Okay guys, so i was driving down the street with my mother, and we pulled along side of a white Taurus SE 2003. It has 15K on it, And it's selling for 10,600 bucks. And i'm seriously interested. I mean it has a spoiler, the sporty rims, no leather, and moon roof

and i don't think that i saw the 24V DOHC thingy...so i'm assuming it's a vulcan. So what i'm really in dire need of some advice. Is an SE the best way to go? I mean i know it's no where near as nice as a SES or SEL but what kind of options am i looking at..that come with the car?

And keep in mind, that i have a 158K miled sable, being fully loaded and a V6. And i couldn't keep the sable if i got the taurus.

So what i'm really looking to get answered is...should i get it and get rid of the sable, or just keep my sable?


Thank you SOOOO much!!

Yeah id go for it. I paid 14,500 for my 00 taurus in 10/01, due to the fact the economy hadnt dropped out yet cause of 9/11. And at that time, the car had 18K. So i would go for this one.

I'm not exactly sure what the car should be going for, but I would hold off for now. I know around here, there are millions of Taurus' that are very cheap. If it's the best deal you can find though, I'd say go for it.

Wait out for a Duratec with a couple of more miles on it; the price should be about the same, and the Duratec comes with the stronger tranny (plus, ITS A DURATEC!)

thats not that good of a price if its a vulcan, granted its 2003, but i found plenty of earlier g4's with 14-25000 miles for under $10k with the duratec and options

So it's a 3.0 pushrod engine with a single exhaust, no leather, bench seating, no munruff, and to top it all off, it's white.

Maybe it'll be worth it if they throw in a curly silver wig and a few sets of false teeth...

I dunno just doesn't sound like a fun car to me. You got the right idea getting out of the car you have with 158k and the original powertrain components, but it's in such good condition and I think you'll really miss all the features the Sable has.

I highly doubt you couldn't find another gen 4 in any colour you want fully loaded in Detroit, for the same price or cheaper. There are just so many of them around.
