1997 Ford Taurus Sho V8 101k Low Miles on 2040-cars

Hello and thanks for looking at my auction.

I feel compelled to address some rather unpleasant feedback I got a while back. I have bought and sold cars from time to time, not as a business, but really as am enthusiast (back home in the UK) and below you will see some of the usual feedback I have received. I sold an Alfa and received the first negative comment from someone who put all funds in paypal, I credited back and he was going to pay cash, then tried to lower the price. I sold it to someone else, who after a month decided he didn't like it and wanted his money back, when I pointed out that it is not the way eBay works, negative feedback left. I was quite upset by this.

A lovely person to deal with, a lovely car, thank you.

Just what I was after. I know where to go for Alfa advise now :)

OK enough of that and on to the car.

Its a fairly low mileage example and the last owner had it for 3 years, prior to that it was in AZ which probably goes some way to explaining how the lacquer has suffered so badly, but on the other side of that coin, why like so many it has not rotted. I am here visiting family for an extended 3 month trip and bought the car to use rather than renting, now that I am returning to the UK at the end of the month, it is time to sell.

So to get what I see as the negatives out the way, let me detail those, the lacquer as mentioned, its a bit clunky over bumps and one tyre needs replacing, but I will do that. The a/c is not blowing cold so I dare say a charge is needed.

Its a no frills cheap and cheerful car, which is exactly why I bought it, someone could make it really nice or someone could do what I am doing, and simply driving it as it is. The windows and power sunroof all work, as does the aerial and drivers seat. Cruise control is fitted and that works just fine too. The leather is in good order, and the mats while needing a very good clean, are original SHO mats. Factory fitted dual exhaust and factory chrome wheels.

The Yamaha engine is quite something to behold, and I was advised by the seller that the cams have been welded, apparently an important issue with these cars, but I have nothing to show it was done, so all you are getting from me too is word of mouth.

Gets out of its own way for a family sedan. If I were staying, I would probably give it a Maco special and enjoy it.

Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate to ask if you have questions.

**Note** I have just noticed some of these photo's are appalling, I will post more tomorrow, apologies.
