Go ahead, scroll down and see for yourself…

If you’re looking for an outstanding value in a pre-owned, 4-door sedan, look no further. Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by an 85 year old woman, this Ford Five Hundred SEL was treated like her one and only child.  

Finished in the most desirable color combination; Dark Red with Beige Leather interior, this SEL with All Wheel Drive is a cut above the rest.

 

Let’s take a closer look now.

 

 

Exterior:

With the exception of a few minor chips, scuffs and scratches (mostly along the lower, right front area here) the 100% original factory looks great.

 

 

In this case, what lies beyond the shiny exterior speaks volumes about the loving care this Ford has always received.

 

Surveying the straight and smooth coachwork today, we marvel at how well the finish looks.

 

Combination entry located here

 

The Hankook Optimo P225/55/R18 radials are like new and are mounted to 18” chrome wheels which show some minor curb damage but still have amazing detail.

 

Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 6-month old, not a 6-year old car.

This one is that clean!

 

 

We'll inspect the interior next, shall we?

 

This roomy Ford offers an airy cabin with eight cup holders, a full menu of airbags and one of the world's largest trunks (21 cubic feet) which makes it a solid bet for families. A tall seating position helps wean SUV groupies off the habit, while providing excellent visibility and easy entry for passengers.

This SEL full leather trim package includes eight-way power driver seat and power passenger seat, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood interior trim, an MP3-compatible in-dash CD changer, a fold-flat front-passenger seat and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Always garaged and never smoked in, the supple leather interior is absolutely flawless.

 

Scrutinize the leather cabin and it's apparent that designers put a lot of thought into creating an attractive and functional environment. Rear passengers are treated to equally spacious quarters, making this Ford car a good bet for families with teenagers. The rear seats fold flat in a 60/40-split and this, along with the fold-flat front-passenger seat, allows owners to transport items up to 9 feet in length.

Everything from the carpet to the headliner appears untouched.

 

Audio, onboard computer and speed controls are located on the steering wheel

 

The instruments all work flawlessly and the low 67,000 miles were meticulously maintained.

Miles at the end of this one-week auction will be slightly higher as the car is available for inspections and test drives.

 

Service receipts are included…

 

The CRV Automatic transmission with All Wheel Drive and traction control has amazing performance and handling features. The audio system with 6-Disk in dash CD guarantees pleasurable audio, even when traveling at speeds well above the double nickel.

 

All window, lock and mirror switches and pedal adjustment feature work perfectly.

 

Headliner is flawless and the Power Moon Roof is another factory option.

Books and Owner’s manuals are in their original pouch.

Both remote keys are included.

Everything looks, smells and feels as if the car was delivered yesterday, not 6 years ago.


 

The spacious trunk has panels that fold forward

 

The spare wheel/tire, jack & lug wrench appear to have never been used.

 

A picture says more than a thousand words: this trunk is immaculate!

 

Engine & Mechanical:

 

The immaculate engine compartment is all original and factory-correct.

 

Beyond religious oil and fluid changes, all services were performed at the recommended intervals.

 

As a result, this Five Hundred is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.

 

Yes, any Ford can be very tough and reliable with a bit of preventative maintenance!

 

Safety:

All Five Hundred models come with a full set of disc brakes, ABS and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Air Bags and Traction Control.

Front- and side-impact testing by the NHTSA returned a perfect five-star rating across the board.

The IIHS named the Ford Five Hundred a "Best Pick" after conducting its frontal-offset crash test.

Drivability:

With a 3.0-liter V6 and CVT automatic, ride and handling is a strong point for the Five Hundred with a pleasant blend of comfort and agility. In any climate, the powerful engine starts every time, idles, revs and pulls effortlessly without unusual noises or hesitation and accelerates strong and smooth leaving no smoke in your rear-view mirror.

 

Warmed up, the oil pressure and coolant temperature remains absolutely stable, with no hint of overheating even after extended runs in rush hour traffic. The all-wheel-drive, continuously variable transmission (CVT) has all the convenience of a regular automatic but has an infinite number of ratios and chooses whichever one best fits a given situation. Fuel economy rates 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway.

 

Steering is precise and the 4-wheel ABS disc brakes anchor the car securely, in a straight line, and without any hint of fading.

 

Aided with traction control and 18” alloy wheels, handling and braking are superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies or pulls. All in all, this Five Hundred is a joy to drive, perfectly reliable and ready to be driven anywhere, even across the Country, if that's where you live. Finally, with an original MSRP of over $33,000, the 2007 Ford Five Hundred has reached the bottom-end of the depreciation curve; a perfect time to buy. There's but one stumbling block on the way to Five Hundred Heaven: Immaculate, garaged, meticulously maintained, low mile examples are getting very hard to find. All the more reason to watch this one closely;

 

 

Presently, we have a clear, Utah Title. License and registration fees have been pre-paid through March, 2014 and a CA smog Certificate will be provided to complete Title transfer here in CA. Local sales tax and DMV transfer fees apply to residents in CA.

All questions must be answered and all inspections must be completed PRIOR TO BIDDING.

We are proud to have 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. Bid with confidence, knowing everything represented in this auction is accurate.


BIDDERS WITH ZERO OR NEGETIVE FEEDBACK MUST EMAIL US FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO BIDDING OR THEIR BID WILL BE CANCELED.

Is this car "mint?" Of course not. No vehicle that has been driven on the highway can rightfully be called "mint." It's a term best reserved for uncirculated coins. But being a 6-year-old Ford with 67,000 miles that has always been treated with utmost respect, it's as good as it gets.

 

This Ford’s present condition and buying terms have been described as accurately as possible. If you have ANY questions or want to schedule a personal or 3rd party inspection, please email us PRIOR TO BIDDING. You will receive a prompt response.

 

This is certainly one of the finest Fords in the nation and is offered here with No Reserve. What a great opportunity to purchase one of the finest 4-door sedans on the market that is sure to remain an outstanding investment for the winning bidder and a joy to drive for many years to come.

 

Thank you, good luck and HAPPY BIDDING!

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

2017 Honda Ridgeline enters the landscape block war

Sun, Jun 12 2016

In the test of pickup truck beds, if steel is apples and aluminum is oranges, Honda wants you to know that composites are pineapples. Chevy recently performed a test in which its own Silverado was pitted against its most obvious competitor, the Ford F-150. A loader dropped over 800 pounds of landscaping blocks into the two truck beds, and Ford's aluminum bed ended up with more damage than Chevy's steel bed. Check that test out right here. Honda apparently wasn't content to let Chevy throw stones alone. In a new test, the Japanese automaker replicated the block-drop test using its brand-new Ridgeline truck, which features a composite bed. As you'll see in the video above, there was very little damage to the high-strength plastic bed of the Ridgeline after a similar load of landscaping blocks were dropped from a loader. Without being on hand at any of these tests, we can't say with any degree of certainty that they match up in severity. But they all look pretty similar, and this is actually a test that Honda performed in front of journalists ( ourselves included) earlier this year. We visually inspected the composite bed of a Ridgeline after a demonstration just like the one on video above, and can confirm that there was basically no damage to Honda's truck. Chevy went an extra step by flinging a heavy toolbox into the Silverado and F-150; Honda didn't match that particular test. Does any of this matter? That's up to truck buyers and owners to decide, naturally, but we doubt anyone would actually dump a load like this into their own truck. And it's also worth noting that a heavy-duty spray-on bedliner would probably minimize damage to the metal surface below, whether steel or aluminum. If nothing else, it's memorable marketing.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
