    Default beat up ford taurus... think its like a 1998?

    my girls car transmission took a shit last night. We got her a new car this morning. runs, but wont go past 35 mph. it just goes into neutral it seems till its at like 5mph again then it has a gear again.

    its rusty, its green, it sits down like the normal issue with these cars. has 3 new tires on it put on 2 weeks ago, it has an exhaust leak.

    $500.00 firm. clean title. (shes gonna dig it out today, should be ready to leave in a day or two so she can clean it out)

    Going to scrap or a junk yard in 2 weeks and ill pull the rims and tires off and sell them separate. if you need an engine for yours or parts this could be good, or if you need a cheap fixer upper for your kids first car or something.

    313-289-7516 Pete, Newport MI.

    Will need to be towed but it will load on the trailer by itsself. can tow for extra $.

    Unless it's an SHO the factory size would be 205/65/15, which changed in 2000 to 215/60/16 due to bigger brakes.
