EX-tremely reliable `89 Taurus, $775.....

**Car Guy** · 04-20-2010, 12:58 PM

I have owned this car (a.k.a. 'ol reliable') for nearly 10 years and the time to say goodbye has finally come. This vehicle has been the most reliable year round transportation of my life and has never left me stranded, NEVER. Cosmetically this car looks like hell (mainly due to body rust) but runs/drives great, would be an ideal work car or 'beater'. I was never concerned about looks or cleanliness being my main winter work car but was concerned about reliability. I stayed well ahead of the maintenance curve including replacing many non-maintenance items which commonly fail due to rust before failing. In a nutshell this car needs nothing and should last for some time if driven with respect.....

If you or someone you know is interested please contact me to view the car in person. I have nothing to hide and will be more than honest about everything.....

I forgot to mention an Alpine CD player and amped 10" Kicker is included, sounds good for what it is.....

What's the condition of the interior? What, if anything, does not work?
How much you lookin to get for it?

**Car Guy** · 04-21-2010, 12:02 AM

The interior is a bit dirty and in need of a vacuum but complete with no damage, just normal wear. The interior color is dark blue except the front seats, I swapped in very low mileage light blue power seats (factory were manual) in much better condition. Everything works besides the A/C, never bothered me as this was more so a winter vehicle.....

I am open to offers, stop by and check it out.....

Damn, wish you weren't in a hurry or it's exactly what I'm looking for, for next winter.
I don't want to deal with moving it from one side of the street to the other side of the street all summer though.

The Taurus will be listed on CL Friday, as much as I hate to go that route.....

I apparently no longer have your number. If you could, shoot me a pm with it. Tomorrow I gotta prep the mower for this years usage and do a ball joint on my escort, but all of that is pretty easy. I'm off tomorrow so I will have time to check it out.

Lemme talk to my nephew tomorrow before you stick that on CL

**Car Guy** · 05-26-2010, 10:55 PM

I put 1,000 trouble free miles on the Taurus since posting this thread, still for sale.....

Here is an actual picture, the other side has slighty more body rust.....

**Car Guy** · 06-12-2010, 03:03 AM

TTT, $500 buys this fine automobile.....

**Slow Joe** · 06-12-2010, 09:36 AM
