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.

I have had my Taurus now for almost 5 years. I bought it new with 3 miles on it. since the day I drove it off the lot I have not had one problem with it, other than the normal brakes and oil changes and tires (also I suggest changing the tires to a better quality...it improves the ride considerably). I do however have a strange rattle noise coming from what I presume to be my windshield (right where the dash meets the windshield) and no one can seem to find out how to fix it or where it is coming from! I love this car and my brother just bought a Ford 500 and I would by another Taurus (which I am due to the 251,000 miles on mine). I would definitely suggest this car to anyone.

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 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.
