I bought this ford Taurus in the year 1997. I was a foreign worker in US. Since I got a job in Colorado springs I want to commute to office. I bought this car with a agent who was nearby. I know it is not a good car. I met a accident with the car. It was because of driving in ice. The car was not suitable to drive while in snow. There are no specific controls to drive the vehicle in ice. The steering control doesn't function while there is thin ice in road. But it was very cheap. I bought it for 1100 dollars. I used it for about 9 months for my office commute. While in accident I had minor injury but lost my windshield and bumper. Since I dint have much money I dint replace the bumper but I replaced my windshield. To say about it, was not a good car but took me to office for 9 months. It is a four door automatic car which is a American car. It is ash color and had around 50000 miles already run I think. I might be wrong in the mileage as it was long back and I dint remember correctly

I enjoy the fact that I could buy this car second hand, pay off the entire price and still get many miles of good use out of it. The parts are found nearly anywhere and are relatively cheap to replace. The engine is straightforward enough that most maintenance can be done by my husband and I, saving tons of money. Financially speaking, this was a fantastic investment for a daily commuter
