2001 Taurus 38k Original Miles, Reliable, Looks And Drives Good! on 2040-cars
Franklin Square, New York, United States
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 Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
