This Ford Five Hundred SEL is still under a full factory warranty AND maintenance plan. There is over a full year and/or 25,000 ADDITIONAL miles remaining on the extended power train warrantee! In addition, the winning bidder can drive this car into any Ford dealer and receive free scheduled maintenance until September 5, 2011. This takes 100% of the risk out of purchasing this fine automobile. Purchased new for $30,922 on September 6, 2006 at South Bay Ford by a mature school teacher in Hawthorn CA, he kept the car garaged, meticulously maintained at the dealer and treated it like his one and only child. Finished in the most desirable color combination; Silver Birch Metallic with Shale cloth interior, this SEL is a cut above the rest. Let’s take a closer look now. Exterior: With the exception of a few areas where minor body repairs were made from a parking lot mishap, (all work completed by the dealer; receipt with lifetime warranty included) the finish is 100% factory original. Combination entry located here In this case, what lies beyond the shiny exterior speaks volumes about the loving care this Ford has always received and underscores the car's Southern California provenance. Surveying the straight and smooth coachwork today, we marvel at how well the finish looks. Newer Continental radials and 17” alloy wheels still have amazing detail. Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 5-month old, not a 5-year old car. This one is that clean! We'll inspect the interior next, shall we? This roomy Ford offers an airy cabin with eight cup holders, a full menu of airbags and one of the world's largest trunks (21 cubic feet) which makes it a solid bet for families. A tall seating position helps wean SUV groupies off the habit, while providing excellent visibility and easy entry for passengers. This SEL trim package includes eight-way power driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood interior trim, an MP3-compatible in-dash CD changer, a fold-flat front-passenger seat and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Always garaged and never smoked in, the cloth interior is absolutely flawless. Everything from the carpet to the headliner appears untouched. Audio, and speed controls are located on the steering wheel 6-Speed Automatic with traction control has amazing performance and handling features. The audio system with 6-Disk in dash CD guarantees pleasurable audio, even when traveling at speeds well above the double nickel. The instruments and onboard computer all work flawlessly. And the miles are all meticulously maintained by the dealer since day one. All receipts included… Books and Owner’s manuals are in their original pouch. Both keys with locking remotes are included. Dual electric, auto temperature controls for driver and passenger Scrutinize the cabin and it's apparent that designers put a lot of thought into creating an attractive and functional environment. Rear passengers are treated to equally spacious quarters which is great for families with teenagers. The rear seats fold flat in a 60/40-split and this, along with the fold-flat front-passenger seat, allows owners to transport items up to 9 feet in length. Everything looks, smells and feels as if the car was delivered yesterday, not 5 years ago. The spacious trunk has panels that fold forward The spare wheel/tire, jack & lug wrench have never been used. A picture says more than a thousand words: this trunk is immaculate! Engine & Mechanical: The immaculate engine compartment is all original, factory-correct, down to the decals and markings. Beyond religious oil and fluid changes, thousands of dollars were invested into the 75,000 maintenance contract and extended warrantee through Ford. Additionally, all documented services were performed at the dealer at recommended intervals. As a result, this Five Hundred is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically. Yes, any Ford can be very tough and reliable with a bit of preventative maintenance! Safety: All Five Hundred models come with a full set of disc brakes, ABS and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Air Bags and Traction Control. Front- and side-impact testing by the NHTSA returned a perfect five-star rating across the board. The IIHS named the Ford Five Hundred a "Best Pick" after conducting its frontal-offset crash test. Drivability: With a 3.0-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic, ride and handling is a strong point for the Five Hundred, as Volvo genes give it a pleasant blend of comfort and agility. In any climate, the powerful engine starts every time, idles, revs and pulls effortlessly without unusual noises or hesitation and accelerates strong and smooth leaving no smoke in your rear-view mirror. Warmed up, the oil pressure and coolant temperature remains absolutely stable, with no hint of overheating even after extended runs at high speeds. The 6-speed, automatic transmission shifts seamlessly. Steering is precise and the 4-wheel ABS disc brakes anchor the car securely, in a straight line, and without any hint of fading. Aided with traction control and 17” alloy wheels, handling and braking are superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies or pulls. All in all, this Five Hundred is a joy to drive! Despite its age, the Ford is perfectly reliable and ready to be driven anywhere, even across the Country, if that's where you live. Finally, with an original base price of over $25,000 the 2006 Ford Five Hundred has reached the bottom-end of the depreciation curve; a perfect time to buy.
