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! Quick Specs

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back 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 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
