1999 Ford Taurus Wagon - Light Blue on 2040-cars

Clarksburg, West Virginia, United States

This 1999 Ford Taurus Se Wagon was given to us by my wife's mother, who drove it everyday for 3 years, after she bought a new car in October 2012. She bought this vehicle locally from a dealer on 2/19/09. We have never had insurance nor the registration on the vehicle because we already have 2 vehicles, as well we haven't had the title transferred. (Im not sure if we will put it in our name and then yours, or if we should just put it directly from her mothers to yours. Which ever is fine with us)

We've had it over a year and its just been parked in the parking lot near our home. I have moved it around the lot 3 times since then. The first time it started right up but the 2nd and 3rd time I had to jump it with my vehicle so it may need a battery or to be charged with the alternator. Also I know it needs a power steering pump. That's what my wife's mother told me. But it can be driven without. I'm not sure how long she had it after the pump when out, therefore I cannot give an exact time frame from how long the pumps been out but I could definitely tell it was out when I moved it around the lot. Another thing, the Taurus will need a passenger side wheel and tire. The other 3 are fine other than needing a little air, but that wheel and tire were stolen off the vehicle about 10 weeks ago. I'm sure just from sitting 14 months the fluids need to be serviced but I don't know exactly what it could use. There is also a little rust on the passenger side as well on the back hatch/trunk. The interior looks nice. No stains or rips in the seats and the floor boards could use vacuumed. As far as anything else with the engine and transmission from when I moved it around it all seemed to be fine. I asked her mother recently if there was anything else wrong with it and she said, "no just the power steering pump."

That is everything I know about the vehicle. KBB lists it around 2400.00 via private party. If you have questions please feel free to mail me and if you live near Clarksburg WV you can come take a look at it. I am selling it "as is" due to the power steering pump and missing wheel/tire but it does run fine. Thanks for looking and Happy Holiday's!

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
