Ford Taurus (2000-2007) for Sale near Houston, TX

My daughter’s first car. Looks brand new inside and out. Low mileage. Runs great. Great find!

The Taurus has been in production since the 1980's and is a very solid and reliable vehicle. The engine has not changed much since the first-generation Taurus, and the option of a 200hp DOHC V6 is available as an upgrade for the stock 155hp OHV V6. The transmission is a 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The SE edition of both the sedan and wagon have 16" aluminium rims and 4 wheel anti-lock disc brakes. On the inside, a 6 speaker Mach audio system come standard and a 6 CD changer is available. There are also 2 12 Volt cigarette lighter/power outlets for other accessories. It also comes standard with cruise control, power windows, locks, power 8-way adjustable driver’s seat, limited slip differential, and other features commonly seen with other vehicles in its class.

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.

Great car that is easy to drive and good on the eyes. Recommend to anyone with an average sized family or anyone looking for a smooth car to get them from A to B.
