Ford Taurus - Good Riddance


by mistrtonee: Written: Oct 01 '00


Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: In 1995 it was a nice used car
Cons: Early failure of many parts in the vehicle

I just got rid of this vehicle. My family bought it used in 1995 and it was my first car that I had driven from the moment I learned to drive until just a few weeks ago. During the time that I owned the vehicle the rotor cracked causing the wheel to fall off (luckily while moving slowly). The air conditioner went bad around 60K miles and never really worked again after several repairs. The transmission started failing before 100K and finally went out around 110K miles. I had the transmission replaced and it began to fail only 15K miles later. The water pump also went out and the brakes began to stick. Even though only the first rust spots were beginning to form on the vehicle, it felt as though it was only a matter of days before something else would go wrong, so I traded it in for a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. Unfortunately, the dealer would only offer $450 for the trade-in value because of its poor condition. This poor condition, after 127,000 miles was only the result of regular wear and tear and more than $5000 invested in repairs over the course of 5 years. If you are a regular mechanic and think you can get a bargain on this vehicle then go for it, but otherwise I would recommend steering clear.
