Used 2001 Ford Taurus Consumer Reviews
Good used vehicle for the money
I needed something cheap right away to go to school and work, so I got this car for $1500, 150k miles, I wasnt expecting much, car drives great, I take it on road trips, I put into it 25k miles this year. I had to change the starter (oil filter leaks into it if not installed properly). Other than that just keep servicing the tranny and engine and this car would treat you good.
Decent Reliability/Everything else break
The car has worked for what we needed, but every summer so far something has broken with the air conditioner and had to be repaired (Buy the extended warranty!). My Taurus has to be aligned about every 6-12 months. It is roomy and comfortable and the engine has held up quite well. I'm not impressed with the fuel economy. Be sure and get all rebates and don't pay too much for the vehicle and don't count on good trade in value as these vehicles along with most American made ones do not hold their value well at all.
Love My Taurus
The price was right for a new car. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I especially like the roomy trunk. The gas mileage is great for a car that has plenty of power for passing and freeway entry.
I love my 2001 Taurus!
I bought my Taurus April, 2019 with a 141,400 miles on her, and she needed a lot of attention. I had to replace the oil pump, rack and pinion, steering pump, cam shaft synchronizer, both headlight assembly's, tie rod ends, water pump, belt tensioner... Yes, she needed a lot of maintenance but these are wear and tear parts. she now has a 154,000 miles on her and she runs like a dream. My only issue is with the automatic transmission, it is slow to shift when I need to accelerate quickly but it is still operating well.
