Good News:

1997 Black Ford Taurus SHO, very fast, 145,000 highway miles well maintained. No accidents.

The motor is a V-8, motor area is very clean and looks new. Paint is in good overall condition with a few minor blemishes (see pictures). Leather seats, top, dash, moon roof and side door panels are excellant condition. There is a quarter-sized stain in the back seat (see pictures). Wheels are in excellant condition with no marks or dents and shine very nice. The tires only have 2,000 miles on. There are new brakes, new pads, and new rotors with less than 2,000 miles on.

Has AM/FM cassette radio, 6 disc changer in trunk with Mach sound system. Front driver side tweeter is partially blown, and when turned to high volumes, it will distort.

No known fluid leaks.

Bad News:

This car stalled out two weeks ago. The car was taken to the service station, where the ignition coils and spark plugs were replaced. After further diagnosis of the engine, the mechanic determined that there is possibly a bent valve. As of 5-02-05, the car will start and drive, but is not safe for road travel. The winning bidder will be responsible for all cost associated with the transportation of the car to it's final destination. Again, this vehicle must be towed or shipped from its current location to the winning bidder's location. There is no warranty and is sold as is.

This is not meant to scare bidders away, since the car was running great until just recently. The above description of the problem is an honest report of the cars current condition. I have just recently purchased a new vehicle and do not want the responsibility of fixing or transporting the car from its current location of Montello, Wisconsin. Please note that within the last year, over $1,000 has been invested with new mass air flow system, ignition coils, spark plugs, brakes, brake pads, and brake rotors. The oil has been changed regularly.

I have tried to fully represent the car and the few blemishes to the paint and interior with the pictures listed. For more pictures are any questions, feel free to email me at:

scott-moeller@hotmail.com

The car is located in Montello, Wisconsin, which is 50 miles north of Madison, Wisconsin.
