Beautiful red 1994 Ford Taurus Sho. This Sho is original, other than the paint. This is a rare and unmolested Sho. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially one with such a nice exterior and interior. The 3.2 Yamaha V6 with factory 220 horsepower runs great. The engine does not overheat or sound like it is falling apart. The acceleration is there when you need it. Automatic transmission shifts like it should. It you punch the accelerator, the car will accelerate very quickly. Factory dual stock exhaust sounds good.
The car was painted approximately 5 years ago. It was a very nice paint job. Not perfect, but a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. I get lots of stares and compliments everywhere I go. The original slicer rims look nice. The body has some minor door dings, but no other body damage. The cladding and body parts are all there, and they look nice. There are only two small areas of rust: First one is on just behind the rear passenger door. It is on the upper rear pillar area. The other one is on the same side on the lower quarter panel area. Both are about the size of a 50 cent piece. I took photographs of both of them. You can't see them unless you are close to the car and looking for them. They are starting to bubble under the paint. The rest of the body looks very, very nice. No rust including the trunk lip, door jambs, etc. When you look under this car, you will see a clean car that is not ate up with rust. Tires, brakes, and exhaust are good. Suspension feels fine. Car drives and stops straight. Interior is very nice. The leather is a solid 9.5 out of 10. This includes both front and rear seats. Carpet looks almost like new. Headliner, door panels, etc. look great. (little marks on both arm areas of front doors from being 20 years old). Some of the interior trim pieces are broken, but these can be easily replaced. A vent or two has the plastic broken too. Auto climate control works perfectly, but the buttons are worn/cracked like almost all other Sho's. Dash looks like new. All glass is in great shape. No funny smells, and no evidence of past smokers.
This car is basically ready to drive across the country. I drove the car to Miami three weeks ago, and it ran perfect both ways. I parked it in my garage when I got back home, and it has not moved. You can pick this Sho up and drive it home, wherever that may be. There are some minor issues with some of the power options, etc. I am going to list everything that I can think of. Remember, the car is 20 years old, and you are going to have some minor things wrong. The good thing is that these things can be fixed a little at a time.
The car has 185,000 miles on it. I was told when I bought the car that the engine had been rebuilt not too long ago. I had a mechanic check the engine and he said that it has high compression and seems to run very well. After sitting in my garage for 3 weeks, I had a small oil spot on the garage floor. It is about the size of a quarter. I do not know where it is coming from. I have not had to add any oil. Whevever it is leaking from, it has to be very minor. Valve cover gaskets will eventually need to be replaced like most Sho's. They have a very small seepage out of the one side. I cleaned it up and it did not leak at all on my trip to Miami. The check engine light comes on some times. The code showed that it had a bad egr valve. I had one installed. Then it threw a code for a crank sensor. I had that replaced. Now it is off, but it could come right back on. This is emission only, so it does not effect the operation. The idle is smooth, and the acceleration is smooth.
Transmisson works perfectly. The overdrive button on the side of the gear shift does not work. Not that you would ever use it unless you are towing a trailer.
Air conditioner works great, and will freeze you out. The bearing on the compressor is just starting to go out, and it has a minor squeal. If the squeal bothers you, you will have to replace the compressor. Eventually, I am sure it will go out.
Air bag light flashes on and off. Code shows that a ground wire is off. I have not been able to locate the loose connection as of yet. I do not have the equipment to trace it down.
Outside keyless entry does not work to unlock car. It will lock doors, etc. Not sure what is wrong with it.
Cd player does not work. Fuse, broke, short?
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Factory radio amplifier for radio seems to shut off when you put the brakes on. Electrical problem somewhere.
Coolant recover tank (reservoir) for radiator has a leak. It will eventually need to be fixed or replaced. This is the little tank that holds any overfill from the radiator. I just noticed it yesterday.
Power sunroof works 99 percent of the time. Seems like a rare short.
If you read everything above, and also according to the mechanic, there could be just a main loose ground wire that is causing these items not to work, or to work at times. Unknown if this is correct or not.
All lights are functional including fog lamps. Interior lamps work correctly.
So there you have it. Sho's are tempermental, and usually always need some type of tinkering to them. On the plus side, they are rare and are great performance cars for the money. Most people do not even know what they are until you pop the hood.
I bought this car about a year ago with the intention of keeping it, and slowly making it perfect. After receiving 5 tickets in my gated community as well as numerous warning letters, I must part with my toy. Seems like I have a rule that I can't park any cars on the street after darkness. My wife is tired of her car sitting outside, so the Sho must go. I was told that this car only had older mature owners such as myself. I would say that is true by looking at it. The car has also spent the majority of its life right here in Florida. I have only put 1,000 miles on it or so, and have only driven it on beautiful sunny days.
I have not set any reserve. The higest bid will win this car, unless someone uses the buy it now price. Please remember that once you buy the car, it is yours. $250.00 deposit within 24 hours of winning the car through paypal. The remainder must be paid in cash and the car picked up within 7 days unless other arrangements have been made and approved by me. If you want to know something about the car, or see something, please ask. I reserve the right to remove the car at any time, as I am going to advertise it locally too. If the car does run the course through the auction though, I will honor the bid regardless of the price. Clear title in hand and ready to go. With the great slicers, body panels, interior pieces, power options, leather seats, etc.....this car would be a good buy even if it did not run. Well, as I said, this car is ready to drive to California. Good luck!
On Jun-14-13 at 17:19:04 PDT, seller added the following information:
Two more things. The button on the gear shift that I listed above allows you to manually drop the car down from fourth gear (overdrive) to third gear. The transmission shifts great through all four gears the way it is. If you decide to tow a heavy trailer or pull something, you may want to get it fixed. I never had time to check this button out. It probably is something easy like a fuse or loose connection, but I do not know this for sure.
The power antenna does not operate, which makes me think that loose ground wire could be causing most of these little electical problems stated above.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
