We just love this Ford Taurus SE Wagon. This is a Very Special & Unique Automobile. This is not a Dime A Dozen, Easy to Find Car, This is a Very Rare Taurus Wagon. The Combination of Year, Model, Features, and Mileage combine for a car so unique that you could easily spend months finding a similar car. So, if you are looking for a Practical Wagon, Then You Know! For Sale by: CARNET 12638 Broad St Rd Richmond, VA 23233 We sit just under the over pass at RTE 288 and Broad St. Our office is located on the back of the building. We schedule all car showings by appointment, please call 804-928-9099 or 804-938-8767 to schedule. FIRST IMPRESSION: At first glance, this Car is a Looker. This car is in overall very good condition, better than I would expect from the year and miles. The love the previous owner showed for this car is obvious from the overall condition and upgrades. We had this car VA State Safety Inspection and It Passed needing just front Brake Pads. With the rear wagon hatchback, comfortable seating for 7, and luxury surrounding, this Taurus SE is a Great Car. More fun to drive than a minivan, Practical Interior cargo space, and Incredible 27+ Miles Per Gal Fuel Economy, this Ford is everything you want and then some! Exterior: The Exterior of this Ford Taurus SE is described as Tropic Green. This is a deep green with lots of luster and shine to the paint. The paint has held up well and does not show it‘s age. You will find the exterior of this car to be very classy! The combination of elegant color, sporty 15” Alloy Wheels, Black Roof Rack and overall Sleek Lines Make for a sharp looking wagon. This car is so sharp looking without the bulky square lines of most wagons, that I really like it. At some angles, you don’t even realize it is a wagon. So style, function, and curb appeal all in one! The 15” Alloy Wheels are factory upgrades and are in great condition. The wheels looks sharp and show just a little normal curb chew or wear. I notice that one front center cap is missing. It is riding on a set of 205 65 R 15 tires. The tires passed VA State Safety inspection. They look very new, and are in great condition. Exterior Upgrades Continue with a Fully Power Sunroof complete with retractable sunshade. This Sunroof will Open Completely to let the sun and breezes flow in, You Can Vent It Up/Pop It Up for a little added airflow, or just open the shade and let the sun in through the glass panel roof. Any way you enjoy this Sunroof upgrade, it certainly adds to the driving appeal and comfort. This Ford Taurus SE Wagon is a 4 Door with Hatchback. The smooth lines of this car are very delicate. You will notice that the rear hatch area is contoured to minimize any awkwardness from the wagon rear hatch. This allows the car to have a less bulky stance and be a more appealing wagon. There is a subtle front grille and front license plate bracket. The Bumpers, both front and rear, are body colored to match the Green paint color. You will also find a roof rack. Perfect for hauling extra stuff, this luggage rack adds to the versatility of this car. The roof rack is in great condition and appears to be adjustable. The black finish of the roof rack looks great and is not chipping, not fading, and not wearing off. There is a Rear Window Wiper. I did not think to test it, but I assume like everything else, it works. This car shows some normal wear. There is a scuff on the front bumper, and a little paint chipping on the edge of the hood. I am sure you may find a scuff, ding or other issue not specifically mentioned. The other issue I will mention is some rust along the doorsills. When you open the rear doors, you can see some rusted areas where the rust has created holes. My painter made it look somewhat better and says that this looks like it is caused from water pooling under/behind the lower plastic trim. He say that it does not appear structural and is likely caused from poor design, but without putting it on a lift (which he does not have) he cannot fix it. So, to keep the price low, we are just telling you about it. Overall, the Exterior Condition of this Ford is in Good Condition. Frankly, for a 1999 model, I would personally say the exterior of this car is in better than expected condition. There are some minor issues to be expected. Overall, the outside of this car is consistent with its age. Interior: The Overall Interior of Ford Taurus SE Wagon is Very Good, Too. Every time I hop in this car, I find more cool stuff! It has gotten to the point where every time we notice some new, cool feature, our only response is Of Course. Of Course this car has many factory upgrades that make it even more comfortable to drive! This Car is Full of all sorts of Surprises and Upgrades! This Ford Taurus SE Wagon Features Tan Sport Cloth Interior. The seats are upholstered in a light tan color and are very soft and subtle. The first and second row seats are cloth, the rear third row has vinyl. You will not find any significant wear anywhere inside this car. The interior is a medium beige/tan color accented with touches of black. You will find the seats, carpets, floor mats, and lower dash panels to be the medium beige color. Black accents the center console, upper dash and gear shifter. The steering wheel is in great condition, it is smooth and feels great. No sun or heat damage has occurred to the steering wheel. This combination of tan and black colors looks amazing and is one of my favorite color combinations. The factory Ford Floor Mats are in this car and in good condition. Black continues on the gear shifter. The gear shifter is conveniently mounted in the center console. The carpets are also a matching tan color, and floor mats are included too. The steering wheel is tan and in great condition! There are no notable issues. No rips, no funny or obnoxious odors. Taking the pictures was a breeze as the interior just looks great! We never try to hide flaws with tricky angles or lighting so in this car, the pictures do not even show how good this car looks in person. There are not small pet hairs or pet odors in this car. There is also no smell of cigarette smoke, either. