Kid, the only thing that I would add would be a contact phone number.... I am not fond of using the craigs list E-mails... I like talking to the poster in person... just my :2cents: .....

Every time I see a Taurus add, it reminds me of "The Champ" when he did his bit on the clean Taurus... :rotflmao:

BTW, the add looks good Darrell :wink:

seriously darrell. seems informative enough to me. i usually break up the selling points in a vertical list instead of a paragraph. seems to make perusing the ad easier for the buyer to see the good points. other than that it is a great ad.

Tauruses had 2 different 3.0L engines: DOHC Duratec (more powerful) & the 2-valve pushrod Vulcan (easier to work on). Also they had 2 different transmissions: AX4S & AX4N (supposedly the better one). I would have included which ones you have in the ad. Don't know about the craigslist ad space, but I would have tried to include a picture of the engine bay. For the young kids taking a look, would have added if it had CD, casette, or just regular radio. Some came with rear drum brakes & some with rear disc brakes. Looks like a nice car---be willing to take $5k if it comes your way. Good luck.

Forgot to add, in this day and age, might be a good idea to list the VIN # so people can use those car-checky places on the internet for their own verification.

before he snaps, he also says that he would like to give her a Probe!

My sincerest apologies to Darrell and Robin, we couldn't resist :wink:

No Taurus ad is safe from the Champ
