I have a 2006.234,655 miles as of today. Done the recommended service. Have had no major problems. Its important in my opinion to be the only driver of your car. Other people just stomp it and go. Be easy on your car and it will treat you right. Also I purchased this car with 44,500 miles. Its been very dependable.
I have a 2010 with 157k on it and trust me it’s a very solid car! Only issue is my seats and carpet was super dirty when I got mine but that’s a simple and easy fix
6th Gen Ford Taurus is a great vehicle. Get one while you can. 2011 111k miles zero problems. Co worker 2011 180k zero problems. Don't let the water pump scare you, its not the only vehicle that has that setup. Change fluids and don't beat it.
@@Hustle2Succession yes it is. The only work that I have done to the vehicle, which happen in the last 6 months was replace the power steering high pressure hose, new rear shocks, tie rod, and rear lateral bar that rusted out. Thats all I have done to the car beside regular maintenance. The engine though has been solid for me, still purrs like a kitten. I change my oil every 5k miles. I dont think that's too bad for living in the rust belt.
@@Chieftain357 oh ok I’m still debating if I should keep mine I bought the car for 6,500 thinking it had 100,000 but the dealer rolled back the miles and it really has 200,000 the head gasket blew and luckily my school’s automotive teacher is doing the job for cheap I changed the water pump engine mounts did a tune up and I’m debating whether I should sell it and save for a new car or keep it and hope for the best
I remember being skeptical about buying a 2010 SEL. I still own it and it has given absolutely no issues. Nothing like my Mercedes and Lexus vehicles. Ford really needs to bring this one back.
How about that internal water pump... that's what keeps me from buying anything Ford/Lincoln with the 3.5L V6 and 3.7L V6. Either spend a whole day doing it yourself if you're able bodied or spend $2,000 to $3,000 to have it done every 100k miles. Oof
Thanks Nick! I try to be as strait up as possible with people about the cars I'm selling or filming, but I will say this. Doing that did not help with keeping a job at that store for vary long. I lasted about 6 months and the owners had enough of me telling stories about some of the bad cars they wanted us to sell.
Cool Mark and congrats. I just purchased a 2010 with 74k on it and love the thing. Such a smooth car. Since they came out, always liked them. Did you flush your coolant and at what mileage did you do that maintenance? The cool thing is where I purchased it from gave me a lifetime engine warranty as long as scheduled maintenance is done at their dealership. My plan is to still get tires, breaks, inspections and stuff like that somewhere else. They can do the oil changes, coolant and transmission flushes, spark plug replacements etc.
Mark damn. I got a 2011 as well with 100k. Makes me feel good knowing urs still holding up well. Payed 4800$. Does urs make a low whining noise seems like from the injectors. Can’t hear it outside only inside the cabin with the music on mute?
@@QthAgR8 i have a 2011 ford taurus with 170k miles ,only thing i had to replace was the power steering pump couple bucks at my local mechanic and my starter,bought the starter from ebay and works really great debating if i should get a new car or not since it still rides like a champ
I do have a 2012 Ford Taurus SHO w/ 150+ KM on it, if I do have my way I wouldn't sell it, I'll just keep it and buy another car. The Taurus is one of Ford's best, and it's a pity that they're no more into sedans. Very 'few' cars can actually compete with the Taurus for the price point, I don't know how the Chrysler 300 would do, but that's the only car I am comparing with the Taurus.
It only cost a grand at the dealerships. My co worker has that same car with 174,000 miles the water pump went and he only paid 700.00 at a regular shop. Besides the water pump he has has one single issue with it. He almost has 190,000 on it now
I know this video is a bit dated but I REALLY appreciate it because of my… fun situation. We just repaired my jeep for a grand and after a week we’re letting it sell for parts because it’s still overheating like a ***** (head gasket, radiator, water pump, etc. If the car has it, it’s a coin flip on if it’s still functional). Anywho, I’m in the process of acquiring a vehicle pretty close to this one’s details, 2011 Taurus with 220K on it. My ears perk up for anything over 200k but based on this video I feel more confident in the car. It has a great interior and 18 city/ 28 highway, and it’s all down to inspecting under the hood and coughing up the money at this point. I’ll try and keep this updated because, what the hell why not?!?!? Thanks for the video man!
I had a Ford Taurus 2002 SES, I miss that vehicle, I would buy a newer Taurus SHO as a side vehicle, these cars are work horses and comfortable they are highly reliable. Sad Ford are going to stop producing these cars.
