Once again not a contour�
Almost 4 year old new car
I actually bought this one for my wife. Figures that she gets the 2002 and I get a 1993!
144 miles. I love buying cars at the end of the year, the oddest things show up. This car has been sitting in a warehouse for the last 3 years. It was part of an overseas order that was never shipped. Never titled. I hope it�s not a scam! The dealer has excellent feedback with many automobiles sold.
One more to go (maybe) - and much more interesting to CEG!
99 Tropic Green SVT, Tan Leather, 20K miles, "Nice Twin" (factory stock).
99 Tropic Green SVT, Tan Leather, 28K miles, "Evil Twin" (Turbo AER 3L and more in progress)
96 Red LX, Opal Grey Leather 2.5L, ATX, 22K miles

She'll just be glad it has a CD player!

My parents have that exact car, color and everything. It's a solid car; you'll enjoy it. Doesn't even approach a Contour for handling, but has solid and smooth operation all-around.

Yet it says that it has a duratec
Quote:
The 2002 Ford Taurus is a genuinely satisfying car to drive. Its Duratec V6 is as responsive as a finger snap, delivering crisp acceleration from low revs straight through to the glass-smooth full-throttle shift point.

Read it again. It says the engine is an OHV, not OHC. Just because the review says Duratec doesn't mean it has one. They probably pulled that from a car review site. Also, it's not an SES model, which IIRC is the only model you can get the Duratec in.
