The dealership photos (i do not have the ability to take my own photos right now) but the good: about 3,000 bucks after taxes and 3% card fee from their bank.
The Good: 3.0L Vulcan, trans shifts smoothly, interior is in decent shape, needs a new carpet due to someone having a heel digging into the area around the gas pedal. MFD in Chicago IL for the 2003 model year in early 2003.
bad: needs a new passenger fender, lenses due to yellowing, and a new stereo harness due to the prior owner removing his aftermarket unit and not properley reinstalling the factory unit

One thing that i am suprised about, the 3.0L Vulcan really can have some get up and go to it, despite having the lower HP rating and torque rating of the taurus V6 engines.

Modify the exhaust and give it a good SCT tune. You will be amazed at the Mad Vulcan Grunt.

Looks like a nice car. The Vulcans seem to really like cool temperatures. I needed to get ahead of someone last night and it threw me back in the seat pretty hard when I floored it.

No, the online price was wrong, in person it was 2500 bucks. Plus dealer fees and taxes, etc.
This is why i perfer dealing with people, but i did not feel like withdrawing a ton of cash from my prepaid debit card, where i had money direct deposited.
Trus03, i will be in the south jersey area on the 3rd-5th of feburary, to get my tags put on. If you wanted to come along i would be happy to meet up at the same location as before, then we blast over to the NJ MVC. Also, do you have the tools to remove the stereo? and do you have a spare ford harness?
Additional, she was MFD in Feb 2003 at Chicago
Additional Additional: I remembered the reason for the price increase, if they do work on the car, they raise the price. I forget what it was, but the car runs perfectly so i have no room to complain.
