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!

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award

Wed, Oct 12 2016

Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
