2008 Ford Taurus X Sel Awd on 2040-cars
Jamesville, New York, United States
This 2008 Ford Taurus X SEL features all-wheel-drive and the more desirable 7 – passenger seating (with full-width second-row fold-down split bench). It is equipped with a 3.5 liter Duratech V6 engine, and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The exterior color is Titanium Green Metallic, and the interior cloth seating is Camel (tan). This Taurus X is equipped with traction control, air conditioning, power locks, power windows, power driver’s seat, heated mirrors, satellite radio, cd player, mp3 input, cruise control, keyless entry and more. All options work fine. This car has been very carefully maintained and garage kept, with regular oil changes using Motorcraft Synthetic Blend 5W-20 at 3,000 mile intervals. Recently, the car had new brakes installed, with new rotors and pads on all 4 wheels. It has 4 matching Michelin HydroEdge radial tires that have been rotated regularly, with well more than 50% of the tread remaining. The car has never been in an accident, and has never been smoked in. This Taurus X would make an outstanding family car, or a great car for a college student heading off to campus this fall. Snow Tires: Any purchaser who pays the listed “Buy it Now” price or more will also receive a set of 4 nearly-new Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires that are mounted on a separate set of matching Taurus X alloy wheels (see pictures). These tires have less than one winter’s use, and I estimate that they will be good for at least 3 more winters. The reserve price on the auction is set lower than the “Buy it Now” price, and the mounted snow tires are not included unless the purchaser pays at least the amount of the “Buy it Now” price. Matching this all-wheel drive Taurus X with its Blizzak winter tires makes it an extremely sure-footed and safe winter car. At present, the car has 111,343 miles on it, however, we will continue to use the car for local driving during the auction, so I expect that the mileage at the end of the auction will be slightly higher. The car is located near Syracuse, New York, and the buyer will be responsible for picking up the car – I will not ship it. Payment must be by certified check, and must be received within 3 days of the conclusion of the auction. |

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
