Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Orlando, FL

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.

We basically found out about this car from family members and were given information on their offer. I took their car for a test drive, and it seemed to handle well and liked the car design (blue is also my favorite color). Generally, for a while, it worked very well and had no complaints. Life seemed to be going smoothly with the car as I drove it to classes each day. People also gave me many compliments and were glad I found a decent car for transportation. During spring break on a long road trip to Tennessee for a canoe trip, unfortunately, we'd ran into problems with the engine where the entire main sector of the engine had completely blown out and the car was no longer useable. I had to get it towed back to a local mechanic which was expensive, and they told me the car is unrepairable and totaled based on the total cost of fixing the vehicle. There was also another incident where I was driving back from work in Orlando and the left front tire came off of its axis. Luckily, I was near a meridian and was able to guide the car into the grass without causing much additional damage to the car or getting injured myself.
