I don’t exspect anyone on here to buy this thing to be honest, but I’ll put it up here anyways.
1997 Ford Taraus
V6
~80kmi
Gold
The car needs a lot of little bullshit, but it would deffinately be a great beater/first car for your least favorite child.
Needs a new exhaust. Thing sounds like an angry Tasmanian Devil and is sure to piss of your neighbors at 6am
Needs a full tune up, has a cyilinder 3 missfire code and it obviously stutters
Needs a complete coolant flush/heater core unclogged. The Coolant is disgusting, and smells like rotten fish. 88Slowmarro flushed the heater core and I realized how bad it was, a week or two later the heater core clogged up again. So needs a full good flush and it should be just fine
The car is a little rough, has a huge dent on the rear driver side door, she got the car like that and I’ve seen multiple tarauses with a giant dent in the same spot :wierd
Has some scrapes on the passenger side from scraping a pole at cumbys (not me :lol)
Interior is all there but could deffinately use some loving. WIth a good cleaning detail it would probably be just fine.
Aside from that, the car runs/drive great, has new brake lines, doesnt burn any oil… Was a grandma’s car and sat for 3-4 years before it was given to my wife as a grad present in 07. Has a new cam position sesnor/serp belt, all new brakes, all new tires, new timing chain/belt I have no idea wtf this thing uses I just know that as of 2 years ago the thing was replaced. New Thermostat and various other little bullshit
It’s a solid car just really needs a little TLC, I’d say for small ammount of money you’d have a solid car that has a ton of life left.
Asking 1200 obo, ive seen more fucked up ones go for more so I figure ill start here and get lowballed like fuck :rofl

Still for sale, one guy wants to take it but no way in hell i’m taking what he offered
I looked underneath, the exhuast juse needs the flange gasket and new bolts, looks like 2 bolts came off the studs on the cat so its just split open a bit
Throw a few hundred bucks at this thing and it would be a great daily
