Craigslist wasn't working today. I am lowering the price to $3500 obo...things just keep getting worse financially, and I need to get caught up on some bills. Shoot me an offer, I will work with you!

Persistant, I know. But my roommate/dad is moving way sooner than he anticipated, and as a result I need to find a new place to live. Either a house to rent or a small trailer to buy, but i don't want to cart the vehicles around when someone else can get use from them. I will work with the best offer!

Hey, perfect candidate for a 5 spd swap! I know the guys on the SHOForum do them all the time, but I need to pay to advertise there, and I'm already at a lack for cash lol.

Ok guys. Car NEEDS to be gone. No room and with winter coming, the owner of my trailer court will not let me keep it on the street or on the side fo the house. Now, the only alternative is if I store my TGP at my uncles and drive the SHO, but I don't like Fords. I have one option for storage, but it'd have to be the TGP stored...my uncle refuses to house a Ford product...even for family.

1995 Ford Taurus SHO
3.2 DOHC Auto
119xxx miles, roughly 25xxx on the rebuilt engine
Full Leather interior, dual power seats, power windows, locks, brakes, mirrors, aftermarket CD player, power antenna, rear tires are practically brand new, still with the nubbies...front tires have miles on them, but still good tread. The engine runs excellent. Brand new fuel pump.


The Good:
- Zero rust. Straight body, and quiet interior. Extremely clean interior as well.
- Aside from the fuel pump that has ben replaced, this car has been extremely reliable. I lent it to my friend who drove it for like 2000 miles while she didn't have a car...she loves driving it. I love how it runs and how it drove when I drove it, but I seriously cannot stress enough I'm not a Ford guy.

The Bad:
- Ford.
- The tranny lost second gear not long ago, though talking with a mechanic recently, he beleives it may just be linkage...I have zero clue and really don't care to fix it. I'm not a Ford guy...I just got a good deal for my Camaro with this, and it seemed practical. Love how dependable it is, I'm just not a Ford guy. I drive it still from New Ulm all around Mankato, typically 200-300 miles a weekend to save on gas, and it gets around just fine...occasional kick, but if I drive it nice and steady, you don't hardly notice it. Hasn't affected the gas mileage...gets surprisingly good mileage...around 23-28 MPG.
- While the whole car is factory white, on a cloudy day, you can tell them hood and front bumper were repainted a different white. Don't look for it and you probably won't notice it...I'm anal and notice everything.

So, I was asking $3500 before, when everything was in 100% working order...now that it has that missing OD in 2nd, I'm asking $1600...I believe this is a fair price since it still runs excellent, drives fine, and has the rebuilt engine and newer rubber. However, I am open to offers and possible trades...if it's a GM, then I can store my TGP for the winter and drive a reliable GM...please, though, no Fords lol.

BTW, my repair shop quoted me $560 for a complete tranny rebuild if I felt like going that route....parts and labor there...I guess SHO's use standard Taurus trannies so that's why it so cheap.

Bump for a nice car.. VERY clean inside and out, and I rode in it as well; very fast!
Good luck with the sale!
