Nice score. Those 3.0's are dang reliable and get great fuel economy as well. I have always liked the look of that generation Taurus. I have known a couple of sets of twins that shared a car. One was twin sisters. They managed it very well.
The car is evil, I found 4 unused condoms under the back seat. On the plus side I found .78 cents some starburst, and the combonation to the I locked the keys in the car locks.
Not stating that the 3.8 is a bad engine, just that replacing anything on those compared to the 3.0 is twice as labor intensive, just check the shop rates on any items, altinator, water pump ect...
