 This 2001 Ford Taurus SEL was acquired by a mechanic as a part of a trade for services rendered on the previous owners SUV.  A thorough inspection revealed the SEL was extremely sound mechanically with a beautifully maintained interior.

Manufactured by Ford in April of 2001, this car was purchased buy the sole owner in May of 2001 and driven an average of less than 8,500 miles per year.  The interior leather and appointments are in excellent condition, reflecting relatively light use over the past 12 years.  The SEL trim level was the top of the line for the Taurus in 01, offering a plethora of standard features.  In addition, this Taurus was equipped with a few additional options, including traction control, Mach premium sound system with a 6 disc trunk mounted changer, power adjustable pedals, power glass sliding moon roof, and side impact air bags.  EVERYTHING on this vehicle is in full working order.  When tested, the automatic climate control system produced 43 degree max A/C with an outside ambient temperature of 66 degrees.

The Duratec 3.0L 24 Valve V-6 is a strong runner, producing 200 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque, with an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.  Inspection of the spark plugs showed gaps between .053" and .055", falling within the factory specs of .052" and .056".  All fluids are appropriate in appearance and at proper levels, and the one year old Interstate battery is in good shape.

The undercarriage is clean and relatively rust free.  Front pads and rotors are also in good shape with approximately 90% life remaining, and the rear drums are in good working order.

The set of 215/60/R16 Continental ContiPro Contact tires are all in good condition and have an average of 10/32" tread depth remaining.

The exterior of the Taurus cleans up well, but is showing some age in a couple of areas.  Other than minor dings and scratches, there is a rust spot forming over the left rear wheel arch, and both front and rear bumpers have a few cracks.  The alloy wheels remain bright with only the slightest bit of corrosion around the edges.

If you have any specific questions about this 2001 Ford Taurus SEL or would like to see additional photos, please feel fee to contact me.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway

Tue, Jan 20 2015

A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.
