This 2001 Ford Taurus SEL was acquired by a mechanic as a part of a trade for services rendered on the previous owners SUV. A thorough inspection revealed the SEL was extremely sound mechanically with a beautifully maintained interior.
Manufactured by Ford in April of 2001, this car was purchased buy the sole owner in May of 2001 and driven an average of less than 8,500 miles per year. The interior leather and appointments are in excellent condition, reflecting relatively light use over the past 12 years. The SEL trim level was the top of the line for the Taurus in 01, offering a plethora of standard features. In addition, this Taurus was equipped with a few additional options, including traction control, Mach premium sound system with a 6 disc trunk mounted changer, power adjustable pedals, power glass sliding moon roof, and side impact air bags. EVERYTHING on this vehicle is in full working order. When tested, the automatic climate control system produced 43 degree max A/C with an outside ambient temperature of 66 degrees.
The Duratec 3.0L 24 Valve V-6 is a strong runner, producing 200 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque, with an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Inspection of the spark plugs showed gaps between .053" and .055", falling within the factory specs of .052" and .056". All fluids are appropriate in appearance and at proper levels, and the one year old Interstate battery is in good shape.
The undercarriage is clean and relatively rust free. Front pads and rotors are also in good shape with approximately 90% life remaining, and the rear drums are in good working order.
The set of 215/60/R16 Continental ContiPro Contact tires are all in good condition and have an average of 10/32" tread depth remaining.
The exterior of the Taurus cleans up well, but is showing some age in a couple of areas. Other than minor dings and scratches, there is a rust spot forming over the left rear wheel arch, and both front and rear bumpers have a few cracks. The alloy wheels remain bright with only the slightest bit of corrosion around the edges.

Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
