98 Taurus - more than just a Hertz renta

My 1998 Taurus has seen an unusual combination of highway and city mileage since I bought it (new). The V6 has plenty of pick up and it cruises nicely. The ride is above average, although there is less road noise in the newer models (I travel and rent a lot). ONLY problem has been that once I changed the factory brakes, we went through pads like crazy. Just went back to factory, and now its fine. The paint wears well, and the vehicle, when clean, always surprises me with that "new" look. 75,000 miles and counting. Handles well, with just a touch of body roll - but keeping good tires on it keeps it fun to drive.

I just bought my 98 SE Touras (salvaged title) and i just love it. I just put blue headlamps in and thier the best ever i love the oval lights, i want to buy rims , and i just bought a spoiler (SHO spoiler) i just bought proformace exhust tips it added 16 HP! i also added a "Ford Racing" sticker under my hood that makes your car look more stylish.i added a KOSS CD Changer to my car audio, however there is no bass, but they still rock, i love my oval dash too! The Tranny still runs without a 50,00 mile flush!!!!!

I take my Taurus through rain, snow, shine, and etc. I really like the performance quality and especially the 5 star safety rating.
Bad transmission

Transmission went out without any warning. Ford Dealership wants $3067.00 to repair the damange. Too much money for a low milage car. I have taken very good care and serviced the car every 3000 miles. Dealership said something broke in the transmission.
Great Road Car

This has been a great car, especially as a road or touring car. The car feels glued to the road. It has been a one owner car initially used for my sales job. The gas mileage has been excellent 35 mpg highway/28 mpg city. I have servied this car every 3000 miles and it remains in great working condition. Black exterior and grey interior.
