Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Houston, TX

I like the gas mileage. I like the heated seats. I love the leather interior, and the color of the vehicle is nice. The build of the vehicle is much nicer than previous builds. There's lots of space for the kids, and the trunk is huge for road trips. It is a very dependable car. We love it.

This car is without doubt, 100%, by the cliché country mile, the best car in its class. With 300,000 miles I have never once had to do ANY work to this car. I bought it new in 01 and never even parked it in a garage. I have owned other cars in this class and none are anywhere near as good. My Camry started having trouble just after 125k miles and died just before 200k, and my accord died at 175k. I did however have a Nissan that also made it to 300k miles before the expense to repair it exceeded the KBB value. That is when I consider a car dead and junk it. However, that Nissan was not as powerful, not as comfortable, not as easy to drive, not as safe, and parts came from Japan so it cost more to maintain. On my Taurus with the cruise set at 70 I get between 35 and 38 mpg on the Freeway and have gotten 150k miles on each set of brakes too. Now some people will tell you that they had to have a transmission rebuild or replacement. Now as a well read, multiple car owner and gear head, I know why that is. Most cars the seals will last years and many thousands of miles longer than they will on the Taurus. Now that is in fact an issue with Ford's seals but it in no way caused their transmission problems.
