What It's Like To Drive A $500 Ford Taurus

I decided to film a quick review of this 2001 Ford Taurus while driving it back to a customers house. Considering there are dozens of these for sale under $1000 this is truly a bargain for the amount of space and engine you get.

I have a '99 Ford Taurus SE with a little over 90, 000 miles, which I've had since 2013. It was my first car, and I still love it. It's so comfortable and smooth.
Though the A/C stopped working a few years back, and some events in my life prevented me from getting it fixed. I finally plan on getting it done this summer, despite the approximate $1000 price tag. LOL

This is exactly like my first car. Got it for $200 and all it needed was a starter and ran for another 2 years without any issues except the AC didn’t work my last summer owning it. I abused the heck out of that car and was super reliable

Mine is a 2004 white on gray leather and its only got 104k miles and I bought it from an older man who had it garage kept most of its life. Great on gas and rides like a crown vic 👌

My first car was a 97 taurus and lasted me until i sold it at 210, 000

Mine is an 03 Centennial fully loaded, leather, sun roof. I kept it in my garage. I only have 56, 000 miles. I may buy 1 more vehicle before I leave this world but won't trade or sell my car. My Son has already told me he would be happy to have it when his Ford bites the dust. I am so happy he doesn't have to have a brand new car every few years. He is driving the car we bought him when he started driving. I told him then he had to take care of it because we weren't buying him another. He has taken me at my word.

I own a 2002 Ford Taurus SE. I wish Ford put discs on all 4 wheels but they obviously went cheap with drums on the back. Mine had 99, 500 miles when I bought mine in 2020. However it needed alot of work due to the fact the person who owned it never maintained it. It had more wrong with it than I could detect upon test drive for which I somewhat regret ever buying. Engine light still stays on, although no mechanic can find the cause. It drives okay but is a bit touchy on acceleration as long as I am easy on the fuel pedal. Sometimes the engine light goes off, then pops back on and remains a while. I figure something is simply not perfect due to its age and the computer is sensitive to it. But after all the work it has had it gets me around as a good commute car. Ya I could buy a newer car, but the way inflation and the economy is right now that is not an option for a whole anyway.

I have a 2011 Taurus. Love it. Just don’t like the low whining noise from the injectors don’t really hear it in the 2013 and ups tho. Maybe my injectors needs to be cleaned eYe duNnO but the noise is only noticeable inside. Can’t hear anything outside the car tho.

It cannot be older than a 2004-2007. That is when they got that nice refresher.

[matthybel]

Looks like a GL model with the base 3.0 Vulcan pushrod engine with the bench seat in the front with column shifter, the upsale LX and SHO models had bucket seats with floor shifters and had Duratec 24V or 3.4 V8 Yamaha Engines and Chrome wheels and dual exhausts.

Oh GOD! I used to work on those crap boxes. There was only one good one. They were th SHO. I did smoke them no problem in my Quad 4

[alabamadeep]

Paid 500 for mine. None runner. Invested 200 into it. Running 2 years no issue until now. Still going good after some maintance

[HectorHernandez-zk]

I just bought mine not to long ago its pretty beat up but i already like it got pretty scared when everyone started telling me it was a bad car and i made a bad purchase but after reading made me feel a lot better

[ironinquisitor]

I prefer the 86-95 Taurus. I'm going to purchase a 1986 Taurus LX Wagon soon and restore it. Then some day I'll find a lower from L or GL wagon and then that into an a Taurus SHO wagon.

[Slap]

318k miles on my 02 and it’s my first car I’m keeping it

[McElroysMotors]

I just bought a 2003 for $1700. Ton of room, boaty as hell, but a ton of room for my 6'5 brother. With 155 horsepower, she ain't quick but solid enough.

[Froggyman]

The Taurus' are perfect first cars. Not too much power for a newbie to handle, amazing gas milage, reliable as Hell, and absurdly cheap. The Five Hundreds are similarly great, being the Taurus' smaller, less popular cousin, but they're a bitch to work on when you need to and body parts are hard to come by.

[aidancessna]

I have a 2000 ford taurus and i love it 😂

[Tuxum]

My current car is a 2002 I got for 1300, amazing car man

[MrSnake-dhhu]

Judging by the grille and taillights, that's a 2004-2007 model isn't it?

[irtrdavenueel]

I have a 2012 Subaru Outback and it’s similar to a ford since the color of the Subaru logo gives away is similarity, since both their logos are an oval shape with a blue background and silver lettering or design it compares, now the 2019 Ford Ranger, and the 2019 Chevy Colorado look similar to a Toyota Tacoma because there are some possibilities that Toyota have their car body parts to Ford and Chevy to make their rip off Colorado and ranger, they’re so like the Tacoma
