 1997 Ford Taurus Wagon.  This vehicle is a good running vehicle.  I drove it at least 50 miles a day from August last year to April this year when I purchased another vehicle.  I have had no problems with it.  It has a sunroof (working), and a 6 disc cd changer in the back of the vehicle.  Comes with a cargo cover.
The only thing wrong with the vehicle is that it needs an overdrive solenoid.  Not sure how much that will be, but the check engine light is on because of this.  It was on when I purchased the vehicle, and I have driven it the whole time without problems.  However, you cannot go over 55, or the engine revs to over 3000.  If the solenoid was replaced I think this vehicle would do great.  Like I said, I drove it just the way it is and it did fine. It also needs tires. There are a few scratches and small dings, but that is expected, the vehicle is 16 years old.  The mileage is original, and I have the title in hand. 

JUST ONE NOTE:
IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD BIDDERS THAT DO NOT PAY WHEN THEY WIN----IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE DO NOT BID!!!!

I am moving and have to sell this vehicle - I do not have the time to go through all the mess of having to relist. Please if you have any questions, contact me, I will answer them as soon as I can.  Thanks!!


One more note:  After looking at these pictures, I realize the car looks like it has large scratches on it, it DOES NOT, the vehicle has been sitting in my yard and is just dirty.  Sorry, the quality of the pictures are not as good as I would like.  Please contact me if you have any questions at all.  Thanks!

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

Ford F-150 pulls semi truck through snow-clogged Chicago streets

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Earlier this week, the Midwest was crippled by a massive snowstorm that dumped a foot or more of powder in some areas. The result was, of course, transportation gridlock. It's a fortunate thing for this stranded semi-truck driver, then, that a Ford F-150 EcoBoost stumbled upon him. Despite a tow rating of just over 11,000 pounds, the four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pickup managed to dislodge the big rig from a snow-covered street. Of course, the Ford didn't get the semi moving all on its own – watch the video towards the end and the semi was quite clearly spinning its rear tires. Still, it's an impressive feat that we've little doubt F-Series fans are celebrating. Related video:
