I bought this car new in April of 2000. Ford had a problem with a few bad fuel pumps that year, and a few bad brake light switches, each of which were fixed under warranty during the first six months that I owned it. Since then, this car has been bulletproof reliable, with no issues until the computer failed. I replaced that. Then, in 2011, vacuum lines rotted, required replacement. Now it runs perfect yet again. Struts are worn out now, and I will replace them myself. Front brake rotors also replaced. A/C is still ice cold after 13 years, and Trans works perfectly never been repaired. Car has 136,000 miles on it and runs perfectly with great mpg of about 28 on the hwy. A GREAT car!
Good

I bought this car in 2006 with 150,000 miles on it. When I bought it. It was a preferred car at the dealership. So it got mantenance, pretty often, Change oil every 3,000 miles, and routine expection every week! In 2011 I changed the spark plugs, plug wires, fuel pump. And resivor. (naturally for a 11 year old car). At 206,340 miles still runs strong.

I have a Black Ford Taurus SES 24 Valve and It has 15 miles on it when I got. 15 years later it run and look brand new with 355,480 miles on it. I oil change it 6 times a year and change the transmission oil once a year. Also all other fluid in the car is changed yearly. I have only change the belt 3 times and the water pump twice the power steering pump once and everything else is great. I added a performance chip and a turbo blower to the unit and it help my gas mileage while increasing my horse power.

I've owned this car since 2002. During that time I replaced 2 coilpacks (DOHC engine), a DPFE sensor and replaced some vacum lines. I also own a 05 Dodge Dakota but on long trips we prefer to use the Taurus. The Dodge is good too but get gas mileage with the Taurus (28 mpg vs 19 for the Dodge).

I got the car in a trade at 212,000 miles ran GREAT. Transmission seemed that it needed something... just fluid :P! Car does leak or burn just a TINY bit of oil, and I think the tranny must drip a tiny bit here and there too. Haven't bothered tightening the bolts down yet. The 24v DOHC provide plenty, PLENTY of power for a consumer sedan. People don't understand why they are being passed by a taurus..... at 200hp and 200 foot pounds of torque you can get on the highway anytime you want. AND pass all the pricks in grand am's, 3 series bmw's, and wanna be fast honda's and toyotas. It's been fun to drive. I live on a winding road and it corners great. The engine will run forever if you treat it well. Just be mindful of the plastic intake manifold (likes to mess with gaskets sometimes). Also be mindful to watch tranny fluid and engine oil. If you get lucky enough to get the Mach Audio system stock (in some ses's and sel's) you'll love it. Stock system is plenty powerful enough to shake my rearview mirror with no sub.....
