I found this and saw it in person.....
2004 Taurus SES $3000 145k
https://lacrosse.craigslist.org/cto/5359779683.html
It is nice. By far the best condition Taurus I have driven in my car search. I think it has the non coolant rusting more robust engine the Duratec.
It has new tires and the fluids (pictured below) appear really really clean.
Is it indeed the best engine option to get in a used Taurus whereas the Vulcans clog heater cores?
A few repair questions though..
1. Gas Cap evap check engine code
2. Slight slight clunk at steering radius center when turning the steering wheel at parking lot crawl speed.
3. slight brake shimmy when braking firmly at highway speed
4. Oil pan beneath is "moist" with oil (simply age?) not oily anywhere past that.
Opinions?
