I take it that the SHO was gen 2. It was a 92 model Taurus. It had
120K miles on it but was in really good shape other than the
suspension being shot. We at the dealership do not go what the car is
worth because it is a particular car but rather the condition of the
car. Since the car was in such good shape and a good sound system in
it, we should have gotten more money, but since it was over 5 years
old and had on it more than 50K miles on it we sent it to auction and
we always get ripped off when nice cars go to auctions. I don't know
Taurus or SHOs for that matter, in fact this is educational for me.
All I'm into is DeLoreans and Ford Rangers. Odd combination if you
ask me but what can I say.
I'm learning stuff from you guys.
