Year:2002 Mileage:79426 Color: is a little dirty as you can see from the pics
Location:

Bronx, New York, United States

Bronx, New York, United States

Up for auction is my 2002 Ford Taurus.  79426 original miles,  Former city vehicle, 4 door, white exterior, grey fabric interior, power steering, power brakes, power locks, power windows, A/C, am/fm radio.  I have a clean nys title in my name. All glass is good & not broken & go up & down properly. All the lights work as does the a/c but it blows cool & will need some freon. The city bought the car brand new & used it as one of their fleet vehicles. They removed the city stickers & scratched the paint, so I sanded down where the stickers were & covered it with some white primer sealer paint to prevent it from rusting.  There is no major rust on the car but some minor scratches & dings. The Car starts right up & runs good with a boost or a good battery as the one that came in the car will not hold a charge for more than 2 hours. There is a about 3 inch hole in the drivers side front floor that will need to be patched (I have the floor mat over it right now) & there is a power steering leak somewhere in the line as I see power steering fluid on the ground after the car is moved & sometimes hear when it needs some. 
All in all for the condition, year, mileage & price, it would make a great car. the interior & exterior is a little dirty as you can see from the pics & will need a good cleaning.  I was going to fix the car & sell it for more but as you can see from some of the pics, we had a hard & long winter here & the weight of the snow caved in the roofs on my garage & shed.  Under the cover under the shed is a 1964 chevy Impala convertible & i need to get that out to fix the roof & to fix the convertible to get it ready for summer so a few of my cars will have to go.
Please check back as I will also be listing a 2005 Ford Explorer with 72791 miles, 1995 Dodge van with 86660 miles, 2001 Chevy cab & 1/2 silverado pickup, 1999 ford ranger cab & 1/2 pickup, 1969 Buick skylark 2dr, 1965 Chevy impala convertible project, 1964 impala 4dr project & a 1962 running 4dr impala project.
You are more than welcome to come by & bring your mechanic to look at any of my vehicles if you are in or near the Hunts Point area in the Bronx. 
Vehicles are sold as is where is. there are no guaranties or warranties on these vehicles.  I will not ship the vehicles as shipping is the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. I will assist with loading of vehicles onto your truck or trailer on this end. There is a 100.00 deposit via paypal due within 24 hrs after the auction end (no exceptions)  I read the book computers for dummies & cound not figure it out, but i was still able to set up an account & pay for items on line, so if i can do it, im sure that youre a little smarter than I am.  Please ask any & all questions as soon as possible to give me time to check & get back to you.

If you want the car for your client, then you buy it & sell it to them. 100 dollar deposit due via paypal & the balance can be paid by check or money order or cash at pick up.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
