I just make suggestions, but DO NOT invest $2100 into a 10 year old Taurus, Many / Most people don't know you can purchase an excellent second hand / used vehicle for under $10,000 But NOT, from a auto dealer. Make a plan of action, locate aTop auto tech (check at least 3) ASE certification, means nothing! ask for references.. in your area, inquire about Pre purchase inspections... $200 and it better be very complete! Research Manufactures and MODELS every company builds there JUNK model(s)...low level base or series. Take your time, its your money and choice. IF you do LOVE your '06 Taurus and want to drive it more years spend the $2100. Regards
