1999 Ford Taurus SHO as-is

For sale is a 1999 Ford Taurus SHO (super high output). It has a 3.4L v8 engine manufactured by Cosworth with heads from Yamaha. It gets 235bhp. Front wheel drive, power everything, moon roof, aluminum rims. You can expect about 17-24mpg (I get about 22mpg highway and light town driving)
CAM weld status: unknown.
I just got a new truck so I don't need the vehicle anymore. I also need money for my last semester in college.
I took the car off the road in June and have kept it running weekly.
You must meet me in Plymouth, MA and pick the vehicle up.
The vehicle runs and drives fine.
This vehicle is for sale AS-IS. Please review all known issues carefully.
Known issues:
-flex pipe (I welded it back on but it should be replaced. I'm not sure how this affects inspection. a replacement cost $150, quoted at Lou's custom exhaust. Could prevent vehicle from passing inspection. This leak cause CEL codes of p0411 and p0455. This vehicle is not required to pass emissions, only safety inspection.)
-Left Front Suspension (Coil/ Strut unit should be replaced. I have the part but never installed it. )
-Low coolant sensor is broken (this is purely an aesthetic thing, it does not affect performance)
-Large dent on front right fender (someone backed their car into me)
-A/C broken (it works but there's a huge leak somewhere, fill it and it all leaks out by the next day)
-squeaky rear right brake rotor
-Front right rotor warps under heavy braking from traffic. Otherwise it rides fine. If you don't go through stop and go traffic daily this wont affect you.
-Radio, doesn't work. (I suspect it needs a new RCU located in the trunk.) I have a spare radio that will come with the car. This spare does not fix the issues.
-Front drivers seat does not move forward or back, other functions work.
-small power steering leak (takes months to have an affect)
-Steering alignment
What's been replaced in the 4 years I've owned it
-alternator (2013)
-Starter (2015)
-fuel filter (2015)
-rear calipers (2014)
-Front wheel hubs (Moog parts)
- 2 front tires, uniroyal tigerpaw (2015)
- oil, 5w-30 high mileage, every 3k or 3 months
-air filter (2016)
This vehicle will likely not pass Massachusetts vehicle inspection for previously listed reasons. The front windows are tinted beyond the legal limit (this is removable).
Again, this is an AS-IS vehicle sale.
