Up for sale is my current daily driver, 2001 Ford Taurus with 38K original miles! You can see a walk around VIDEO of the car here:

Runs and drives great. 3.0L V6, power windows, locks, and mirrors. A/C is cold, and the heat is hot. Tires are good, steering is tight, trans shifts excellent. Engine runs great with no smoking, knocking, or hesitation. Brakes are good, no pulsation. Nice reliable car ready for the road. All the monitors are set, and there are no codes in the car. I have put over 1,000 miles on this car myself. This is a former small Municipality police vehicle. No antenna holes in the body, and they put aftermarket tint all around. There is a slight scuff on the pass side of the rear bumper, and a very tiny dent on the Quarter panel, right where the bumper and Quarter panel meet. The tiny dent is almost not noticeable. There is also a small crease on the lower pass front door (you can see it in the picture below. I have replaced the coil pack, plug wires, and serp. belt. I did remove the vinyl coverings on the rear door panels (they were falling off, very common). The car will pass NY State emissions and safety inspection with no problems. All monitors are set. The car does have some dings, scuffs, and scratches, but has the original paint all around. I have the car for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally prior to the auctions end. I am driving it everyday, so the miles are going to be slightly higher than the listing when it is sold.

There are only 2 minor issues with the car.

1. The dome light does not go on when you open the drivers door. Works with all the others. Probably disconnected for the police use. I may repair it before the auction ends if I have the chance. If I do, I will add it here.

2. There is a light shake in the steering wheel between about 50-60 mph. Never looked in depth into what's causing it.

Any questions, please ask. You can also call call me at 5I6 area code, 52I-I957.

NY State residents only, will have to pay me sales tax on the final price, and the inspection fee ($37).

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