Thanks for making the video Chad. Certainly have become interested in these vehicles recently and I think it would make a great addition to my fleet at the moment. I get its not in the best condition but I'm driving a beat up 2002 Tahoe at the moment with 180k miles (and I love her to death). If I need reliable transportation my 2018 Toyota Camry is the everyday driver lol. I'm in Australia at the moment but I'm back in Charlotte in about two weeks. We'll keep in touch and I'll get my finances sorted (I'll be paying cash to you) but I would love to own this car! You've still got it ill be driving down to Charleston and get the deal done!
I'm glad I was able to show you this car today. Just let me know if your interested in buying it. I'm not sure how much lower they can go on the price, but as you know I'll try to get you a great deal.
I just realized I definitely won't be able to bring down my 2002 Tahoe (which I'm very proud of) cause I can't have 2 cars to drive back lol. Have to either convince my girlfriend to drive me down or get a rental car. (think the last option sounds most likely)
Yeah. The miles are high I will give it that, On the other hand. It's a really decent price and those Taurus are tanks and I wouldn't have an issue driving it.
Just purchased a one owner 2011 Limited with 125k miles for $3500. Needs some TLC, I purchased it for a runner to and from work. Lets see how long it last after I get it up to standards. (windshield, 4 struts, and that dumb rear parking speaker).
The mid-gen refresh really cleaned up the front facia, tail lights and controls. I'm curious if that thing is still going with that many miles. I'm at 123k with my '15 and have anxiety about the water pump lol.
I have a 2011. Mine failed at 114K and I spent 2,300 dollars replacing the water pump and all the timing chain components. They also had to do 2 oil changes to flush the engine because the coolant had mixed. If the car overheats, just pull over immediately and shut the engine down. Only way to save the engine.
@@mikebuckets Once the temp gauge spikes the warning chime will come on. The same sound it makes when the fuel level gets low. Also, my engine was starting to make a rattling sound, so be on the lookout for that too. Usually means the water pump bearings are loose.
Got my 2012 about 4 years agowith 170 thousand well maintained, did all his maintenance brand new pump and currently at 220, wondering if I should start worrying now about the pump now or a few more thousand miles 😩
I don't understand people, why even buy a car with 200k miles especially a sonata, hyundai are not the most reliable car in the book but ford taus last well over 200k miles they built to last, that why it even a cop car, they wouldn't put a unreliable cop car on the street cause cop car usually drive alot of miles 🤦
Warranty price is really close to the Extended Warranty price of my New Car that I bought but its really short term compared to my new Car Warranty... should be like 100 dollars but I suppose that's to band-aid a car if its brought back in.... or sit on it for a long term until the warranty is up to not honor the warranty.
@@makeaway4554 I bought a 98 Lincoln Town Car for $1,200. Still running 25,000 miles and a year later. Two road trips as well. The buyer has to inspect the car themselves. Simple as that.
@@kunz84yuup76 I understand. But what I’m trying to get u to understand is to stop rushing to dealerships. Better to buy used car private owner. Check Facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc u would be surprised what u could have got for price u paid
That’s really bad though if a car breaks down right after buying it. In the uk we have laws to protect the consumers when buying from car dealerships. Not fair if someone’s spent their hard earnings on a car that’s faulty to then be told it’s not your problem…
Thank god my state has a law against “as is” sales to protect from scummy dealerships like this, these guys get them cheap at auction and don’t give a crap what happens to you or the car.
To be fair, a car for $1200, you get what you pay for. It's the consumer's responsibility to ensure the vehicle functions, not the dealer/individual selling it.
King Daniel I get your point for a car that cheap but in any other industry this type of stuff would be unacceptable. It’s not like when you go to the store to buy fresh produce that it’s your job to make sure it’s safe to eat. Consumer protection is an amazing thing, these guys are very shady and like I was saying living in a protected state the consumer can sue over false advertisement and other things. It is always good to be protected and even for 1,200 cars because it’s not like the main group buying them has a ton of disposable income to just buy another if it breaks.
@@jayhawker03 And how exactly is it false advertising? They're not saying the cars are in perfect condition, they're not pulling bait and switch. You think they're "shady" but they're not doing anything illegal or shady. Sounds like the ones with unreasonable expectations are uneducated consumers like yourself. It doesn't matter what other industries are doing, this is standard in the CAR industry. Consumer protection laws are important but shouldn't burden companies or individuals with ignorant customers and their demands. The best consumer protection is educating yourself BEFORE a purchase.
Davis Jones You do the water pump and main chain in them at 100k leaking or not. If you’ll do that , the 3.5 is bulletproof and will easily run 500,000 miles.
