1997 FORD TAURUS I AM SELLING MY 1997 FORD TAURUS.....HAVE OWNED IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS.....WE ARE SELLING SO WE CAN UPGRADE TO A MINIVAN...........THE 2 ABOVE VIDEOS WERE FILMED JANUARY 1ST, 2011.......WATCH THEM, THEY ARE VERY INFORMATIVE AND WILL ANSWER MOST QUESTIONS, AND GIVE YOU MORE CONFIDENCE BEFORE YOU DRIVE TO SEE THE CAR IN PERSON......... POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, REMOTE ENTRY, ELECTRIC MIRRORS, REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER, POWER DRIVERS SEAT, 3.0 LITER V6 WITH 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 15" TIRES, AM/FM CASSETTE. TILT WHEEL, REAR SEAT FOLD DOWN FOR HAULING, ORIGINAL PAINT, AND MORE !! STARTS AND RUNS GREAT, WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION TO DRIVE IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY WITHOUT WORRIES.......... AMAZINGLY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT, NON-SMOKER AUTOMOBILE.......... CURRENT INSPECTION AS OF NOVEMBER, AT WHICH TIME I PLACED 2 NEW TIRES ON THE FRONT, APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES AGO.......... AS SEEN IN THE VIDEO THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY WELL, TRACKS VERY WELL WITH HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CAR STOPS SMOOTHLY WITHOUT PULLING TO THE SIDE, OR HAVING ANY VIBRATIONS IN THE BRAKE PEDAL...........BRAKES ARE GREATER THAN 70% NEW, AND THAT IS BEING CONSERVATIVE... BRAND NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED OVER THE SUMMER, IT HAD A CRACK AFTER HITTING IT WITH THE GARDEN HOSE ON A REALLY HOT DAY......... KEYLESS ENTRY, WITH TRUNK RELEASE.......... AM/FM CASSETTE PLAYER...........CASSETTES SOUND VERY NICE IN THIS CAR, AND I HAS ALL THE GREAT FEATURES FOUND ON A QUALITY CASSETTE PLAYER...... NORMAL MAINTAINENCE ITEMS WERE REPLACED WITH FORD MOTORCRAFT PARTS, I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO WORKS AS A FORD TECH, AND HE SUPPLIED ME WITH PARTS AT HIS COST......... THERE IS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NO LEAKS OR DRIPS FROM THIS CAR.....IT IS NORMALLY PARKED IN OUR ATTACHED HEATED GARAGE BECAUSE WE USE IT TO TAKE THE KIDS TO THE BUSSTOP.........THERE ARE POSITIVELY NO OIL DRIPS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, IF THERE WAS IT WOULD NOT GO IN MY GARAGE... WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE STARTER CAR FOR A YOUNG ADULT, OR BE A GREAT DAILY DRIVER FRO ANYBODY..........VERY COMFORTABLE, SMOOTH, QUIET, AND TRULY A GREAT DRIVER..........THIS WAS THE BEST SELLING CAR IN 1997......... EBAY DOES A COMPLIMENTARY "CARFAX / EXPERIAN CHECK" ON THIS CAR........IT TAKES A WHILE TO FIGURE IT OUT IF YOU HAVENT SEEN ONE BEFORE, BUT IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE........IT SHOWS I AM THE 4TH OWNER............. THE 2ND AND 3RD OWNER WAS ACTUALLY THE SAME FAMILY, IT WAS A MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER THAT WERE FRIENDS OF OURS, THEY CHANGED THE TITLE INTO THE GRANDDAUGHTERS NAME, WHICH ADDED AN EXTRA OWNER ...... NEVER OWNED OR OPERATED BY TEENAGERS OR NEW DRIVERS, ALWAYS DRIVEN BY "WORKING" ADULTS WITH KIDS............ MILEAGE WILL BE HIGHER THAN SHOWN, BECAUSE THIS IS A DAILY USE CAR...............NOT MUCH, BUT PROBABLY 100-300 MILES BY THE END OF THE WEEK..... KNOWN ISSUES DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR WAS REPLACED, AND THE PAINT DOES NOT MATCH.....ELECTRIC MIRROR DOES FUNCTION PERFECTLY........ WHEN DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR WAS DAMAGED, THERE WAS A LIGHT SCUFF MARK MADE ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR, ALONG THE LENGTH OF FRONT AND REAR DOOR.....SHOULD BE VISIBLE IN THE PICS AND VIDEOS........... FRONT DRIVERS SEAT HAS SMALL TEAR THAT WAS HAND STITCHED....... THERE IS A DENT NEXT TO THE FUEL FILL DOOR......... THERE IS LIGHT SURFACE RUST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL, AND VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUST ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT LOWER DOOR, INSIDE..... EVERY FEW MONTHS, THE "CHECK ENGINE " LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND USUALLY GOES BACK OFF WITHIN A 100 MILES..........I SCANNED IT, AND IT SHOWS A BAD "DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR".....CAR RUNS FINE WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, SO I NEVER REALLY BOTHERED WITH IT...........THE SENSOR IS BETWEEN $40 - $80, DEPENDING WHERE YOU PURCHASE IT............ REAR WINDOWS (ELECTRIC) WILL SOMETIMES STICK IF YOU DO NOT USE THEM FOR AWHILE (WINTER), BUT ALL IT TAKES IS TO OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT WHILE HOLDING DOWN ON THE BUTTON.....THE ELECTRIC MOTORS GET STUCK IF THEY ARE NOT USED FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND A SLIGHT "JAR" GETS THEM GOING AGAIN......THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND IS VERY MINOR, JUST WANTED TO POINT IT OUT...... LOCAL PICKUP IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF JIM THORPE, PA 18229..... CASH AT PICKUP PREFERRED, WITH TITLE WORK BEING DONE AT LOCAL NOTARY.........FOR BUYERS THAT ARE NERVOUS ABOUT EXCHANGING MONEY, WE CAN DO EVERYTHING AT JOHN YURCONIC AGENCY IN LEHIGHTON, PA 18235, IT IS A VERY WELL LIT, PUBLIC PLACE........BUYING STUFF ON EBAY CAN SOMETIMES BE "SCARY" SO I WILL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO MAKE IT FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE...... I DO HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS.......I WOULD RATHER NOT GO THIS ROUTE, BUT WILL DO IT IF REQUESTED........I WOULD NEED TO ADD ON A 3% FEE TO COVER THE PAYPAL FEES........THIS WOULD ALLOW YOU TO PAY WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD UNTIL YOUR TAX REFUND COMES IN...... I AM OPEN TO TRADES, OR PARTIAL TRADES..........FIRST OFF, I WOULD LOVE TO TRADE UP FOR A NICE CLEAN MINIVAN, ADDING CASH IF NECESSARY......SOMEWHERE IN THE $2000 - $5000 PRICE RANGE........ ALSO WILLING TO TRADE FOR MOTORCYCLES, 4 WHEELERS, 3 WHEELERS, SNOWMOBILES, DONKEY KONG ARCADE GAME , MANY OTHER ITEMS.............
