Used 1996 Ford Taurus GL for SaleNationwide

The performance is what you'd expect for a car of the type. It's got almost 250000 on the original engine and transmission and it runs like a dream! It's a very comfortable and affordable car. I get almost 30 MPG on the 3.0L V6. Long live pushrod V6 engines!

Not a great car, but not a bad car either. Roomy, lots of cargo space, and quick enough to get around, but nothing sporty or fun like a real sports car. Take care of it and the engine will go farther than your average compact, but you'll end up replacing a lot of suspension parts and maybe a transmission. If your going to get a Taurus, a SHO is recommended for the sport driver out there, but for engine reliability the standard pushrod Vulcan V6 is best. The Duratech V6 is a good choice for those who want the same from the standard model but with more power.

This was our family car for the last 14 years, very reliable and has broken down only once due to battery failure. It cost very little to maintain and a good family car. The build quality, like many American Cars, very strong especially in both the chasis and door. However, it is a heavy vehicle and doesn't handle well. This car is powered by a 3.0 V6 DOHC engine, with around 160-170hps, very quiet on both city and highway traffic.

It has bad gas mileage. It needs a new catalytic converter. A new catalytic converter costs more than the car is worth. It has ugly two toned interior. It doesn't handle very well. It gets me from point A to point B.

Not the fastest thing out there, or the prettiest, but dead reliable. We drove it for about 6 years and traded it when we felt the need to move up to the minivan
