Hybrid alert - gets 30/34mpg (hwy/city)! FULLY LOADED: factory GPS navigation system and touch screen electronic control panel (incl. hybrid engine HUD), Audiophile sound system, heated leather seats, keyless entry (number pad on driver door), separate driver and passenger climate control, backup sensor, multi-disc CD player, factory rear window tint, roof rack, rear window wiper and defrost, power mirrors and windows, bug shield, AC power outlet in front and two DC (1 front/1 back), etc.
We've really enjoyed having this vehicle, however, we recently moved to a more urban area and simply don't need two vehicles any more. The vehicle was been well-maintained; oil changed every 3.5K miles and recent tune-ups we've done to get car ready for sale include: two new tires (BF Goodrich), a spare full-sized tire under the vehicle, new front and rear brake pads, new rear rotors, new MECS Pump, tires rotated / calipers adjusted, as well as a multi-point inspection. Finally, we have a Ford Extended Service Plan ("BaseCARE") on the vehicle for until it reaches 120,439 miles or 3/11/2014 (whichever is first) that can be transferred to you for an extra $1000.
Some other non-obvious benefits of driving this hybrid include the 4-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gas engine (which gets better mileage than the non-hybrid gas engine), and the fact that the brakes last much longer due to the magnetic regenerative braking system (brake pads make contact much less frequently). A couple things to take note of: there are some scratches on the rear bumper wheelwell-area and some of the black trim on the doors is a little flaked off on top on both sides of car - not sure how any of this happened, as that is how it was when we bought the vehicle. The high mileage is due to the first owner of the vehicle, who bizarrely used this hybrid as a commuter vehicle (see CarFax report for mileage periods).
