Two more Tauruses to Consider

1 Dollar · Jan 18, 2010

2000 Taurus SEL (Gold) 89,000 miles, 24V engine. Scrapes/dents all around, one quarter sized rust spot above fender. Leather interior, kinda dirty, non-factory window tint. Ran and idled a little rough with hesitation from stops, and the lights would flicker at idle, assuming because of rough and slow idle. Rear end made some clunks going over bumps. Tires 1/2. Pretty average feeling car. $2100 OBO

2001 Taurus SES (Red) 139,000 highway miles, 24V engine. Shiny paint with minimal dings, no visible rust. Ran strong and didn't hesitate at all. Rear struts etc. replaced last year, front end made a scraping noise on a downhill left turn(?). New tires 3 months ago. Real clean looking. $2700 OBO

Any of these sound decent? The 2001 would be mine already if it had a few less miles and if the 2000 hadn't popped up to make me think about it. Maybe use the 2000's price to work the 2001 down a bit?

Thanks

Really think you should find something around thousand bucks, but I look a long time for a car. Check kelley blue book for prices. Used to never buy a car if owner lied about anything. Now you have to allow them about 3 or 4 lies, but no more than that. There are always little old church ladies. Sometimes you have to give them more than they are asking or they will cheat themselves. Try for 80 or 90 K miles on a car like this unless you want to do a lot of work. Any noise you do not personally know about is suspect. Same with leaks. Only pay trade in price. Count out the cash and watch em deal.
