Hi there!
The car originally came from an Arkansas national park. Carfax proves this statement in case you doubt it. I noticed it does burn oil at a slow rate. I check the oil weekly and over about a four month period it will lose somewhere around a quarter of a quart. It is dependent on how I park as well when I check it of course. I have changed the oil in it twice and both times I have used Lucas oil treatment. I believe it to be the best for all vehicles. The only problem mechanically is the transmission tends to dive into its high gear early which makes it hiccup until you give it some gas. It happens specifically when I go down a hill and then up a hill immediately after. Research has shown crown vics often do this to save gas by cruising in OD as much as possible. Overall, it is rare situation and I only mention it to be as descriptive as possible. The vehicle drives great.
I changed the brakes just before the cold weather came last year (late in the year). They are still in good condition. I also changed a few parts on the front end simply because I had the money to blow. At that time I examined the springs struts and shocks and did not replace them as I believed they are in very good shape. Perhaps, the biggest bonus of the auction is I am going to throw in two brand new tires for the vehicle. I bought them this year and intended to put them on the front end but did not do it. The back tires are in decent shape but in no where perfect. I believe the front could make it through the summer but I wouldn't brave the winter. I also want to mention the exhaust is a bit loose on the bottom of the vehicle allowing it to create a mild rattling noise. I hope to capture this in the video to show its full extent. It is not horrible by any means.

Check engine light comes on and off pending the tightness of the gas cap. It has been that way prior to me purchasing the car. If you tighten it with two hands it stays off 90% of the time but is hard to un-tighten when refueling. It doesn't effect anything on the vehicle but it does exist. Hoping to buy a new gas cap that seals better before auction ends.

2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
