Figured I might as well make a little thread on this one since I did for my last beater...
Just picked this up ridiculously cheap down here in SC as my new beater to keep miles off the Fusion. 2005 Sable LS with the platinum package. It has two tone gray leather (perforated stopped for gen 4.5), A SPOILER, the aluminum bezel, special wheels, and a painted front grille instead of chrome. Has traction control too, and all the other things an LS sable typically has... sunroof, power driver seat, EATC, Mach with CD changer, keypad, heated mirrors with puddles, autolamps, foglamps, and the 3.0L Duratec... my first DOHC bull.
139k miles...Newer tires, cold cold AC, responsive brakes, drives perfectly straight and suspension does not clunk like on my old beater!
Now...why I got it so cheap... needs some exhaust work, a battery, and a windshield. Otherwise, needs a good cleaning inside and out to be up to my standards for a beater, although it is pristine inside! Bezel is not dinged and the leather is so perfect! Not sure how long I will keep it...The car has seen salt (was a student's car who is from Michigan) hence the rims being flaky and a bit of surface rust. But this is the first bull I have owned in a long long time that does not have any ROT! WOOO! What a feeling!
Here are the initial pictures... and I will update as I begin work. Thanks to Bull Geek for his free storage and help!
