present on the dash to manage compatible media, while Speed control on the steering wheel allows you to set a steady pace on open stretches of highway. Remote keyless entry with Illuminated entry lets you unlock the doors and find the vehicle in dark parking areas without fumbling with keys.

Power delivery comes from a Duratec 2.5L I4 gasoline engine paired with a 6-Speed Automatic transmission. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder runs on regular gasoline and uses a 4.13 Axle Ratio to deliver sensible low-end responsiveness around town. Underneath, a Four wheel independent suspension works with both a Front anti-roll bar and a Rear anti-roll bar to manage body motion over uneven road surfaces and railway crossings. When cold snaps hit rural Elgin County, the installed Block heater offers a practical way to keep the engine block warm overnight for easier starting in January and February.

With 251,612 km recorded on the odometer, this front-wheel-drive sport utility represents a functional, budget-minded option for local transportation. Front-wheel drive provides predictable handling dynamics, pulling the vehicle through everyday road conditions while avoiding the additional mechanical components of an all-wheel-drive system. The 6-Speed Automatic transmission balances engine speeds on county roads, and the overall mechanical package offers straightforward access for routine upkeep.
