ALSO consider buying a Honda or Toyota if your looking for a beater. And please don't post 2 threads about this one...

I bought this 99 E150 Club Wagon 2 years ago with 76K miles for $2,500. Seats 8, hauls couches, plywood, pretty much anything I need it to. Been really good to me. With the 4.6 engine, it's barely broken in. they will go 500K miles easily. Took it on a few camping trips this summer too. These vans are often times overlooked, but it gets 16.5 mpg on a long trip, and my local commute is one mile so MPG really doesn't matter.

Hey guys, I've made a few threads on here about my ongoing fiasco with the purchase of a shady mustang. The dealership will refund my money tomorrow.

Anyways, there's nothing on the market here in Toronto that I like, and I realize the greatest virtue to getting a good deal on a mustang.....so i bought myself a beater winter car to drive around in while I look.

Here is the car

Here is the carfax

2013 Ford Taurus Police Intercepter with AWD......Negotiated and the final sale price is $3600. Has 208,000km (129K miles) and 3 minor accidents.

Drives good, and the seller will get it safetied by a mechanic for me.

But the only problem is that there are holes ALL THROUGHOUT THE BODY AND ROOF......just patched in with duct tape. (From old police lights, sirens etc).....They did a good job of concealing it in the website pictures, but they are such an eyesore. I cant imagine trying to get a girl into a car with duct tape and rust. Any tips?

But then again, its 305HP for $3600.

Any experiences with old cop cars?
What do you guys think?
In case I dont get a mustang, will this last me a few more years?
Should I get my own mechanical inspection?
Deal is not finalized just yet, should I reconsider? Thoughts?

Update: Probably will not go through with the deal. Will be costly to maintain and already a lot of KM on it. Also too much of an eyesore.

Get the one with twin turbos an SHO w/out leather

Put the First Wrap of Duct Tape on her wrists “upside down”! It won’t leave any marks! Tech Tip of the Day!

That wheel-gap though. How can you live with yourself?

If you wanna Honda I'll sell you mine for $1,000 it still goes at 240k miles. Come and get it from VA. I'll even give you a discount since you're coming from long distance.

Dropping a van would cost more than the van itself since there are no kits.

Please don’t ask how I know that!

Let’s just say it was hard to explain to her mother....
