are all 2000 SES the 200 hp dura tech??

I'm not positive whether all 2000 SES models have the Duratech or not. I'm also not sure if $1800 is a good price for a 2000 with that many miles.

As for the heater, what doesn't work? Does it never blow hot, fan doesn't work, etc.? The cost to repair the heater could end up being significant if that is important to you. If nothing else, it could be a good negotiating tactic if the owner does not have a well written estimate to repair the fault.

most SESes had the OHV Vulcan engine, which is not what you want (the engine is bulletproof, but came with a lousy transmission and is slow).

$1800 is a fair price, but since the heater doesn't work, you could probably negotiate it down further. There's not a lot of demand out there for old Tauri.

If you like it, take 10 $100 bills there and plunk them down in front of him. Take it or leave it.
