***PRIVATE SELLER, I AM NOT A DEALER*** I'm selling my 2002 Ford/Mercury Taurus Wagon SEL-Deluxe, which is in Mint Condition! This 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon body style has become a hard to find 8 passenger vehicle. You get the best of both worlds, roomy like an SUV but the comfortable ride of a car and with great fuel economy. The Ford Taurus Wagon drives great, it rides very nice and smooth like a new vehicle. The exterior is the original factory paint it's called Matador Red and it has a beautiful clear coat shine with no fading, no hits and/or dents on it, but just a few scratches on the rear bumper that was already there when I bought the car. The interior is the original factory gray leather with no tears or rips, the floors inside are spotless with no stains, no fading, and no rips also the original floor mats when the car was new are spotless too. You will be very pleased when you see how clean & nice the interior is for being a 2002 which still has that original clean leather smell, and it's been a NON-SMOKER vehicle. It's roomy inside for 7 people and it can hold the 8th person in the front seat since the center console folds-up and converts to a seat if needed. The engine performance is Rock solid, runs like a champ with no issues what-so-ever & no leaks plus good fuel economy (I get 21-24 City & 25-28 Highway) and the transmission is Rock solid and smooth you don't even feel it shifting & no leaks. The A/C system is Ice Cold & no leaks. The Taurus wagon is over all a solid, dependable, reliable and as good as new and ready to go anywhere in the U.S.,Canada or Mexico..!! The Taurus wagon is great for any small or large family, a retired couple, and for anyone that likes plenty of room for long trips and/or if your car-pooling. It's a great vehicle too if your putting to many miles on your current lease and/or your lease is ending soon and you want to take sometime off on car payments. (It's also a Pedal adjustment switch this feature moves the brake & gas pedal away from you or closer to you) this is only on the SEL Models.

I'm a proud US Navy Veteran served 6 years I'm not here to over sell you on this car, I'm just stating the facts of the cars condition.

I want you to be very comfortable, happy, and secure with your purchase as the car is being sold “AS-IS” with a Clean clear Title (Vin#1FAFP59U72A162915) Superb Condition with only 107K miles. My wife & I purchased this vehicle about 9-10 months ago and just sat in my garage until my F-150 lease ended and just a short time ago had the Taurus registered in Florida. We've used the Taurus on several trips to visit our second oldest son at Florida State University, and visit family & friends up in Northern Florida/Georgia. The previous owners lived in North Carolina and moved down to Miami, FL. We have kept it very clean & neat and we take great pride with our vehicles always looking & running their best. The Taurus Wagon SEL is much cleaner and mechanically reliable then other Taurus's & Sable's for sale. Again the car looks better in-person then it does in the pictures and once you see it you'll will not be disappointed and it will give you many more great years. I have maintained everything up-to date that needed to be serviced including the the 100k servicing.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Fields 'required' to use private aircraft, could make $5.25M as Ford CEO this year

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

Mark Fields' travels on the friendly skies will soon be a relatively personal affair, as the new CEO at Ford will be required to resume air travel via the company's private planes. Fields caught plenty of flak in 2007 for flying on the company's dime to visit his family in Florida. He's since flown commercial.
According to Ford spokesperson Susan Krusel, who spoke to Bloomberg, Fields (pictured above right, with Bill Ford, Jr. at center and Alan Mulally at left) will switch to private travel "for safety and to maximize his availability for company business." In addition to his new travel arrangements, the 53-year-old exec's salary and bonuses have been revealed.
Regulatory filings by Ford revealed that Fields, whose first day in the big chair was July 1, will receive a base salary this year of $1.25 million and he'll be eligible for $3.5 million in bonuses, both of which are lower than Alan Mulally's $2 million salary and $5.88 million in bonuses received last year. That's also lower than General Motors CEO Mary Barra's alleged $1.6-million salary and considerably less than Sergio Marchionne's $3.19-million fixed salary from Fiat. Despite falling short of other CEOs, Fields' new pay still represents a 33-percent increase over his pay as Chief Operating Officer.

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
