2004 Ford Taurus Sel Wagon on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
This is a beautiful Silver Frost Metallic 2004 Ford Taurus SEL wagon in excellent condition with only 45,000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in June of 2006 from Autoway Ford in Brooksville, FL. and have used it as a daily driver. It is extremely reliable and with the luggage rack on the roof and the internal cargo area it's great for moving supplies for your home projects. It's Front wheel drive with dual front air bags. The Ford Taurus has been one of the 10 best selling vehicles in the U.S. and rated as one of the best family cars in terms of safety. In fact safety, comfort and reliability are the trademarks of this vehicle. It has a 3.0 Duratec liter V6 aluminum block ( a $1200 option hwhen new ) with 201 horsepower and 4 speed automatic transmission. This wagon provides up to 81.3 cubic feet of cargo space and this SEL model is the top of the line offered for Taurus wagons. It has automatic climate control, power adjustable pedals, a leather wrapped steering wheel, AM/FM cassette player with 6-disc CD changer, four wheel disc brakes, 7 spoke machined aluminum wheels, keypad entry, dark paledo wood-trimmed interior, adjustable luggage rack and a unique bumper shape with step pads at the rear. In addition, it has a flip-up rear window in its tailgate which is useful if you just want to reach in and grab something quickly without opening the tailgate. In addition, this vehicle has dual color keyed remote power adjustable exterior rearview mirrors. These SEL wagons are better equipped than the sedans as ABS is standard and it has a rear anti-roll bar for better handling. This particular wagon comes with the vinyl cover that rolls up and covers the rear cargo area which you don't often see on these wagons so you can conceal any valuables in the cargo space if you wish. ( please see the pictures ) The exterior metallic paint is in very good condition and the body has no dents or dings since I have always been very careful to park it away from other vehicles when grocery shopping. It has been senior owned and operated since purchased in Brooksville, FL and has been a joy to drive. I am selling my wagon since I have medical issues to deal with otherwise it would remain in the family. All of the window glass is immaculate with no cracks or chips and the power windows all operate as they should. The engine is always very responsive and the acceleration is good when you need to merge with traffic. The interior is in excellent condition and the leather is supple and well preserved since I have always maintained it with leather conditioner. All of the instruments work and the interior lighting at night is very well positioned and marked for night time driving. The floor carpeting is in terrific condition since it has been covered with rubber mats and vacuumed on a regular basis. This wagon would suit anyone since it so reliable, safe and has excellent performance. As you can see I have an excellent buyer/seller record with E-Bay and I am an honest person who just wants to find a good home for my car. The vehicle is being sold " as is where is " and has to be picked up from the sellers home location. I will require a $1000 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. All sales are final. No buyers remorse since this car is close to 10 years old and comes with no warranty. I have tried to describe this car to be the best of my ability and the pictures attest to it's condition. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask and I will be pleased to answer them for you. The payment balance will be due in full within 7 days of the auction close and the following forms of payment will be accepted. Cashiers check ( must clear before car is released ) Money order Cash in person Thank you and good luck bidding ! |

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
