This car has a 3.8. 158k on it runs like new. Shifts great. I paid $1500 for it and drive about 150 miles a week. In two years only put on brake pads and tires .

I bought a 1992 Ford Taurus wagon with low miles in 2013. I can't recall if it had 60k, 70k, or 80k miles at the time, but it's been 5 years and I think I drive 10k miles/year, so likely 80k. There was always a little bit of a transmission gear hunt at 30 mph but there was nothing ever wrong with the transmission. I replaced the alternator, battery, starter, master brake cylinder, and tires. The A/C compressor died in 2016 but it was too costly to replace. Nevertheless, it served me well for traveling up and down the East Coast, traveling, moving, and working for the U.S. Navy, National Park Service, and retail jobs. At 136k miles, it was destroyed by a fuel truck that backed into it trying to deliver fuel. Who knows how long it would have lasted?

Do not Buy a Taurus with the 3.8L

I have owned two Taurus', one with a 3.0 and one with 3.8L. The auto with the 3.0 was a great car. The engine and transmission ran great. Then I purchased a Taurus with the big 3.8L in 1999 with 70k miles on it. I have had transmission problems from day one. The orginal transmission was repaired three times and replaced last year and now it is having problems. Buy the 3.0 stay clear of the 3.8.

This was my first car. I loved it. I had the LX style. It had leather, anti lock breaks, etc. It was a very safe car. Last week it was hit severly and the car was totalled but I was not hurt. This car is safe!!

Bought this car from a private owner in 1998 w/71,000 miles on it. Put another 70,000 on it before selling it in 2001. Hands down the Yamaha 3.0 liter is one of the finest 24v V-6's ever made. It's a darn shame they stopped making it. The worst part about this car is the taurus guts. A total piece of garbage. I spent thousands keeping this car absolutely perfect and it still had some small problems when I sold it. It ate struts, brakes, batteries, clutches and had a myriade of electrical problems.
