I live in Minneapolis and bought an SEL for my wife yesterday for $19,880 at Superior Ford. Sticker was just over 24. They are also going to install factory body side moldings as part of the deal. The parts came to about $150 and their body shop will paint and install them. This car has no options but really everything my wife wants comes standard. This is a fantastic car for the money.

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 25, 2007 10:38 am) The price of the car was on the dealer's website. It included a discount of a bit over $2,500 plus a $1,500 rebate. I was able to get them to furnish, paint, and install factory body side moldings for protection against door dings. Superior Ford in Minneapolis has been a good dealership for me so I didn't even shop around. We bought our 2001 Taurus from them and any service work for my Lincoln, Ranger, or Taurus that I can't do myself (transmission flushes, alignments, etc.) goes to them. I even buy oil and filters from their parts department.

I bought a 1998 Taurus from a friend of mine. It was his company's car. I definitely think he gave me a great deal for $2000. It had ~145,000 miles on it (over a year ago). It has nearly 190,000 miles now. It's an OK. The dashboard lights don't work all that well. The interior light won't turn on when I open the door. The tape player wants to flip over and spit out occasionally. The passenger side electric door lock works independently of the other doors. I get 18-20 MPG most of the time although I drove it from Nashville to Chicago last month and got 38 MPG! The transmission is doing something strange... it is slow to engage and slow to disengage. I can feel the transmission disengage, not when I let me foot off the gas but when I'm pressing down on the brake. The transmission will sometimes bark the tires when first starting off. Supposedly there's a sensor in the transmission that has gone bad and the only way to fix it is to replace the transmission. Of the things I wished the designers did differently, better front cup holders, made the "ashtray" able to open when the center armrest was up/open, a splash guard to allow the drive belt to not get wet when driving thru a puddle, an "idiot light" to show whether the alternator OR the battery was going bad, and less wind noise around the tops of the doors at interstate speeds.