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and usually pick up on any right away and this Wagon has no smokey smells. The Seats are all in Excellent condition. The 2 front captain style seats are multi point adjustable. The driver seat is multi point power adjustable with power lumbar support. Both front seats have height adjustable head rests and height adjustable shoulder belts. The 2nd Row seat is a 60/40 bench that will accommodate 3 more passengers. This second bench seat accommodates three riders is surprisingly roomy and comfortable. This seat flips down in two sections for customizable cargo space. The third row is a fold flush jump seat that seats 2 more riders. In all, this Taurus seats 7 riders. Cruise Control is conveniently on the Steering Wheel. We tested the cruise control and it works perfectly! There are full power options including Power Windows, Door locks, and Power Side View Mirrors. The exterior side view mirrors are power and adjusted with a control on the driver door. The mirrors are also heated. There are rear vents on the back of the console. There are dual lighted Vanity Mirrors, with adjustable lights. The Sunroof controls are easy to reach right over head. There are front reading lights for front passengers, too! The driver side door has all power controls for the windows and side view mirrors. There are large storage bins in each of the front doors for stashing items. There is a lockable glove box. There are fully automatic headlights, and rear wiper controls just to the left of the steering wheel. Overall the Interior of this Ford Taurus Wagon SE is well equipped and in better condition than I would expected. I have not noticed any major or obvious defects with the interior other than the few stains on the carpet and a little wear on the driver’s seat. Every internal feature works just as it should. The front dash features the in dash radio with Mach Sound Upgrade and with AM FM Radio and Cassette Player. The 6 Disc CD Player is mounted in the rear cargo area. The front dash also had digital climate control and outside temperature display. Rear Cargo Area: The rear cargo area is very practical and functional. You can flip the third row seat down flush into the floor and use this space for items. When you flip the seat down, the floor board area becomes a recessed and covered cargo area. This is great for protecting items underneath, both from sun and to keep them out of sight from potential thieves, or to store rarely used or emergency items. You can flip the second row seat down in two sections if more space is needed. There is a storage areas with a 6 disc cd changer. Under the Hood: This V 6 Engine produces plenty of power while still offering great gas mileage. The Fun to Drive and Sporty Automatic Transmission allows for 27+ MPG on the highway. VA State Safety Inspected valid thru 2-2012! Driving Impressions: This 1999 Ford Taurus SE Wagon Drives Fantastic! I have really gotten attached to this car and get upset whenever I have to drive anything else. I have never had a Taurus wagon before and am surprised at how nice this car is to ride and drive. Mechanically, this car is in great condition. Not only have I driven this car but so has our mechanic has driven it on the highway and in the city and nothing needs repair. It has plenty of power, lots of pep, and handles great. I have had this car on the highway, around town, and in between and it drives just great! Performance is spirited — or to some, pleasantly eager — with the six-cylinder engine. Carfax: The Carfax on this car shows no major issues: no floods and no salvage title. This carfax does not indicate any issues or problems. It does show an Accident reported Involving left front impact, Very minor damage reported, in May 2002. This is a Carfax Certifiable Car, This Car Qualifies for the Carfax Buy Back Guarantee.

With love overhead and high volume, our cars are priced less than most private sellers and normally only a few hundred dollars over our cost. We can provide quality cars at a low cost. Look at Wal-Mart, high volume companies save you money. 2. In VA, all of our running vehicles have to be State Safety Inspected. Virginia has one of the most strict inspection processes. An independent shop inspects such components as Lights, Suspension, Brakes, Tires, Windshield, and More! We usually plan on spending at least $600 per car to get them to pass state inspection. So, you have piece of mind that this inspection has been done recently. 3. As a dealer, you never have to wait to legally drive and register your car. Even if there is a bank payoff or title, we can facilitate an easy exchange and provide any necessary temporary tags and accompanying paperwork so you can drive away at the time of pick up. (Please note, not all cars qualify for temporary tags if we have the original title at time of transfer. 4. Safety! As a business, you have the added security and confidence that your safety is maintained at the time of pick up. No driving up to a stranger's house, our transactions take place at a licensed dealership. 5. Information available about each car we sell! We are professionals with years of experience. We are not dumping any unwanted junk out of our back yard on ebay. We spend hours taking detailed photos, including specific information about each car, and adding our own impressions of how a car performs. We do not have emotional attachments to these cars and try to be as honest as possible about the overall condition. 6. On, ebay you have the confidence that you are shopping with a state licensed, bonded and insured company. We cannot scam and run eBay frauds the way private sellers could. Plus, look at our years ebay history. We want to talk about a couple of items. We are Wholesale Dealers. We buy our cars Directly from New Car Dealers and Not Auctions. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that we sell quality cars. When they are traded in, someone at the new car dealer drives the car. When we buy the car, someone from our dealership drives the car. If a car has a problem we either fix it or disclose it. We have no intention or knowledge of ever selling a car with a problem. However, all cars break. I wish I could, but I cannot predict when a car will break. We do our best to represent the vehicle fairly, however, we are human and do make mistakes.
