Here is what MotorTrend magazine said after a two year review of this year model Taurus SHO:

“1993 Ford Taurus SHO

By B.J. Killeen | From the March 1995 issue of Motor Trend  

 

Judging by the write-in comments on the survey (and there were plenty), what everyone liked best about the SHO was, obviously, performance. It was the primary purchase influence at 92.8 percent, followed in order by handling, looks/style, and safety features. The output from the Yamaha engine is more than half again as much as from the 3.8-liter six-cylinder in the regular Taurus: 220 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 215 pound-feet of torque at 4800. A 7.5-second 0-60 time and a 15.4-second/88.9-mph quarter-mile run backed up its performance claims-so much so that many owners rambled on about how much better they liked the SHO over more-expensive hardware like BMWs, Mercedeses, and other European sport sedans. "I had a BMW before this car," wrote one happy owner. "I never thought I'd ever like to drive something as much as that BMW. The SHO is every bit as nice. I like a fast car and a family car; the SHO is it!"

The Yamaha-built 3.2 liter DOHC V-6 produces 220 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. Engineering wizardry-including dual intake runners, one for low engine speeds and one for high-helps deliver the SHO's quick 7.5-second 0-60 time and nice torque band

I moved to Texas in 2008 and decided to get my car dealer license because I love to buy and sell cars and motorcycles.  It has always been more of a hobby than a business (thank god, or I would starve)

 

I found this San Antonio and purchased it from an insurance company. It had damage to the right front Fender and grill. I replaced the front bumper, grill and right front fender.  When I bought this car I had every intention to keep it.  I remembered test driving the SHO Taurus back in the early 90”s and I was very impressed. If you read the reviews you will see that most of the owners have previously owned BMW and Mercedes and they like this car as much or better.  If you want to see a great review of this car you can watch this clip on YouTube   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNH1Gv4ew-w

 

 

There was never any frame damage or airbags deployed.  I have pictures of the car before the repairs were made as well.   I have driven the car since the repairs were made and even took it up to high speeds for a bit to make sure it had no issues. (at least that was my excuse)  This car is awesome to drive!

 

This car still has a salvage title but I will give you a “certificate of rebuild”.  If you take the title and certificate of rebuild to the DMV they will issue you a new title that will be a standard title.  Some states will put a note in the remark section that says “rebuilt” or “prior salvage” but the new title will allow you to get full coverage insurance and finance the vehicle if desired.

 

You will be very happy with this car.  It is solid, drives perfect and would rate in “excellent” shape.   I would drive this car across the country without any worries.

 

Issues:  The mirror glass is missing on the passenger side door and the headliner is a little worn where it meets the rear window at the top.  It still looks good but not perfect.

 

 

You will save a bundle of money on this car!  This car will sell to the high bidder regardless if that is $500 or $10,000.

I really hope to get what this car is worth but I will trust the auction to bring whatever the market will pay.  Whoever wins this bid will be very happy!

I will be glad to help with shipping and I know a hand full of guys that would gladly drive this to anywhere in the country to deliver it.   I will be happy to help you arrange to get the car to your home as long as it has been paid for before it leaves my driveway.  I would suggest that you fly into San Antonio or Austin and let me pick you up at the airport.  You would enjoy the drive home and give you a chance to get to know your new car.

The winning bidder will need to pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours and the balance within 5 days.  You can leave the car here as long as you wish once it is paid for.

This is a true NO RESERVE!  High Bidder Wins!

2020 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair ace crash tests, earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS

Fri, Nov 15 2019

The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
