For your consideration is our 2002 ford Taurus lx.  I picked this up for my oldest son at a state of Connecticut surplus auction 4 or 5 years ago.  The state of CT maintained the car very well but it did come with numerous exterior dings and dents that you will see in the pictures.  The nicks never bothered us as we just wanted a safe, reliable, efficient vehicle for our boy.  This car has been very dependable for us and will make a great car for its new owner.     

I've spared no expense maintaining this car.  It has four newer matching tires with 75% or more tread. I've been good about changing the oil end fluids on time using premium oil.  It has new rotors and brake pads all the way around and stops on a dime.  We recently replaced the starter, charged the air conditioning system, and did a complete service with new oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and windshield wipers.  The car runs as good or better than new with no leaks, vibrations, noises, or rattles. 

The interior is very clean and never smoked in.  Other than the state supplied nicks on the outside, you'd never know the car is 10 years old.  It comes with a nice pioneer stereo system that will link to your ipod or mp3 player.  We always know when he's pulling in the driveway because the stereo thump precedes him.

The car is surprisingly good on gas for a mid size sedan.. I think he gets high 20's on the highway and low/mid 20's around town.  The front wheel drive and good all season tires make this car amazing in bad weather. 

As for the negatives, there really is nothing to mention other than the exterior dents and scratches.  There's virtually no rust or mechanical issues to mention. Bid confidently knowing you're getting a safe, dependable, well maintained vehicle.  The winning bidder can pick this up and drive it across country with no worries.

This is a no reserve auction. Cash at pickup is strongly preferred though paypal is ok if you must. Please plan to conclude this transaction within 7 days of auction close.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES

Thu, Jan 2 2014

Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.
