At most that car is worth 5 grand and that is in perfect condition. In the future take someone with you that knows about cars,also check Kelly's Blue Book on line so you can get and idea what you should be paying.
That whole deal is nothing but disgusting,we are talking about nothing more than crooks,Jessie James without a gun.

There are a multitude of cars and trucks in the shopper newspapers or the regular newspaper for $1900 from private owners . You want to stick with those and make sure that the "owner" is not a shill for a used car lot. If he can show you service records he is probably the owner.
Who cares how old the car is as long as it has been maintained. You would also OWN the car.
Did you have the Taurus checked out by an independent mechanic before you overpaid for it?
I'm afraid that you are stuck with it. $13,000 for any 2000 domestic car is ridiculous unless it has 2,000 miles on it. Don't be a sucker next time. Take the cash you have and see a private owner.