I have my 2010 Taurus going 7 years, by far I spend money on oil changes and new tires. Nothing major like others talking about. I think it depends on how you take cares your car. Best Sedan Ever!!!
honestly the price is waaay too much for a 2010 and 200k miles, it should be something around 3000. because all of the dents in it and it was in an accident. for me I just bought a 2013 taurus SEL with a 160k miles on it for just 4000, and it it very very clean with no dents on it except a little hit on the front bumper (I know the video is like 1 year old as I,m writing this comment but it's not that big of a difference)
Can you give me a review on a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited? Is it fun to have, just around town...no off road tearing up transmission stuff...but suburban town fun.
@@Txcowboy80 $400 labor $105 for the part so $505. But I heard this can cost a little over $1,000 depending on the mechanic. I took it to a diff mechanic to inspected my car at 1st which estimated me that’s it’s going to cost me from $1,000-$1,500. He didn’t do that type of job as he didn’t have anything to pull out the engine with & I ended up taking it to a diff mechanic block up the street who charges way less as the mechanic who inspected my car charged me $100 just to see it.
A couple people in my family have one my cousin Walter had one and that's what made us get one he ended up in a bad car wreck walked out then I ended up getting one and my mom used my car more than her own car and she loved it today after she ended up getting one and hers got into a car wreck 75 miles an hour front end smashed she walked out without a scratch and the passenger walked out without a scratch it was on a back road in winter time and they hit ice it wasn't snowing it was a clear day but black ice my car is still going over 400,000 miles on a 03 Taurus SE s still going strong original motor original trans only fix I have to do was valve cover gaskets thermostat radiator hose antifreeze overflow coolant temperature sensor and the engine light came on for cool 460 that is not the fuel pump that is a fuel sensor located up in the dash behind the radio on the flex fuel models and other than that my chance still run strong today she's been a couple car wrecks and she still going strong this car I guarantee is going to get another 300,000 out of her no smoke no knocks purse and I just bought a car with less miles a 2001 Mercury Sable 24-valve duratec I have the Volcan on my Taurus now I got the duratec and the Vulcan we love these cars practically my whole family drives these cars everybody I know in my family has a Taurus my mom got a never Taurus because she loved her so much my cousin Walter got his fixed my cousin Mark has a Taurus my sister's have Tauruses
Way too much for a 200.000 mile car especially a ford Taurus with transmission issues and it was in a accident blue book value would only be around $1.987 i would not pay anymore then that
The reason why the car is cheap is maintenance on it will kill you example let's say your water pump goes out it'll cost you $1,500 to replace it because the water pump is behind the timing chain and is ran by the timing chain so you have to take the timing chain off the timing all of that and it'll take you about three days to do it
That's the only expensive repair on these taurus. These are actually very reliable cars. And the water pump are less than 100 dollars, if u know a cheap mechanic you can get the job done for 600. I have this same car with more than 140,000 and haven't changed anything yet (not even a sensor) and zero lights on the dash, it's amazing. I know about the water pump so I bought one off ebay for 70 bucks just in case. Oh yea, I changed the blend door actuator (35$) because of the clicking noise in the dash.
Baron, changing the water pump is not doing maintenance. That's repairing it.Keeping your anti freeze flushed or changing to new, fresh coolant in a periodic basis is doing maintenance.I have a 2004 Taurus SES with 343,000 miles that is still running strong, thanks to maintenance. I have a 2012 Taurus Limited with 181,251 miles. Best car I've ever owned. No issues. None. And I only put in basic car care, keeping the oils, fluids, filters, and tires fresh or new. And I'm not very timely when it gets done either, but I do it. I bought the 2012 knowing about the water pump, but a lot of people just don't put enuff time into their 25 to 45 thousand dollar vehicle, and blame the manufacturer. Not saying that's you, just saying a little love for that expensive machine goes a long way.
Well, if you do notice the coolant leaking, or maybe get to 1 overheat event and park it, when the crack it open to change the pump, the surrounding chain tensioners are worn nearly to the metal or cracking, it is a great overhaul to have done, and lots of important gaskets are swapped out at that point, too. If you push it through 3 overheats, it warps the head and it is oil and antifreeze mixing destroyed bearing city.
thanks Cha Due. Yes I can do new cars. For the past 5 years on the channel I was filming New & Used cars. Just the past 6 months I've been doing these cheaper used cars, but I'm getting back into the nicer stuff again real soon. make sure to subscribe so you can see when they come out! Chad
@@deltao7448 my friend is a recently retired mechanic from the Dodge dealership funny he never said that at all . But the Ford part of the garage is always booked up .
