1997 Ford Taurus SHO. This vehicle is a great runner and has low miles for it's age. It has a lot of power with the small V-8 and is fun to drive. It has been regularly maintained by Ford dealership mechanics. Body has no dents. The ground effects are in rough shape, the rear half on both sides is missing. There is rust above the rear wheel wells as well as along the bottom where the ground effects were. The vehicle is red and shows signs of paint fade. Please remember this vehicle is 16 years old and all of the cosmetic issues are consistent with a car of that age. The vehicle runs very smoothly and quiet. It probably needs the AC to be recharged. All of the power options work as they should; the windows, sunroof, locks, steering, brakes, keyless entry, etc. It has had a recent oil change and the battery is new within the last year. The interior is in very good condition. There are some small tears in the rear seats but they are small and not bad, also a tear in the driver's side seat on the side near the door. The interior is also very clean. The radio is an AM/FM cassette player and it works as it should. There is a 6 CD changer in the trunk directly wired to the stereo that works as it should. The tires are also fairly new with a lot of tread life left. Please look at the pictures to see exact conditions as of today. It is a very reliable car and is actually a fun car to drive. If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me through e-mail. If you are truly interested we can set up a test drive. This car is being sold as-is. The blue book value on a car in this condition at the SHO trim level is around $2600. My reserve is set WELL BELOW that price.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
