Up for auction is our Ford Taurus. This is a black one with a spoiler on the back which are hard to find and (as you can see from the pictures hopefully) look much nicer than most of the basic Taurus' out there.
It is fully loaded with power everything. It has the MACH sound system in it. It has the deluxe climate control, the multi-CD changer, rear drink holders and vents for air and heat (really nice if you have kids). The rear seats fold down so the trunk is open all the way up to the front seats.I
My wife was in a fender bender and it had damage to the left front fender, grill, front bumper and hood. There was never any frame damage or airbags deployed but did cause the car to have a salvage title.
The fender, grill, bumper and hood have been replaced and now the car looks really great for a 2001. It also runs perfectly with no problems at all. My wife take turns driving it back and forth to work every day and we wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere.
This car is awesome to drive! It has one of the higher horse power/torque engines and has tons of power.
You will be very happy with this car. It is solid, drives perfect and would rate in “excellent” shape.
Issues: Nothing besides the usual small dings and such that you'd expect for a 2001 vehicle. There is a little bit of rust at the bottom of the sills under the rear doors. Easily fixed and you can't see it with the doors closed. It's not even very noticable with the doors open. It still looks really good but not perfect.
The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days. You can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for.

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.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."
