Used Ford Taurus for Sale in Madison, WI

We bought this car after our beloved Nissan Altima was totaled in an accident. We were given way less than our car was worth by the insurance company, plus we were moving around the same time so we wanted to use a portion of the money to pay the security deposit and first month's rent. Needless to say, we didn't leave ourselves with a lot of options. The car had 128,000 miles on it, supposedly a new transmission, and we paid about $2,700 for it. We test drove it, and foolishly paid for it on the spot rather than taking it to a mechanic. Over the next two years, we've had the fuel pump replaced, the brake system rebuilt, tires replaced, and the cooling system redone. We have spent more than what we paid for the car on repairs, which we found out later was more than the car was actually worth. The car makes moaning noises when we drive it, the A/C blows out hot air, and we occasionally get weird electrical system problems, like the turn signal sound clicks at twice the rate despite normal turn signal function, and the tire pressure light coming on even when the tires have the proper amount of air. The car is basically a time bomb, and we only continue to drive it because we don't have the money for a new car.

I like my car a lot! It has been very reliable, had very few issues. The transmission was replaced before I purchased it, and since the vehicle has required no repairs. The body work is in decent condition, minimal rust and wear. The interior is decent, a couple scuffs and stains but nothing unmanageable. A/C and heat work great which are absolute musts for me. The car has plenty of room for my small family. The gas mileage is ideal for the amount in which my family makes longer trips on the highway. All in all, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
