 1997 Ford Taurus Wagon.  This vehicle is a good running vehicle.  I drove it at least 50 miles a day from August last year to April this year when I purchased another vehicle.  I have had no problems with it.  It has a sunroof (working), and a 6 disc cd changer in the back of the vehicle.  Comes with a cargo cover.
The only thing wrong with the vehicle is that it needs an overdrive solenoid.  Not sure how much that will be, but the check engine light is on because of this.  It was on when I purchased the vehicle, and I have driven it the whole time without problems.  However, you cannot go over 55, or the engine revs to over 3000.  If the solenoid was replaced I think this vehicle would do great.  Like I said, I drove it just the way it is and it did fine. It also needs tires. There are a few scratches and small dings, but that is expected, the vehicle is 16 years old.  The mileage is original, and I have the title in hand. 

JUST ONE NOTE:
IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD BIDDERS THAT DO NOT PAY WHEN THEY WIN----IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE DO NOT BID!!!!

I am moving and have to sell this vehicle - I do not have the time to go through all the mess of having to relist. Please if you have any questions, contact me, I will answer them as soon as I can.  Thanks!!


One more note:  After looking at these pictures, I realize the car looks like it has large scratches on it, it DOES NOT, the vehicle has been sitting in my yard and is just dirty.  Sorry, the quality of the pictures are not as good as I would like.  Please contact me if you have any questions at all.  Thanks!

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
