It is obvious that it was garage kept and the previous owner took pride in their vehicle. The car starts right up, and runs and drives perfectly. The transmission shifts as it should. The brakes stop well. And it runs down the road straight. This car has very low miles for its age and it’s in better condition than most 3-4 year old cars I see on a regular basis. We are a wholesaler and make our living buying and selling cars through the dealer auctions. We only retail the best, cleanest units we get to the public. It is finished in a beautiful silver paint that still maintains its shine. The grey cloth interior seriously looks like no one has ever sat in it. It’s THAT clean. The car features power windows, power door locks, power antilock brakes, Am/Fm CD, ICE COLD air conditioning, alloy wheels, rear spoiler and more. The car rides on a good set of tires. I have personally driven this vehicle and it rides smooth and tracks straight at 80 mph +. There are no check engine lights, strange noises or fluid leaks. The engine is quiet, smooth and powerful. These Tauruses are great reliable cars. The offer a very good balance of size, comfort, and power yet still get remarkable fuel economy. This particular car will make a great family car, commuter car, or a safe and reliable first car for your new driver. Now every used car has its flaws – otherwise it wouldn’t be used! Here is what our inspection has revealed: There is a ding on the right front fender The paint’s clearcoat is starting to fade a bit on the rear spoiler The bottom edge of the trunk on the right side has a paint chip that has developed a superficial rust spot There is one small area behind the rear driver’s door on the bottom edge of the quarter panel that appears to have had a small paint repair, however the blending isn’t 100% perfect, there is an ever so slight color mismatch. I took a picture and have included it but it’s kind of hard to see. I have tried to photograph all the flaws as best I can so there are no surprises. Overall it’s a VERY nice car especially for the year. I would rate it an 8.5 /10 overall and I’m VERY picky with cars. I tend to be overly critical and under describe cars, but I’d rather you be impressed when you get your new car rather than disappointed due to the unrealistic descriptions that many dealers offer. We are not only selling cars but trying to make friends, and over the years have had many repeat customers and referrals. Please scroll down and see all of the detailed pictures I have included in order to better see the condition this wonderful Ford Taurus SE is in.
