Re: Ford Taurus
I'v seen a few hundred or more Taurus and Sables pass thru my father's dealership, I see more good ones than bad...But the bad ones are sometimes really bad they tend to be the same cars that might get a oil change every 10 or 12 thousand, and nothing is maintained or fixed unless there was no other choice, and yes there have also been certain model years that had issues with trannys and the 3.8litre head gasket failer, But the bad cars always seem to stick in minds, I have sold a friend of mine 3 Sables he has loved them all and each one has had over 300,000 k when he is done, He is now in a 2002 Taurus . I personaly own 3 fords 1993 escort gt 1998 Explorer and a 1994 Merc Cougar XR7 4.6l v8, They have all been good cars, but so have been 1985 camaro 1980 camaro 1977 volvo 242 1983 honda accord 1987 ford t-bird 1977 cougar xr7 1971 mustang 1976 ford granada 1980 pontiac 1981 olds delta88 ,the point is I'v seen alot a good cars from both north american and import, but I have seen a fair share a late model low milage junk from the same manufactures some due to bad design some due to bad service (bad mechanics)and some just simply had the crap beat out of them by owners... by the way my boat runs a chevy 350
