Ford Five Hundred Usados en Venta

The Ford Five Hundred is a great family car. The cabin is roomy and the leather seats make it easy to clean. It has the feel of a big car, but drives like a midsize sedan. There is an abundance of storage space and two plugins for cell phones. The backseat has its own air conditioner vent and the front seat has controls on both the passenger and driver side for ultimate comfort. The radio/cd player holds 6 cd's and it has a great factory installed speaker system. Some of the problems I have seen with this car is that the side mirrors tend to cause blind spots if you are short. The doors are also pretty heavy if you have little ones.

The car is fairly large, which makes parking sometimes difficult. The gas mileage is about average - I would have preferred a car with better than average gas mileage, and would have happily sacrificed size for improved fuel usage. It performs well for my basic needs, which is to travel to and from some cities on occasion and drive around the city. I haven't had any particular performance issues outside of a recent problem with the fuel pump, which some reviews indicate is a common problem with this car.

I purchased my 2005 Ford 500 pre-owned, with only 120,000 miles on it. Upon getting this vehicle, I have had to replace both front sway bars, the alternator, and the inner and outer ti-rod on one side. (The vehicle is now at 144,000 miles - I've owned the car for a little over 2 years). I'm aware that there is another issue with the car's suspension that I've been putting off repairs for. I honestly feel like the car has just had issue after issue, though after some time on Google apparently suspension is a common issue with this make/model of car. The car also has an electrical issue somewhere in it's system that causes the battery to drain - and require a jump start if the car hasn't been driven in 3+ days or so. (I drive almost every day, so this was only an issue once, but still.). Oh...and the AC has a leak. I'm honestly not fond of the car. I hate the car, but I'm determined to just keep up with the repairs and deep driving the car, rather than invest money in a new car. The car rides pretty smoothly. That's probably the ONLY good thing I have to say about the vehicle.
