Used Ford Taurus - Great Engine REDUCED to $1100 for sale in Elmwood, IL

Vehicle Description

Okay, here is the scoop. My son was driving home from college out West and his car died in Wyoming. It was a cracked engine block and not worth fixing. So, he bought this car on the spot and come home with it. Although it has 256,000 miles, the engine is really good. It fires right up and does not make any unusual noises, and brought him home from Wyoming flawlessly. It is actually a great highway cruiser. Although I have no way of knowing for sure, I think the engine was replaced. Also, the place he bought it from said it passed the Wyoming emissions tests. The body has a little rust but overall is in surprising good shape. Apparently, Wyoming has very low humidity. It has a few quirks, which I want to be totally upfront about. E.g., the AC does not work, nor does the rear window control on the driver's side. There are two brand new tires on the back, but the front two are not good and will need replacing (particularly before winter). PLEASE text first because I generally don't answer calls if I don't recognize the number (too many junk calls). I am on the road at the moment, but will post some pictures when I get back (hopefully tomorrow).

UPDATE: I got back from working in Wisconsin and took a closer look, and realized there are a few more quirks so I reduced the price to $1100. The windshield does have a crack, although it is stable and not in the line of vision. And the speedometer did stop working, which most likely is either a loose cable or it needs a new speed sensor .

In perspective, the only thing that is in immediate need of attention is the speedometer. That should be a relatively easy fix. Do that and throw a couple of better tires on the front, and you could have a really good car, especially for this price level and overall condition.
