High Mile Hot Rod – 1994 Ford Taurus SHO

June 6, 2014

Mostly, 20-year-old performance sedans with high miles are something of which to be afraid – they’re near or beyond the end of their designed lifespans, all the luxury bits are failing and expensive to replace, and the engines are ready for a rebuild. As with all rules, though, there are some exceptions, both for cars known for their longevity, as well as for cars that have been fanatically maintained by enthusiasts with little regard to cost. Sometimes, checking the compression and making sure the critical systems are in working order will tell you more than the odometer ever could. Check out this 1994 Ford Taurus SHO, for sale for C$2800 ($2560 today) in Langley, BC.

Page Not Found – 1969 Peugeot 404

June 5, 2014

In the lean post-war years in Europe, there was a golden age of spartan, well-built sedans that, unlike their American counterparts, were built to be durable to the extent they could be considered heirlooms with a bit of extra care. On their home continent, they served as taxis, ambulances, hearses, and in various other heavy-duty roles. Thanks to their remarkable designs (or the manufacturers’ need to get the most out of the development costs for these costly cars), they lasted long past their natural expiration dates, and some were manufactured well into the 1990s. Mercedes, Volvo, and Peugeot (and Saab, to a lesser extent) all built cars that fit in this category, so for today, check out this 1969 Peugeot 404 for sale for $3950 in Kuna, ID.
