For auction is a privately owned, 2001 Ford Taurus SES. I purchased the vehicle at a decent price last year as a second family car for us. When I purchased the car, it needed a head-gasket and a tune-up. We did the repairs and we also replaced the below components. We have all paperwork backing the repairs.
O2 Sensors
Spark Plugs
Front Brakes and Rotors
Brake Fluid Service
Rear Heater Hoses
Radiator Cap
DPFE Sensor
Water Pump
Head Gasket Set
Thermostat, Housing and Gasket
Idler and Tensioner Pullies
A/C Compressor
The vehicle cost me a decent amount of money to replace these components but the car has driven great and served us very well for the last year with no issues. Everything works in the car and it runs fine, still does and I have no doubts that it wont continue to serve someone else well. I am selling the vehicle because I saved a bit of money and I'd like to upgrade to something newer for us. I'd also like an SUV because we have bad winters here on Long Island. A few things that you should note about the vehicle however; The Odometer stopped working at 129K, and right now the vehicle has somewhere around 135K Miles on it. It stopped working about four to five months ago. I chose not to have it repaired because I'm ready to sell the vehicle, but also because it doesn't hinder the vehicle from operating properly, thus not being a priority for me. Also, the check engine light comes on every now and then and reads a Misfire. I had this diagnosed and my mechanic said it's an injector. Again, I didn't choose to repair the vehicle because it is another issue that is periodic and doesn't affect driving conditions. They looked at it on the computer and said that the misfire occurs infrequently, but since the computer sees a misfire, it throws the code. The vehicle passed NYS inspection without a problem. After the repairs, the vehicle served our family well. I've trusted it to get my children and girlfriend back and forth and I have no doubts that it will serve someone else very well. Blue-Book Value for this vehicle is just shy of $3,000. Appropriately, this vehicle has been priced at just over half of that.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
