Option package

I'm looking at a 2011 Ford Taurus Limited. I know from the Ford website that package 303A has rain sensoring wipers. My question is how do I tell by looking at a program car that no sticker on it, if the car has this option? My current car has this option and there is a black box behind the mirror, but I can't see this on this Ford. I was looking at a new 2012 Limited and the sticker says it had the rain sensoring wipers. Any help would be nice. The dealer was closed when I was looking at the car, and I have not made it back to that dealer.

Thanks
Carl

Hey again Carl!

Do you by chance have the VIN?

I don't have it now, but I can stop by the dealer tomorrow night on my way home and copy it. Good idea. Thanks

Good deal. If you can get it, visit this thread, plug in the VIN number following the instructions, and you should be able to see the original window sticker. If you have any trouble, PM me the VIN and I'll try to get it for you.

Thanks powerstroke72. Your information worked great. The car does not have the option that my wife and I wanted. I think we will keep looking, or just bite the bullet and get a new 2012 Taurus Limited like we want. Thanks for all your help.

Carl

No problem Carl! Glad it worked well for you. That is definitely a handy tool that someone found once upon a time.

Keep looking and if you find one online, grab the VIN and presto! On the subject of the 2012 Taurus, they're gorgeous cars. Have you seen the 2013 yet? Not sure what your time frame for a purchase is or if you'll like the 2013, but it will be available this spring. Here's a link:
