1997 Ford Taurus review from North America
"Cheap car to operate, but not an ego booster"
General comments?
I bought the car and it needed struts. It still needs struts.
If you try to get accelerate quickly the transmission will lurch a little. It has been doing that since I bought the car.
The serpentine squeals when the car is running. I replaced it and it was fine for a while, but now it does the same thing. I fixed it by keeping the radio a little louder.
I really want to, but another car, but it keeps running without any major issues that need to be addressed.
Bought in 2004 for 2000 dollars and haven't spent more than 500 in repairs. That is including brakes, tires, serpentine belt, battery and starter.
