1998 Ford Taurus SE 4-door sedan. Deep metalic red exterior with gray leather seats and interior. Climate control A/C: just set the digital dial to your temperature preference. Deluxe wheels.

Owners/drivers are non-smokers . Very clean interior. Rarely driven on snowy or salty roads

[NOTE: at the time this ad was placed, eBay had a problem with their picture-loading software: it loaded the seller's photos in an unpredictable, random sequence, and then blocked the seller from re-sequencing the photos into their correct sequence. I'll get them into logical order when the software problem is solved.]

Background. We bought this Taurus for my wife over 10 years ago. Now, because of surgery and mobiity problems [we are 76 years old], it is too low and sleek for her to enter / exit easily so we have acquired a taller vehicle for her.

Original owner was a salesman, and the car had about 130,000 miles on it when we bought it. He indicated that the transmission developed problems just before sale to us, and Ford installed a complete new transmission. During our 10-year ownership, the transmission has worked flawlessly.

The car has 256K miles, but they were easy miles -- rarely any passengers and rarely driven over 60 MPH.

Reliability. It has been 100% reliable for us.

Condition. In my judgment, it's in very good condition for its age. Has a new Pennsylvania safety inspection. Tires in excellent condition.

Known problems: [1] tape deck does not work [never tried to diagnose/repair it]; [2] minor oil leak at the engine-to-transmission connection that drops 1~2 drops per day; and [3] an A/C hose leaks, but genuine Ford hoses are available in $120 range from Rock Auto.

About 5 years ago, I replaced many of steering components: PS pump, rack and pinion, inner and outer tie rods, etc.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