Yes I do believe Ford started building them better these past years. The older ones did seem to have issues and were cheaply made. From what I was told 2019 is the last year for the Taurus sedan. They are getting ready to stop making all the 4dr cars and just have SUV's and Trucks and Mustangs.
Hey how are you? I’m a college student looking for a car. I just need a car to get me to point a to point b. I’ve found a 06 Hyundai Sonata for 2000. It has 229,000 miles on it. The guy at the dealership said they just did a oil change. They keep it in order and they’ll take it to a mechanic to prove it’s a good car. 2000 is good for me it’s hard enough trying to come up with that
I know this is probably too late, but how about you tell them you'll take it to YOUR mechanic instead. If they won't let a neutral party check it out, walk away.
I just got finessed that same car the person claimed it had 100,000 when really it had about 200,000 I bought it for 6,500$ and my head gasket just blew and went ahead as much things as I can while the engine was on the ground it’s a good car just take care of it man

My 2010 has 154,000 miles and running like it just left the dealership.
I have just purchased a 2013 Taurus with 155,000 miles on it. I was a little worried about the mileage but this gives me some piece of mind!
How’s the car?
@@brookeashley9904 how’s the car ?
@@shadowkillerksa9942 it’s been amazing!! No issues at all. Had it for over a year now.
Warranty price is really close to the Extended Warranty price of my New Car that I bought but its really short term compared to my new Car Warranty... should be like 100 dollars but I suppose that's to band-aid a car if its brought back in.... or sit on it for a long term until the warranty is up to not honor the warranty.
Im watching this video like "come on man atleast lie a little bit bro, i expect you to STEEL FROM ME!!!"

@@makeaway4554 I bought a 98 Lincoln Town Car for $1,200. Still running 25,000 miles and a year later. Two road trips as well. The buyer has to inspect the car themselves. Simple as that.

That’s really bad though if a car breaks down right after buying it. In the uk we have laws to protect the consumers when buying from car dealerships. Not fair if someone’s spent their hard earnings on a car that’s faulty to then be told it’s not your problem…
The dents on the top of that tauris are probably from Hail Damage and can be fixed very easily.
Thank god my state has a law against “as is” sales to protect from scummy dealerships like this, these guys get them cheap at auction and don’t give a crap what happens to you or the car.
I'll be right dwn there to buy a car fella! Not!!!!!
David Klimmek I’m sure they’ve got a “great” warranty package that costs 1/3rd of the car
To be fair, a car for $1200, you get what you pay for. It's the consumer's responsibility to ensure the vehicle functions, not the dealer/individual selling it.
King Daniel I get your point for a car that cheap but in any other industry this type of stuff would be unacceptable. It’s not like when you go to the store to buy fresh produce that it’s your job to make sure it’s safe to eat. Consumer protection is an amazing thing, these guys are very shady and like I was saying living in a protected state the consumer can sue over false advertisement and other things. It is always good to be protected and even for 1,200 cars because it’s not like the main group buying them has a ton of disposable income to just buy another if it breaks.
@@jayhawker03 And how exactly is it false advertising? They're not saying the cars are in perfect condition, they're not pulling bait and switch. You think they're "shady" but they're not doing anything illegal or shady. Sounds like the ones with unreasonable expectations are uneducated consumers like yourself. It doesn't matter what other industries are doing, this is standard in the CAR industry. Consumer protection laws are important but shouldn't burden companies or individuals with ignorant customers and their demands. The best consumer protection is educating yourself BEFORE a purchase.
I had a 2010 fusion lasted 315k
Watch out for the water pump in those cars
And the power steering
Nah not an issue. 3.5L Duratec is outstanding all comes dwn to maintenance...in all vehicles.
Davis Jones You do the water pump and main chain in them at 100k leaking or not. If you’ll do that , the 3.5 is bulletproof and will easily run 500,000 miles.
@@prevost8686 do u have to replace them might buy a tarus
I have my 2010 Taurus going 7 years, by far I spend money on oil changes and new tires. Nothing major like others talking about. I think it depends on how you take cares your car. Best Sedan Ever!!!
honestly the price is waaay too much for a 2010 and 200k miles, it should be something around 3000. because all of the dents in it and it was in an accident. for me I just bought a 2013 taurus SEL with a 160k miles on it for just 4000, and it it very very clean with no dents on it except a little hit on the front bumper (I know the video is like 1 year old as I,m writing this comment but it's not that big of a difference)
Wow man 160k miles? How’s it running? Wonder how well maintained it was
jack boy I got a 2011 sel with 101k on it. Payed 4800$ just need new weather strips on the top of the car. And control arms.
