2003 FORD TAURUS SES Gold Automatic 113,000K miles


Car runs GREAT! Low mileage @ only 10k miles per year

I purchased this car 6 months ago and have treated it to nothing but the best. I am selling it because my work has provided me with a company car.

I have had the following automotive services performed and I have receipts:

Tire rotation
4 wheel alignment
New front disc brake pads (ceramic long life) and drilled & slotted front rotors
Engine coolant flushed and serviced
Fuel injectors cleaned and serviced
Engine oil change
New Battery (limited lifetime warranty)
New alternator (2 year limited warranty) and new alternator belt
Automatic transmission fluid changed with new transmission filter and gasket
Fuel filter flush with new fuel filter
New air filter
New windshield wipers
(2) new rear tires (Toyo) $140/ea from Les Schwab 70k mile tires
100k tune up (new spark plug wires and spark plugs)

I take pride in my vehicles and maintain them to last a long time. 

There are a few quirks as I call them that come with this car that do NOT affect the mechanics in any way:

Stereo cd player doesn't work and the volume knob is a little sloppy -- I purchased the car like this
Small hole in the interior, (2) small cigarette burns on front seats, and some dings on the exterior -- I purchased the car like this from the previous owner.

You will be hard pressed to find a better car for the value anywhere in the Central Valley. I commuted with this vehicle daily (80+ miles one way) and achieved an average of 28 MPG, with a high of 31 MPG and a low of 26 MPG highway driving. 
I rate the exterior as a 8.0 (scale of 1-10) and the interior as an 8.5.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
