1999 Ford Taurus Wagon - Light Blue on 2040-cars
Clarksburg, West Virginia, United States
This 1999 Ford Taurus Se Wagon was given to us by my wife's mother, who drove it everyday for 3 years, after she bought a new car in October 2012. She bought this vehicle locally from a dealer on 2/19/09. We have never had insurance nor the registration on the vehicle because we already have 2 vehicles, as well we haven't had the title transferred. (Im not sure if we will put it in our name and then yours, or if we should just put it directly from her mothers to yours. Which ever is fine with us)
We've had it over a year and its just been parked in the parking lot near our home. I have moved it around the lot 3 times since then. The first time it started right up but the 2nd and 3rd time I had to jump it with my vehicle so it may need a battery or to be charged with the alternator. Also I know it needs a power steering pump. That's what my wife's mother told me. But it can be driven without. I'm not sure how long she had it after the pump when out, therefore I cannot give an exact time frame from how long the pumps been out but I could definitely tell it was out when I moved it around the lot. Another thing, the Taurus will need a passenger side wheel and tire. The other 3 are fine other than needing a little air, but that wheel and tire were stolen off the vehicle about 10 weeks ago. I'm sure just from sitting 14 months the fluids need to be serviced but I don't know exactly what it could use. There is also a little rust on the passenger side as well on the back hatch/trunk. The interior looks nice. No stains or rips in the seats and the floor boards could use vacuumed. As far as anything else with the engine and transmission from when I moved it around it all seemed to be fine. I asked her mother recently if there was anything else wrong with it and she said, "no just the power steering pump." That is everything I know about the vehicle. KBB lists it around 2400.00 via private party. If you have questions please feel free to mail me and if you live near Clarksburg WV you can come take a look at it. I am selling it "as is" due to the power steering pump and missing wheel/tire but it does run fine. Thanks for looking and Happy Holiday's! Quick Specs

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Next-gen Ford Cobra Jet development underway, but will it be a Mustang?
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Ford might be stepping away from the NHRA, but it isn't abandoning drag racing altogether. Hot Rod says that Ford confirmed a next-gen Cobra Jet factory drag racer is in the works, but the report also speculates that a new Cobra Jet could switch away from the Mustang nameplate.
Even though talk of a new Cobra Jet coincides with the all-new 2015 Mustang, the lack of confirmation for the dragster's platform leaves Hot Rod to guess that the car might switch to another platform - specifically a front-drive-based, unibody car like the Fusion or Taurus. We'd hate to think of a world with a NASCAR-ized dragster from Ford Racing, but it's also highly unlikely that the Mustang Cobra Jet would step away from its quarter-mile rivals like the Chevy COPO Camaro and Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.
