I have a 2006 Ford Taurus se it has 192,000 miles on it the car the car is in perfect condition the only thing I had to replace in the last 6 months was the alternator and the idle air control Valve I absolutely love this car
The taurus' are terrific cars! Those engines easily go over 300k miles. I recently purchased a mint 2003 Taurus Wagon and I can't wait to get rid of my problematic 2015 Mercedes c300.... Under 40k miles on it and had over 12 major engines repairs... I'd be broke if it weren't for the warranty!
My very first car was a 2002 Ford Taurus and was in my family since it was brand new. At the time I knew literally nothing about a car I couldn’t tell you the difference between an alternator and a spark plug. I didn’t get an oil change for 18k miles, I had no idea when the last one was before I was given the car, and never put a drop of oil into the car. When I brought it in for its first and only oil change the employees looked so scared when I pulled in and asked if it was going to explode. That car turned on every single day and was used almost every day for delivering pizza and my silly joyrides. So many memories in that car I wish I still had it. Of course I had a lot of issues with me not taking car of it but it was surprisingly never more than a $200-$300 fix. Sorry for the super long and horribly worded response these cars are amazing and I had to share my experience. Definitely wanna get one again one day! I’ve got an ‘08 Honda Civic that I wanna get to about 250k miles before getting a new one
I wish I had a 2000 or up since I loved the look of that generation. I do still love my 1999, but the design from 2000 on after was just so much better
Ford Taurus is great car!! Maybe you could consider buying brand new 2017 Ford Taurus. Ford Taurus of today is safe and reliable car with all latest technology. You can get 2017 Ford Taurus in front wheel drive or all wheel drive.
I’ve got an 07 Taurus SE. Got it in July of 2023 w/ 183k miles. She’s needed lots of repairs and maintenance, but the interior is clean, air blows cold, heat works, and the transmission shifts fine. She’s well on her way to 200k+ miles.
I currently have a 2001 Ford Taurus SE. Ot has 149,000miles on it. I bought it 2 years ago. I really like it. It's in getting new rocker panels and needs a gas tank and a tie rod for the inspection. That's it. Lol. I'd like to see how long this car is going to last. I'm current driving a 2012 and still love my car more. Haha. Thanks for the video on the Taurus I'd love to hear more about your car and what you end up doing. GL!
Mine is still going. Just like any Ford the check engine light is always on. But it still runs and drives fine. We are still under 190,000 miles though. Not driving it as much because I have a new car now. But they are both on the road.
I actually sold my taurus. (Miss it so much) The guy who bought it loves it so much and sold his truck. I got ripped off by a guy who was going to do the rockers so I didn't want to take out more money. The guy who bought it put new rockers on it and a gas tank. We see it every now and then driving around so it's still going strong. Now my son wants one when hes 16 (14 now).
The Ford Taurus embodies the idea of "Not the car you want, but the car you need." I've got a 2004 SEL that we bought in 2017 as a beater/extra car for $2300. At 183,000 miles now it's never broken down or left me stranded. It gets regular maintenance and keeps on going. At this point its value as transportation far exceeds its book worth. Those DPFE sensors either clog or melt-common failure. The auto headlight problem is a result of a "smart module" that has a relay that goes bad. It's generally not woth replacing.
@channell11 I've always loved those cars, I remember when the 4th generation (2000-2007) was still being made, That's my favorite, especially 2004-2007 when they changed the grill and the bumpers
Nothing wrong with buying ex rentals or fleets! You know these companies keep the maintenance top notch at every point, it's their money makers they have to! They are probably better kept then any personal vehicle! I have owned several and no issues what so ever!
I worked for enterprise for 3 years. Maintenance is nearly non existent. New cars don’t break even with 30,000 mile oil in them. I also know how renters abuse the cars. I would never do that to my own car.
@@MatthewSerta1 well from my experience with buying ex-fleets or rentals I have had nothing but experience service and copys of service records for my used cars! Not saying that you are wrong just saying most companies keep up with the preventative Maintenance on their fleets! Also all can not be judged by one !
I got a 2006 Ford Taurus and she's a little over 200,000 miles got to drive her 9 hours somewhere and 9 hours back so that's definitely going to put some miles on her
Older Ford Taurus is one of the best cars on the road. Hauls as much as a Ford Ranger, handles like a sports car, and can't break em from high RPM, and easy to repair when wrecked!!! Traction control sucks, but put good tires on it, you will be ok
I rented one one way to go from Jacksonville FL to Philly PA in 2000..I enjoyed it..it was a new 2000 model, the second year of this body style..I owned at the time a museum quality 78 Mercedes 300D which although was beautiful and classy, it lacked the smoothness and newer features such as cup holders that the Taurus had..
Thats an LX model. Basically a SHO! Has leather interior with floor shift and electronic temperature control, traction control bet it also has chrome wheels with duratec and possibly a moonroof
I had a 2004 Taurus Ses deluxe , such a beautiful car I swear .. fixed it up and everything sadly after a while the transmission went out .. now I have 2002 se planning to later on replace for a 2005 sel premium soon
My 2000 Ford Taurus finally went to the junk yard two weeks ago. Rear suspension finally blew out and couldn't be replaced because the car frame was so badly rusted. Not sad to see it go. My A/C worked OK, but the heating sucked so bad that it made driving during the winter miserable. Took an eternity to defrost my windows. Powered windows stopped working. Car was a very bumpy ride (bad suspension), and the car would sometimes jerk while in idle. Not to mention it had no cupholders and a crack windshield. Good riddance.
Just for the fun of it I did a car fax on your car. You are the 5 th owner but it was only a rental (first owner) for 11 months and 18000 miles. Not a lot of miles for a rental.
I was looking at modified factory stereos with an aux input. I noticed that the the previous years have the same bezel around it and manual temp knobs. I am wondering if you might replace the electronic controls with the previous manual one. The blend door actuator motor can be tricky in my experience it has to be lined up just right. For example the temperature turned to full heat with the actuator connector plugged in so the motor moves to the heat side, manually move the blend door by hand with pliers and then installing it with the door and actuator both set to the same thing. If that makes sense. My cd changer likes to scratch cds in and out of the magazine. It also chirps and skips pretty good. I think if the dmv radio works that's fine with me.
Nice car, I like running old cars as long as they don't end up costing too much. What is that black cylinder thing in between the driver's door and the body?
anthony san francisco it blows heat even when set to AC. Some sort of control module went out which is $400 just for the part. Guess that’s what happens when you go climate control. I’d do it again tho. Lol
It doesnt matter if you blast the ac and it blows heat. If the modules were broken the ac unit itself wouldnt be even blowing wind.. If the compressor as well is rotating then of course the unit in its entirety is fine.
Its the samething that happened to my ford taurus 2000 sel. My mechanic said i needed to replace the AC MODULE that costed around that much. There wasnt any leaks so i used the AC/Pro and got cool freezing air in no time. Jusf sucks because i have to keep pressing the max a.c. button
I have a 2000 ford Taurus i bought it in 99 it's now 19 years old it's been a good car so far the only thing that doesn't work in it is the a.c. which sucks but I'm not complaining

