2005 Ford Five-Hundred SEL AWD

Ford has been in dire need of a breath of fresh air for some time now. So, the people at FoMoCo decided to dip into their vast inventory of chassis and decided that the one found underneath the Volvo S80 / XC90, could be put to good use. The result is the Ford Five-Hundred, and its U.S. only twin the Mercury Montego. Some experts in the auto industry have compared the significance of the Five-Hundred to that of Ford's Model A. Much effort has been put into this car in an attempt to curb declining sales and to attract new interest in the Blue Oval's product line. The crossover Freestyle, basically the wagon version of the Five-Hundred, is part of this endeavour from Ford to draw as many consumers into their dealerships by offering a little something for everyone. The price range for the Five-Hundred, from the SE to the Limited, front-wheel and all-wheel drive, is between $29,295 to $38,845. The tester is an AWD SEL with the Safety Package and it retails for $35,860.