Atleast hes honest about takeing you for a ride lol

@@Txcowboy80 no, it failed a little over a year ago, It was around the 160,000 mile mark.
@@Kikester thanks for the info. Hopefully I can hit 150k before I have to replace it. How much did they charge you?
@@Txcowboy80 $400 labor $105 for the part so $505. But I heard this can cost a little over $1,000 depending on the mechanic. I took it to a diff mechanic to inspected my car at 1st which estimated me that’s it’s going to cost me from $1,000-$1,500. He didn’t do that type of job as he didn’t have anything to pull out the engine with & I ended up taking it to a diff mechanic block up the street who charges way less as the mechanic who inspected my car charged me $100 just to see it.

The thing I hate about these cars is how expensive their headlights are. $600 a pair
Thanks for you honestly.sale all
Best looking Taurus since its debut. Gonna try and talk my wife into a used Taurus.
Way too much for a 200.000 mile car especially a ford Taurus with transmission issues and it was in a accident blue book value would only be around $1.987 i would not pay anymore then that
They probably had less than $1000. in that Taurus, but they're there to make money. If you don't want to do business with them, then move along.
The reason why the car is cheap is maintenance on it will kill you example let's say your water pump goes out it'll cost you $1,500 to replace it because the water pump is behind the timing chain and is ran by the timing chain so you have to take the timing chain off the timing all of that and it'll take you about three days to do it
That's the only expensive repair on these taurus. These are actually very reliable cars. And the water pump are less than 100 dollars, if u know a cheap mechanic you can get the job done for 600. I have this same car with more than 140,000 and haven't changed anything yet (not even a sensor) and zero lights on the dash, it's amazing. I know about the water pump so I bought one off ebay for 70 bucks just in case. Oh yea, I changed the blend door actuator (35$) because of the clicking noise in the dash.
Baron, changing the water pump is not doing maintenance. That's repairing it.Keeping your anti freeze flushed or changing to new, fresh coolant in a periodic basis is doing maintenance.I have a 2004 Taurus SES with 343,000 miles that is still running strong, thanks to maintenance. I have a 2012 Taurus Limited with 181,251 miles. Best car I've ever owned. No issues. None. And I only put in basic car care, keeping the oils, fluids, filters, and tires fresh or new. And I'm not very timely when it gets done either, but I do it. I bought the 2012 knowing about the water pump, but a lot of people just don't put enuff time into their 25 to 45 thousand dollar vehicle, and blame the manufacturer. Not saying that's you, just saying a little love for that expensive machine goes a long way.
Well, if you do notice the coolant leaking, or maybe get to 1 overheat event and park it, when the crack it open to change the pump, the surrounding chain tensioners are worn nearly to the metal or cracking, it is a great overhaul to have done, and lots of important gaskets are swapped out at that point, too. If you push it through 3 overheats, it warps the head and it is oil and antifreeze mixing destroyed bearing city.

😁😁😁
People beat the shit out of rentals, thats why.
200kmiles but those miles are the transmission not the engine
What year was that Taurus
1991
2010 prolly
I guess the new models are better becouse I had a old generation and it had lot of issues. I had to trade it in
Yes I do believe Ford started building them better these past years. The older ones did seem to have issues and were cheaply made. From what I was told 2019 is the last year for the Taurus sedan. They are getting ready to stop making all the 4dr cars and just have SUV's and Trucks and Mustangs.
Hyundais are crap compared to the new Taurus. They are extremely high quality cars.
Hyundai's last longer than Fords and Hyundai are as if not of better quality than Fords. Lincoln's are stupid nice tho.
David C lincoln is a luxury ford my man lmao

Hey how are you? I’m a college student looking for a car. I just need a car to get me to point a to point b. I’ve found a 06 Hyundai Sonata for 2000. It has 229,000 miles on it. The guy at the dealership said they just did a oil change. They keep it in order and they’ll take it to a mechanic to prove it’s a good car. 2000 is good for me it’s hard enough trying to come up with that
Lol 2000 for a hyundai
I know this is probably too late, but how about you tell them you'll take it to YOUR mechanic instead. If they won't let a neutral party check it out, walk away.
Hope U didn’t buy that car. Your better of with a older Toyota with way less miles for that price
Wat u want for the Jeep srt8??
Idk yet. the dealer wants to fix it first before giving me a price.
