Ford Taurus Usados en Venta en Belgrade, MT

It is mid-sized but accommodated both my 6'3" chubby hubby and my 5'0" short self. It is comfortable to drive and has 4 doors. It gets very good fuel mileage and is affordable to have repaired. When I say have repaired, it is not a problem car. I'm speaking of routine maintenance and is a common enough car that I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in the country and any mechanic could work on it. It is an attractive car in a conservative sort of way, stylish but not flashy. It is still an attractive car in spite of it's age. The interior is holding up very well even with the addition of the 65 pound coon hound that we added to the family 4 years ago and goes practically everywhere with us. There is only minor wear to the carpeting and the dashboard vinyl still looks good.

The car is not a standard Taurus, it's a Taurus XL which is more of a crossover-type vehicle, although it's technically listed as a wagon. It's body is more of an SUV style, which I prefer. Ford no longer makes this model - they renamed it the Freestyle, I believe. Overall I like the style of the car and although it runs good, I have had some problems with it. I recently had to have the catalytic converter replaced in order to get the check engine light off and pass smog, although it was not causing the vehicle any problems while driving. Initially I also had to replace the spark plugs and coils, but in my opinion that falls under normal wear and tear and is to be expected. Now, the car is overheating at odd times and I'm as of yet unable to solve the problem. I did recently read that the overflow cap may be the culprit so I'll be replacing that and hoping for the best. It had apparently been recalled for many years due to a design flaw.
