1996 Ford Taurus GL 3.0 V6
Summary:
An unreliable grocery getter
Faults:
I should have known that this car was a lemon when I bought it at 106000 miles for only $3000. The body was in perfect shape, but everything else was a disaster. The biggest problem was my transmission. It kept on slipping and not dropping into gear, and was very dangerous on the highway. That was going to be a $2500 bill, but I am in the process of trading it in now. Other problems is the electrical... It thinks the doors are open when they are not. Also it got a massive oil leak from the oil sender switch.
General Comments:
It was a comfortable ride and the 4 speed trannsmission was nice on the highway when it worked. It was a fast car... I could usually beat most people in it. The A/C worked great and the power features were nice too.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Cooling system flush ever 1 to 2 years as per Fords reccomendation. they don't say this just to waste there time...
Transmission should have been flushed every 30k, I'm assuming that wasn't done either.
Maintenance...
