Side note, I can't stand Ford using the "SEL" moniker for their cars. Ford Taurus SEL...Alright, I know ford will never sell a short or long wheel base model, kill the "L". Nor will they proudly display that their cars feature "einspritzung" as well as the fact that Ford will never own up to creating or engineering a car to ever carry the S-Class letter.

It's about on the right level for craigslist sellers, most are about as smart as a small monkey.

$4500?

290k miles, rust, broken a/c, etc.

$800, maybe $1,000

if he paid $6,000, he's an idiot.

300k miles, no AC, no sunroof, an inflated price and then finishes it off with "must sell". Hey doofus, if you must sell it, set the price LOWER than the car is worth. Everyone thinks they have a gold mine.
