I am the original owner of this 2004 Ford Taurus SEL. I have both sets of the original keys, all paperwork from the dealer that came with the new purchase, as well as a binder of all maintenance that has been done on it. Between 2004-2012 I had the oil changed every 3K, thereafter it has been on synthetic for every 7,500 miles. I have a clean title, the car has never been smoked in or ever been in any accident.
The only reason I am selling it is because the A/C is not working and I cannot afford to fix it. Here's what needs to be replaced to fix the A/C:
- New compressor manifold tube
- Accumulator assembly
- New A/C manifold hose
Otherwise, the car operates smoothly. The following is a list of major work that has been performed on it recently:
- New Michelin X-Radial DT tires - 11/28/2008 (about 5 years ago, plenty of tread left)
- Replaced brake drums and rotors - 3/29/2011 (about 2 years ago, pads are still good)
- Replaced spark plugs, fuel filter and fuel injector - 10/13/2009 (about 4 years ago)
- Replaced oil pan gasket, trans. fluid/gasket/filter and crank sensor - 5/17/2012 (1 year ago, switched over to synthetic oil from this point on)
Cosmetically, the interior is very clean with no tears or rips in the leather seating. I have all the original floor mats also. The front and rear bumpers have some scuffs and dings, and there is rust starting to form on the rear wheel wells. Otherwise, the car looks great.
If you are interested in stopping by for a test drive or want additional pictures, please feel free to contact me. This is a local pickup only, I will not ship the car and will accept cash in-person only.
Thanks for looking!

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
