[Shotimes] Value of 1993 SHO ATX w/160k

[Steve Tatro]

It's really hard to tell what it will be worth in another 16 months and
who-knows-how-many thousand miles!

I know I couldn't sell mine, which is very similar to yours minus the
"stompin" stereo, for more than probably $2000.
The general public won't appreciate a 160k miles Taurus.  Most SHO
enthusiasts won't appreciate the ATX.

Good luck.
