1998 Ford Taurus. Deluxe Se Model. Leather Seats & Interior. 100% Reliable on 2040-cars
Fairfield, Pennsylvania, United States
1998 Ford Taurus SE 4-door sedan. Deep metalic red exterior with gray leather seats and interior. Climate control A/C: just set the digital dial to your temperature preference. Deluxe wheels. Owners/drivers are non-smokers . Very clean interior. Rarely driven on snowy or salty roads [NOTE: at the time this ad was placed, eBay had a problem with their picture-loading software: it loaded the seller's photos in an unpredictable, random sequence, and then blocked the seller from re-sequencing the photos into their correct sequence. I'll get them into logical order when the software problem is solved.] Background. We bought this Taurus for my wife over 10 years ago. Now, because of surgery and mobiity problems [we are 76 years old], it is too low and sleek for her to enter / exit easily so we have acquired a taller vehicle for her. Original owner was a salesman, and the car had about 130,000 miles on it when we bought it. He indicated that the transmission developed problems just before sale to us, and Ford installed a complete new transmission. During our 10-year ownership, the transmission has worked flawlessly. The car has 256K miles, but they were easy miles -- rarely any passengers and rarely driven over 60 MPH. Reliability. It has been 100% reliable for us. Condition. In my judgment, it's in very good condition for its age. Has a new Pennsylvania safety inspection. Tires in excellent condition. Known problems: [1] tape deck does not work [never tried to diagnose/repair it]; [2] minor oil leak at the engine-to-transmission connection that drops 1~2 drops per day; and [3] an A/C hose leaks, but genuine Ford hoses are available in $120 range from Rock Auto. About 5 years ago, I replaced many of steering components: PS pump, rack and pinion, inner and outer tie rods, etc.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
