This is a beautiful Silver Frost Metallic 2004 Ford Taurus SEL wagon in excellent condition with only 45,000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in June of 2006 from Autoway Ford in Brooksville, FL. and have used it as a daily driver. It is extremely reliable and with the luggage rack on the roof and the internal cargo area it's great for moving supplies for your home projects.

It's Front wheel drive with dual front air bags. The Ford Taurus has been one of the 10 best selling vehicles in the U.S. and rated as one of the best family cars in terms of safety. In fact safety, comfort and reliability are the trademarks of this vehicle. It has a 3.0 Duratec liter V6 aluminum block ( a $1200 option hwhen new ) with 201 horsepower and 4 speed automatic transmission. This wagon provides up to 81.3 cubic feet of cargo space and this SEL model is the top of the line offered for Taurus wagons. It has automatic climate control, power adjustable pedals, a leather wrapped steering wheel, AM/FM cassette player with 6-disc CD changer, four wheel disc brakes, 7 spoke machined aluminum wheels, keypad entry, dark paledo wood-trimmed interior, adjustable luggage rack and a unique bumper shape with step pads at the rear. In addition, it has a flip-up rear window in its tailgate which is useful if you just want to reach in and grab something quickly without opening the tailgate. In addition, this vehicle has dual color keyed remote power adjustable exterior rearview mirrors. These SEL wagons are better equipped than the sedans as ABS is standard and it has a rear anti-roll bar for better handling. This particular wagon comes with the vinyl cover that rolls up and covers the rear cargo area which you don't often see on these wagons so you can conceal any valuables in the cargo space if you wish. ( please see the pictures )

The exterior metallic paint is in very good condition and the body has no dents or dings since I have always been very careful to park it away from other vehicles when grocery shopping. It has been senior owned and operated since purchased in Brooksville, FL and has been a joy to drive. I am selling my wagon since I have medical issues to deal with otherwise it would remain in the family. All of the window glass is immaculate with no cracks or chips and the power windows all operate as they should. The engine is always very responsive and the acceleration is good when you need to merge with traffic. The interior is in excellent condition and the leather is supple and well preserved since I have always maintained it with leather conditioner. All of the instruments work and the interior lighting at night is very well positioned and marked for night time driving. The floor carpeting is in terrific condition since it has been covered with rubber mats and vacuumed on a regular basis.

This wagon would suit anyone since it so reliable, safe and has excellent performance. As you can see I have an excellent buyer/seller record with E-Bay and I am an honest person who just wants to find a good home for my car. The vehicle is being sold " as is where is " and has to be picked up from the sellers home location. I will require a $1000 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. All sales are final. No buyers remorse since this car is close to 10 years old and comes with no warranty. I have tried to describe this car to be the best of my ability and the pictures attest to it's condition. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask and I will be pleased to answer them for you. The payment balance will be due in full within 7 days of the auction close and the following forms of payment will be accepted.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans Â— climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator Â— the one so popular that Ford will increase production Â— crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
