 1997 Ford Taurus SHO. This vehicle is a great runner and has low miles for it's age. It has a lot of power with the small V-8 and is fun to drive. It has been regularly maintained by Ford dealership mechanics. Body has no dents. The ground effects are in rough shape, the rear half on both sides is missing.  There is rust above the rear wheel wells as well as along the bottom where the ground effects were. The vehicle is red and shows signs of paint fade. Please remember this vehicle is 16 years old and all of the cosmetic issues are consistent with a car of that age. The vehicle runs very smoothly and quiet. It probably needs the AC to be recharged. All of the power options work as they should; the windows, sunroof, locks, steering, brakes, keyless entry, etc. It has had a recent oil change and the battery is new within the last year. The interior is in very good condition. There are some small tears in the rear seats but they are small and not bad, also a tear in the driver's side seat on the side near the door. The interior is also very clean. The radio is an AM/FM cassette player and it works as it should. There is a 6 CD changer in the trunk directly wired to the stereo that works as it should. The tires are also fairly new with a lot of tread life left. Please look at the pictures to see exact conditions as of today. It is a very reliable car and is actually a fun car to drive. If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me through e-mail.  If you are truly interested we can set up a test drive. This car is being sold as-is. The blue book value on a car in this condition at the SHO trim level is around $2600. My reserve is set WELL BELOW that price.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
