When I see the urban squad cars looking just like my Ford Taurus, I know my car is top of the line. While it is getting up in years it has been my reliable companion. Most of my driving is on urban outings, and the car holds up so well on pot hole ridden streets in the dark and dreary side streets. Every month or so, I end up taking a road trip and that is were it excels. With its strong engine it manages the hills and curves snugly. The cruise control holds the speed so there are no worries about tickets. The Ford dealers in our area keep it up and running, but there have been only a couple of issues. I wouldn't want a car from a dealer that was out of my own neighborhood.

When I first purchased this car, I was a little worried about the high number of miles on it (125k). However, the buyer had the car inspected by a close family friend who deals in auto repair and this person assured me the car was in good working condition. Without any noticeable defects, and after taking the car for a test drive, I decided that I would purchase the car. The color wasn't really my style, but I grew to like it.
