Exterior: With the exception of a few minor chips, scuffs and scratches (mostly along the lower, right front area here) the 100% original factory looks great.
In this case, what lies beyond the shiny exterior speaks volumes about the loving care this Ford has always received.
Surveying the straight and smooth coachwork today, we marvel at how well the finish looks.
Combination entry located here
The Hankook Optimo P225/55/R18 radials are like new and are mounted to 18” chrome wheels which show some minor curb damage but still have amazing detail.
Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 6-month old, not a 6-year old car. This one is that clean!
We'll inspect the interior next, shall we?
This roomy Ford offers an airy cabin with eight cup holders, a full menu of airbags and one of the world's largest trunks (21 cubic feet) which makes it a solid bet for families. A tall seating position helps wean SUV groupies off the habit, while providing excellent visibility and easy entry for passengers. This SEL full leather trim package includes eight-way power driver seat and power passenger seat, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood interior trim, an MP3-compatible in-dash CD changer, a fold-flat front-passenger seat and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Always garaged and never smoked in, the supple leather interior is absolutely flawless.
Scrutinize the leather cabin and it's apparent that designers put a lot of thought into creating an attractive and functional environment. Rear passengers are treated to equally spacious quarters, making this Ford car a good bet for families with teenagers. The rear seats fold flat in a 60/40-split and this, along with the fold-flat front-passenger seat, allows owners to transport items up to 9 feet in length. Everything from the carpet to the headliner appears untouched.
Audio, onboard computer and speed controls are located on the steering wheel
The instruments all work flawlessly and the low 67,000 miles were meticulously maintained. Miles at the end of this one-week auction will be slightly higher as the car is available for inspections and test drives.
Service receipts are included…
The CRV Automatic transmission with All Wheel Drive and traction control has amazing performance and handling features. The audio system with 6-Disk in dash CD guarantees pleasurable audio, even when traveling at speeds well above the double nickel.
All window, lock and mirror switches and pedal adjustment feature work perfectly.
Headliner is flawless and the Power Moon Roof is another factory option. Books and Owner’s manuals are in their original pouch. Both remote keys are included. Everything looks, smells and feels as if the car was delivered yesterday, not 6 years ago.
The spacious trunk has panels that fold forward
The spare wheel/tire, jack & lug wrench appear to have never been used.
A picture says more than a thousand words: this trunk is immaculate! Engine & Mechanical:
The immaculate engine compartment is all original and factory-correct.
Beyond religious oil and fluid changes, all services were performed at the recommended intervals.
As a result, this Five Hundred is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.
Yes, any Ford can be very tough and reliable with a bit of preventative maintenance! Safety: All Five Hundred models come with a full set of disc brakes, ABS and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Air Bags and Traction Control. Front- and side-impact testing by the NHTSA returned a perfect five-star rating across the board. The IIHS named the Ford Five Hundred a "Best Pick" after conducting its frontal-offset crash test. Drivability: With a 3.0-liter V6 and CVT automatic, ride and handling is a strong point for the Five Hundred with a pleasant blend of comfort and agility. In any climate, the powerful engine starts every time, idles, revs and pulls effortlessly without unusual noises or hesitation and accelerates strong and smooth leaving no smoke in your rear-view mirror.
Warmed up, the oil pressure and coolant temperature remains absolutely stable, with no hint of overheating even after extended runs in rush hour traffic. The all-wheel-drive, continuously variable transmission (CVT) has all the convenience of a regular automatic but has an infinite number of ratios and chooses whichever one best fits a given situation. Fuel economy rates 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway. Steering is precise and the 4-wheel ABS disc brakes anchor the car securely, in a straight line, and without any hint of fading.
Aided with traction control and 18” alloy wheels, handling and braking are superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies or pulls. All in all, this Five Hundred is a joy to drive, perfectly reliable and ready to be driven anywhere, even across the Country, if that's where you live. Finally, with an original MSRP of over $33,000, the 2007 Ford Five Hundred has reached the bottom-end of the depreciation curve; a perfect time to buy. There's but one stumbling block on the way to Five Hundred Heaven: Immaculate, garaged, meticulously maintained, low mile examples are getting very hard to find. All the more reason to watch this one closely;
Presently, we have a clear, Utah Title. License and registration fees have been pre-paid through March, 2014 and a CA smog Certificate will be provided to complete Title transfer here in CA. Local sales tax and DMV transfer fees apply to residents in CA. All questions must be answered and all inspections must be completed PRIOR TO BIDDING. We are proud to have 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. Bid with confidence, knowing everything represented in this auction is accurate.
Is this car "mint?" Of course not. No vehicle that has been driven on the highway can rightfully be called "mint." It's a term best reserved for uncirculated coins. But being a 6-year-old Ford with 67,000 miles that has always been treated with utmost respect, it's as good as it gets. This Ford’s present condition and buying terms have been described as accurately as possible. If you have ANY questions or want to schedule a personal or 3rd party inspection, please email us PRIOR TO BIDDING. You will receive a prompt response. This is certainly one of the finest Fords in the nation and is offered here with No Reserve. What a great opportunity to purchase one of the finest 4-door sedans on the market that is sure to remain an outstanding investment for the winning bidder and a joy to drive for many years to come.
Thank you, good luck and HAPPY BIDDING! |

Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
