1994 Ford Taurus $200! beater.. NY
1994 Ford Taurus GL
3.8L v6
120k miles
power steering, power windows, seats etc.
okay this car has been with my family for a while
we bought it used from metro ford in Schenectady New York
at around 45k miles the engine started to knock so we brought it back under warranty and they did a pretty involved rebuild, new crank all new bearings, piston rings etc.. so basically the engine has about 75k miles on it right now...
the problem is the transmission is starting to go, it doesnt slip in first or second but for some reason it shifts to neutral or wont downshift sometimes, most noticeably on hills. yes i checked the fluid level and it is fine..
i have 2 other cars, and i don't really have the time or space to fix this car. although i wish i could because i know its a good cruiser and will miss it during winter. i can get a low mileage transmission for it that i will throw in as part of the deal but i'm not going to install it. so for 200$ you have a real good beater, + whatever it costs to install the transmission, or install it yourself.
clean title never in any accidents. can provide vin number and get pictures of the car if anyone is interested.. but please dont waste my time! this car is running and if you are close i can drive it to you or you could drive it home maybe..
and please no flames..... because honestly come on i'm only asking 200$ i see rusty 1988 crx shells with no motors going for 700- 1000$ on here..
help me out guys
