Up for sale is a 1998 Ford Taurus SHO sedan. The car is a one owner vehicle in amazing shape! Black with Gray Leather interior, Automatic and fully serviced with a rebuilt transmission at 130,000 miles. Rare find in this condition!
This vehicle was owned by a woman in Utah who had bought the vehicle in 1998 with 8 miles on the title. She owned the vehicle her whole life and brought the car to Florida when she relocated. The vehicle has been strictly up kept and fully serviced its whole life. Due to a losing of her eyesight she sold the car. This car has been so well taken care you will have no complaints with the car.
The exterior is black and is equipped with SHO emblems, limited chrome wheels, dual exhaust, spoiler, heated mirrors, and body effects. The paint is in very nice shape and has been taken care of very well. The vehicle is remarkably rust free and shows little signs of being from the north. The underneath of the vehicle has been inspected and showed no rot or rust areas. The gaps and channels where water runs through are very clean and rust free also. The vehicle has a few minor scratches around the vehicle but nothing major. The driver side rear door has a few tiny dents (see picture). The exterior of the car is very straight, the doors shut and open very nice. The trunk and hood have no pinched areas and all the door locks work great. The vehicle is also equipped with a keyless entry remote and keypad entry on the driver door.
The interior of the vehicle is a grey leather with bucket seats and plenty of luxury features. The power seats work perfectly and have no issues. The vehicle console and dash is clean with no cracks or broken pieces. The stereo system sounds very nice and is equipped with a Casette player and a multiple disc CD player. The air conditioning works well, the fans and all the buttons all work without flaw. The gauges on the vehicle work with no issues. The carpet is in very nice shape with no stains. The floor mats up front are showing some dirt stains but nothing major. The driver seat has one small tear in the side of the seat which is very common over time. the driver seat and all other seats have no stains. The trunk is super clean and was lined with sheets to prevent stains. The headliner and sunroof are in very nice shape also. The headliner is not torn or sagging! the sunroof is not showing any signs of rust or leaking and after the vehicle was washed and sprayed down I found no leaks into the vehicle.
The glorious engine is in very nice shape. I replaced the valve cover gaskets and had the vehicle inspected prior to purchase and while it was being serviced. The vehicle is not leaking any fluids and the engine is extremely clean inside. There was no sludge buildup and the vehicle received a tune up the month prior. The vehicle starts right up and the transmission was rebuilt at 130,000 miles. The cam shafts were serviced and are welded cams so you don't need to worry about them. The engine sounds great and is very responsive and powerful!
All around this vehicle is in remarkable shape for its age. Its a rare find to find this vehicle with such little issues. The vehicle is a solid 8.5 out of 10, and I invite anyone to come see the vehicle. You will not be disappointed with this vehicle. If you were looking for a good vehicle for transportation or if you always wanted one of these race sedans here's your chance to own a beautiful example. Feel free to come visit the car and ask questions. I also included a picture of the window sticker for the vehicle with the photos. The car is located in Holly Hill Florida right next to Daytona Beach. If you have any questions either call or texts will do, I prefer text messages if you need a quick repose due to my work schedule. (386) 843-2495
Thank you for the interest,

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
