Traded in my CL-S for a Ford Taurus

Just for 2-days anyway.

Getting some services done tomorrow:
15,000-mile service interval
Annual State inspection
Replacing broken headlight (Bambie hit)
Tranny fluid change

All in preparation for my 2,200-mile round trip to Florida next week.

Man this sucker is a trip.
155 snarling Horsepower under the hood, 4-Doors, Marshmallow suspension, cloth covered seats and 0 to 60 in well under a minute.

Hell, it’s a free loaner so I guess I can’t complain too much.

Kudos to Lehigh Valley Acura for getting all the replacement parts in for me and having a loaner available to pick up the night before my scheduled work.
Even if it is a Ford Taurus.

Shawn S,
You mind me asking you how much it costs for you 15K mile service. I got mine done this weekend and it was $199, I thought that was kind of steep. Thanks!

I think they said 240 minus the “Preferred Customer Discount” which should bring it to something under 200.

YUP….I have to do the entire front end with a nice thick application or two tomorrow night so the bugs wash off easier after the trip.

I got my car from Lehigh Valley... the loaners are free? What about for state inspections? What about something that isn't covered under warranty?

Any service, warranty or standard maintenance gets you a shiny Ford Taurus FREE for the day.
You DO need to book the car at least a week in advance so they are sure to have one for you.

Lifetime FREE State Inspection and wash job as well.
