The "Safe as a Tank" Secret: The Volvo Connection
Most folks don’t realize that the Ford Five Hundred wasn't just another Ford sedan. It was built on the Ford D3 platform, which is a fancy way of saying it has the exact same "bones" as the Volvo S80.
If you know anything about Volvos, you know they are built like tanks. When Ford owned Volvo back in the mid-2000s, they took that world-class safety engineering and built this car on it. When you’re driving through Cole County or commuting from Boone County to Jeff City, you’re sitting in a safety cell designed by some of the best engineers in the business. It’s solid, it’s heavy enough to hold the road in a Missouri winter, and it’s built to last.
The Bulletproof 3.0L Duratec V6
Under the hood of "The Ghost" is the 3.0L Duratec V6. In the world of mechanics, "Duratec" is a name that commands respect. This engine is legendary for its longevity. It’s not a complicated, finicky turbo engine that’s going to cost you a fortune at the shop every three months. It’s a straightforward, naturally aspirated V6 that puts out a smooth 203 horsepower.
Whether you’re merging onto the highway in Columbia or heading down to the Lake in Miller County, this car has the "get up and go" you need without being a gas guzzler. It’s the kind of reliable daily driver that Mid-MO families need.

More Space Than a Mid-Size SUV?
Here is the part that usually shocks people when they come down to dependable.broker to see it in person: the trunk. You can also find this vehicle through amerishop.biz, the parent directory that helps shoppers connect with listings and local businesses across Missouri and beyond.
This Ford Five Hundred has a 21.2 cubic foot trunk. To put that in perspective, that is bigger than the trunk space in almost every luxury sedan on the market today. You can fit eight full-size grocery bags back there and still have room for a spare tire and a toolkit. If you’re a family in Callaway County or a student in Moniteau County heading off to college, you can practically live out of this trunk.
Inside, the Medium Parchment cloth interior is incredibly roomy. Because of that Volvo-derived architecture, the seats are positioned a bit higher than a normal sedan, giving you a "Command Seating" view of the road. It’s easier to get in and out of, which is a big plus for those of us who aren't as limber as we used to be.
We make sure our cars are ready for the road before they ever hit the lot. This Five Hundred has 112,500 miles on it: which is just getting started for a Duratec engine: and it comes with features like:
Dual-zone climate control (so you and your passenger don't have to fight over the temp)
Power driver's seat
Keyless entry
6-CD changer for those long drives through Morgan County
Side curtain airbags for extra safety
