So this deal came out of nowhere... but over the last week I was fortunate enough to come across this car which was a steal, and happily coincided with a slew of problems with the Raymobile Wagon.
It's a Gray 2004 Taurus SE with a black interior built in October 2003... and basically no options. But, it's mechanically pristine and only came with 97,480 miles. It's super clean on the inside and it was owned by an old woman that basically used it for getting groceries once a week - and I have all the paperwork and maintenance records I could ever ask for. They had owned it since December 04. Conveniently it's been getting serviced at my dad's shop since 2010 so I have further assurance of its mechanical condition.
Unfortunately I got it registered and on the road this afternoon right before I had to leave to go back to college and so it's going to be parked modless for 3 weeks, but come thanksgiving it'll get more interesting. As for now I'm just thankful to have reliable transportation.
I'll update more later but here's a few pics of it. Only mod so far is dome light LEDs from the Sable.
