Selling the Ford

Post by bringetto »

I didnt want to make the for sale thread a weaping one so ill do it here...

:cry:

Ive got to sell my truck, i really love the thing, just i dont have the cash to put my SHO back together, and if i sell the truck ill have enough cash to buy a new tranny and pay back alot of loans that are ever waiting to be paid off..

I dont want to let it go, its the only thing ive EVER had that has NEVER broken down on me. Ive gone though a 99 honda accord, 73 cadilac eldorado, 86 corolla, 92 taurus SHO, and they have all broken down from time to time, some more than others. This darn truck though, has beat them all and has not once let me down, its incredible.

I hate to let her go but id be MUCH happier seeing it in an enthusists hands other than someone who is going to abuse it.

Thanks for your time guys/girls

I'm with TOF...you just described it as the most reliable vehicle you ever owned :lol: With its good looks, abundant power and ability to handle any situation you could throw at it, seems like the best option. Plus women really like these old trucks!

True, but i drive close to 50 miles each day, and this truck is tearing at my wallet in gas right now. If i keep teh taurus off the throttle i can get 28 mpg

Plus my taurus is faster, has a great sound system, and has a great heater. Ac doesnt apply...

But after i change the tranny everything is new, so this truck is going to go soon

Please take a look at it

Sorry for your bad situation. Try and keep your pu at all costs, looks nice and nice ones are hard to find. Ive sold alot of transportation but only 2 classics and kick myself on both. Last classic was my 74 bronco sold it in november for down money on land. Every time I see a early bronco i miss mine. Hope you pull off keeping it. Best of luck. Sharps-Nut

Sell the tuarus they have way to many problems that will need fixed within 1 yr of each other, maybe even sooner sho means didly compared to fe and if it is an sho it only realy get 18-20 mpg anyway. Sure they advertise 28+ but its bull.

12-15 highway and 5-12 in town seem to be what is the range on our pu's. Besides if it is running right a sho tuarus or any tuarus will bring a lot more money in. Right now nobody but us diehard fans wants an FE big block PU.
