Used 2002 Ford Taurus for Sale near Merced, CA

Owned this car about 4years - 2nd owner. I define the 2002 Ford Taurus as middle class luxury and a middle class price. It's a great car for the money. My Taurus has a few nice options like CD changer, moon roof, auto-on/off courtesy lights, driver's adjustable foot pedals, and the 24valve DOHC 3.0L Duratec V6 engine. One nice thing about the Taurus is that due to it's commonality on the streets you can easily find salvage parts if needed. Took advantage of this a couple of times when someone ran it over curbs and broke the wheels - easy to find in salvage yards Performance is good enough for a mid size sedan. Enough power to get onto freeways and pass with ease. Suspension works fine for moderately aggressive driving. Body and build quality seems good and the car does not rattle or squeak at 140Kmi. Repair problems and been acceptable up to around 120Kmi - Replaced three ignition coils at 80Kmi. Replaced A/C compressor at 90Kmi. Replaced water pump at 100kmi. 130Kmi - A/C evaporator sprang a small leak ; an expensive repair that requires removing the dashboard to get to the evaporator. Driver's seat leather developed some deterioration and tears.

Performance is ok, accelerates and brakes great, handles well, hasn't needed any repairs as yet, but has an electrical issue I need to have looked at, hopefully not too catastrophic, look pretty good, but I like sportier styles, no repairs so far but gas mileage is what you'd expect for a 6 cylindar (not great). It drives pretty good and it kicks ass in the snow, 10 times better than any car I have ever owned, Love that! I would reccomend this for a commuter car, not for a fun car.

IN the past 5 yrs i have owned it, i havent had to put much into it or replace anything mayjor. Has neevr left me on the side of the road and has great power under the hood> It gets great gas milege and it looks great for its age i would deffo buy another Taurus again down the road .

This is really a nice car. I bought it new and drove it for 105,000. No problems. I was able to replace my brakes (rotors & pads) without any problems. This car rides like a Benz. Very roomy and comfortable

ride was bumpier than my 03 sedan, but normal for the different suspension in the wagon. generally a good car, except for the power antenna not working.
