SHOs are nice cars, but they will nickel and dime you to death. That's the only reason I don't own one. Is that an auto or manual? The manual needs a new clutch about every 60k miles, and that's about a $900 job because it's so hard to get to the thing. The automatic craps out around 100k miles. It requires major maintenance at 60k mile intervals. Throw all the random things that break on a 10 year old Ford into the mix, and you've got quite an expensive car on your hands.
Unless you like to work on cars, I'd recommend a Maxima from around that same time over a SHO. Almost as good performance, and much more reliable.
