Wonder why I'm having so much trouble locating an '03 Taurus to buy with the Duratec 4V 200 h.p. engine? Weren't many of these made? I seem to be only able to locate Taurii with the 155 h.p. Vulcan 2V engine and I wonder why.....any ideas? 
Because they dont make them in those years.... JUST KIDDING! LOLOriginally posted by Ganton@Jun 14 2004, 10:53 PM

yeah, "the salesmen".....well, some don't know a whole lot.....Like yesterday, I went to this "good rep. independent lot" to look at a couple of nice, clean, relatively low-mileage '03s (both prob. lease returns obtained at auction), and I asked the salesmen if they had the Duratec V6 rather than the Vulcan. He says, "what's a Duratec??" Had no clue. So, I open the hood, and one had a much bigger and aggressive looking intake manifold (the "new, plasticized kind") than the other, but it didn't "specifiy" in print anywhere that it was a Duratec. The other's intake manifold was much smaller and less "aggressive looking," so I wonder whether one was the Duratec and the other a Vulcan???Originally posted by Ganton+Jun 15 2004, 10:44 AM--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Ganton @ Jun 15 2004, 10:44 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by [email protected] 14 2004, 11:28 PM

The motor is an option, so you might not find too many on display. Ask the dealer specifically "I WANT A DURATEC!!!" and he should be able to get a hold of one.
