This 1999 Ford Taurus Se Wagon was given to us by my wife's mother, who drove it everyday for 3 years, after she bought a new car in October 2012. She bought this vehicle locally from a dealer on 2/19/09. We have never had insurance nor the registration on the vehicle because we already have 2 vehicles, as well we haven't had the title transferred. (Im not sure if we will put it in our name and then yours, or if we should just put it directly from her mothers to yours. Which ever is fine with us)

We've had it over a year and its just been parked in the parking lot near our home. I have moved it around the lot 3 times since then. The first time it started right up but the 2nd and 3rd time I had to jump it with my vehicle so it may need a battery or to be charged with the alternator. Also I know it needs a power steering pump. That's what my wife's mother told me. But it can be driven without. I'm not sure how long she had it after the pump when out, therefore I cannot give an exact time frame from how long the pumps been out but I could definitely tell it was out when I moved it around the lot. Another thing, the Taurus will need a passenger side wheel and tire. The other 3 are fine other than needing a little air, but that wheel and tire were stolen off the vehicle about 10 weeks ago. I'm sure just from sitting 14 months the fluids need to be serviced but I don't know exactly what it could use. There is also a little rust on the passenger side as well on the back hatch/trunk. The interior looks nice. No stains or rips in the seats and the floor boards could use vacuumed. As far as anything else with the engine and transmission from when I moved it around it all seemed to be fine. I asked her mother recently if there was anything else wrong with it and she said, "no just the power steering pump."

That is everything I know about the vehicle. KBB lists it around 2400.00 via private party. If you have questions please feel free to mail me and if you live near Clarksburg WV you can come take a look at it. I am selling it "as is" due to the power steering pump and missing wheel/tire but it does run fine. Thanks for looking and Happy Holiday's!

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
