thats an interesting year from ford when they had this design language like the ford 500 too. lol i didnt know this taurus existed.. i just thought the 2004 one went into the 2011 model year design hehe
Got this car for 3k as of last week. 130k miles on the clock, car exceeded my expectations, such a comfortable ride and spacious interior, such a hell of a deal. Ill be keeping this car until the end of time
I got the '09 Limited loaded with 3.5 L Duratec rated 263 horses, currently 147,000 miles and drives like a dream. The only thing wrong is the drier's seat heater stopped working. Like all cars, the secret to longevity is maintenance. Ford is not the best but is still very good and ubiquitous enough to learn from other people's mistakes. Recently I got a '15 Taurus, also top of the line with only 25k miles. I feel like I'm in heaven.
hey, look when he is weaving in and out of the cones...it almost looks like the door isnt shut all the way (3:39) lol nice vid though thanks for posting it i really like these cars
Yeah lol. The impala had a recall because the rear tires wear prematurely because of a defect in rear suspension. The impala will have ABS issues, traction control issues, airbag problems, electrical gremlins in general. Only positive I noticed is the mpg. Got 30 highway with a 09 impala. Quite impressive for a 3.5 v6. Had the opportunity to drive a rental car 2018 Chevy impala 1,000 miles round trip with the 3.6 VVT. Had get up and oomph, fuel economy and performance somewhat like a turbocharged engine. You won't believe this. But I got 34 mpg. I looked at the computer and my calculator. If that's not a deal breaker then I don't know what is Let me tell ya, Chevy is almost up there within Ford's terms of interior ergonomics and comfort. Better than Ford now in MPG on the highway at least with that new Impala.
I feel for owners in the comment section who, admittedly, have all gotten good deals on used variants of this model. And to be sure, those with the money to keep them going may well be happy. But history has been quite unkind to this generation Taurus, and the reason for those good deals is because of its reliability: they simply will not make it through the 2020s without a LOT of repairs, regardless of maintenance
The main thing they need is the water pump which is expensive due to being chain driven but otherwise, they are pretty well made. You can go with much worse.
Bought one of these about a year ago for 4 grand. Everyone who rides in it has been very happy with it.

@@adams1696The Five Hundred and the Taurus are the same car. They just changed the name.
I inherited an 08 Sable with 30k miles last year. He had been dealer serviced for everything and is in great condition even 13 years old.
That’s build exactly the same is the 08 Taurus for those who are wondering 😅 just the brand name was changed lol
I've hot a 2009 limited and it's super nice. Paid 8400 for it. With just 70000 miles. Still drives and looks awesome

That's great.
I do like that Taurus better than the newer generation ones.
I have this car... Still with me in Qatar. Works great.. Powerful, maximum comfort driving 😍😍
Now i definitely know to get the 2008 Ford Taurus when someone from Qatar likes it. Thanks for your comment :)

how reliable are these with the 3.5 L Duratec engine compare to the newer 2015- Taurus
seat heater is a easy fix. done both of mine.
@@ELVISRN1 is it as simple as cleaning the electrical connectors under the seat?
Just bought one 2 weeks ago and love it. It drives very smooth and all of my friends agree
The driver door looks like its ready to pop open at 3:43 in the slolam
He didn't have it closed all the way. Mine is like that, you have to give it a good shove to fully latch it.
I Hope Ford is going to bring Taurus & Fusion back since they did bring it back for 2008

You must be joking

Why didn't the Mercury Sable X crossover go into production?
Jacob Witmer I wondered the same thing
well... I got it preowned, im the 2nd owner 60,000 miles now 74,000 miles, nope! no problems yet.
it seemed like it was kept up pretty well.
Seriously, the driver door looks like it can open ANY TIME. 😮
I own a 2009. It's been a great car
Very nice this Ford Taurus
I have a 07 500. Pretty coo car. Just wish motor was more powerful

Where is the IAC valve located at can some one tell me please
I own a sel awd and I get 22 mpg that’s daily driving
How much city % and highway % driving is that?
1996-2007 was way better! Resembles the original Taurus from 1986 more!
Best sedan in he past 25 years
I wish they offered front split bench seating on those like 2007 did! Frig
Have you had any major problems with it since you've had it?
Nope
