This auction is for a 1998 Ford Taurus sedan. The car has currently has 154,000 miles and has been in the family since about 40,000 miles. It was originally purchased around 2000 by my In-laws used and had just been repaired from a rear-end collision by a professional shop were an entire rear clip had been installed hence the rebuilt title. The motor runs very strong and has been very well maintained with the oil being changed every 3,000 miles. On a weekend trip back in October the transmission suddendly stopped working with no previous warning and the car was towed to its current location. It will not move at all in forward or reverse and will have to be trailored off. The car had new brakes installed less than 1,000 miles ago. The tires are in fair condition, but will need to be replaced before to long. The battery has also gone dead from sitting through the winter and will have to be replaced. It was involved in a minor fender bender last summer that is the reason for the primered passenger side fender and scuffed up bumper cover, the accident was just cosmetic and did not have any mechanical affects. The vehicle is being sold as is with no returns, and I have tried to describe it to the best of my ability since I am no mechanic. The car must be picked up near Rockaway Beach, MO 65740 at the buyers expense. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
