You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, with extra attention to cooling-system condition, signs of past repairs, and overall wear that could affect long-term ownership.

What is the 2017 Ford Taurus's resale value?

That price movement suggests the Taurus has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help limit how much value it loses from here compared with a newer purchase.
