Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Lexington, KY

The Ford Taurus is a great mid-size sedan for the money. It is a very common car so you will likely know a fellow Taurus owner. The car seems to be very simply built and is very reliable. Everything still works on this car including the power windows, moon roof, air conditioning etc. That is unusual for a vehicle with over 200,000 miles and 16 years of service. I have had to make some minor repairs on my Taurus, but it has mostly been DIY projects because the car is so simply constructed. Finding information online about common problems with the car and how to make repairs is also very easy because there are many of them on the road. The car handles and rides well, comparable to any midsize sedan of its class. There is also a large used car market for the Taurus, so one can be obtained at a very reasonable price almost anywhere. I have had a little trouble with bearings, tie rods, and ball joints in the front end of the car but nothing that I wouldn't expect for a car of it's age and mileage. I had most of the front end replaced for a few hundred dollars at a local repair shop. The paint on the hood of the car has also seemed to oxidize more quickly that the rest of the body of the car, so I'm not sure if that typical of the brand or simply a defect in my own Taurus. In conclusion, I would recommend the Ford Taurus and say that you get a lot of bang for your buck with this car.

My husband and I bought our Taurus new from the dealer when we became grandparents for the first time. We had had a van while our own children were younger and had retired it once they were in high school to a sporty utility truck that we both drove. I wasn't working so we really weren't a two vehicle family. But when my daughter became pregnant we knew we were going to be very hands on and active with our grandchild. We purchased the vehicle in December with the grandbaby due in February. It had everything we wanted. When we were all out and about it was just my husband and I and the grandbaby. We didn't need anything big but we did need something big enough for a car seat and to be comfortable for us all. The car provided a smooth ride, which is essential when traveling with an infant. Then we had a 2nd grandchild and had enough room for all four of us. If another one comes along we may just have to get a station wagon.