This brings back memories.. the one my parents had ended up with the same issue blown head gasket. It was just not the same ever since then.
It's a nice video ! U keep it up u put whatever u want in ur CZcams channel and I enjoyed ur video 😊
I don’t know you but honestly I like the way you respect your audience. You got new sub 👍🏾..
I purchased a 2003 Taurus 2 weeks ago with 94000k on it and drives great...
I love Taurus. I have a 2004. I know a lot of people who have gotten longevity out out theirs. Hope my last long time too !

Today we are at 185,000+ and it’s still going strong. Going to need some brake work soon.
Curious to see how your Taurus' held up, just bought a mint 05 SEL with 70k miles!

It's definitely the car I WANT , I've got a 2005 SE and I wouldn't trade it for any other car
@@joegartner7736 Awesome! I can't complain, mine's been good transportation and still drives very nice. It's a lot better than it has any right to be.

Wanna send me a copy of that? Lol.
Did you use the Carfax or a different program to do that I wanna do one one mine but they’re pricy lmao

got a ford torus 04 with 130k miles there's problems but i am gonna run it until it dies and hopefully car prices are down

I have a 2000 Sable same car. Cruise, rear defrost, and CD player don't work. Only has 84K. Major power steering leaks and problems.
Recharge your ac very simple fix cost less than 50$. And you can get cold air nice and long term. Use a AC/Pro canister from Autozone or Orielly.

@@JuanTorres-gn2ss yes it does CD player and tape player mine does it's a great 🚗
Probably just the mix door for the heat and ac
Spark plug blew out the front or the rear?
Thanking about purchasing one for my mother this year she is 69 years old

You mentioned having a SHO engine in this 2000. The 3.4 engine stopped production in 1999. You are probably referring to the 3 liter DOHC engine. Ford's other engine was the 3 liter OHV Vulcan engine, not as powerful. You're probably not still driving this car, but I'm retired and own a 99 with an OHV and a 98 SHO with the 3.4 liter. Like the reliability of Fords from 1996 to 2007 when they were simple to work on.
This one has the 3.0l DOHC engine. I do still own it but its no longer my daily.
I just scored a 2000 ford taurus for 500 bucks
Lucky just got mine for 2000
What prescription are those glasses ?
Does any other year model engine fit that 2000
I was told that any car 98-06 are basically the same internally. But don’t hold me to that.
He had this car but he got hit by a dear
Don't title video 2000 and show a fkn 2004
It's a 2000, the grill , bumpers, and steering wheel will tell you that
And those rims weren't an option in 2004
