Used 1999 Ford Taurus for Sale near Texas

Trust this car with my life. In 2007 I hit a concrete barrier and survived not even a scratch. Will have one till Im. 6ft under

I've owned 3 Taurus's. A 96, 99 and 2005. I'm very familiar with these cars. With both my 96 and 99 Taurus's, I had some EGR issues. There's a known defect with the EGR valve that often triggers the check engine light. The issue is caused by some EGR tubes that easily plug up or crack. It's a minor problem that never affects the drivability of the car. I tried to fix it a few times to no avail. But since the performance of the car isn't impacted, I just left it alone. Spray the door latches with WD40. There are door sensors which often malfunction, causing the computer to think the doors are ajar. WD40 applied liberally to both latches will guarantee this problem is fixed. Tie rods seem to wear out every 20k-25k miles, but they're easy and cheap to replace. The headlights aren't very bright, even with the Silverstar Ulta's I put in. This was my biggest complaint about the car. There were many nights I'd be driving and felt like the low beams provided no illumination. I had over 230k miles on my 96 Taurus before it died, so when I decided to replace it, I thought I'd buy a 1999 model. I purchased one in 2007 with only 37k miles on it. Gas mileage in this car is adequate for a car built in the late 90's. At freeways speeds you'll easily be able to achieve 25-27mpg, but city mileage is as advertised, at about 20-21mpg. Engine power is adequate, but not exceptional. Don't believe anyone who says this car is fast. 200hp is modest, but you're not buying the car for speed anyway. I never had any major mechanical problems with my 99 Taurus. I replaced ball joints shortly after I bought it, but that's because I purchased it from an old lady who let the car sit for months without driving it. I also replaced about 2-3 tie rods over a period of 3-4 years. The engine and transmission never gave me any problems. I owned this car from 2007 until late 2012. It had about 115k miles on it when I sold it and It still ran like new. If it weren't for the fact that I moved 2000 miles, I'd have kept it, but I had no way to move it, as this was my second car.

this car is nice drives good i love it.it handles well, and good on gas.. only cost 30 to fill it up.not to much work needs to be done with these cars they are built tought from ford.. this car is a good start car for somone how is just getting starterd

made from quality materials, but isn't put together the best. styling is controversial at best, and power is somewhat disappointing for a 32 valve V8. Handling and braking is better than a regular taurus but it could still use improvement.

Sure it's rusty near one of the tires, but it still runs well. It is the best car I've ever driven.
