I don't know how close this is to you, but there's this:

Right in your price range, and I bet you could talk them down a fair bit.
That 2007 was the last year of the Taurus. But the 2005 was the last year of the 200hp V6 Duratec, later years only had the weaker Vulcan engine. It's easier to find a Sable LS that had the Duratec and the climate control/leather.
