1992 Ford Taurus LX Station Wagon review from North America
"If the previous owner has taken care of it, it would probably be a decent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to replace the planetary gear in the transmission at approximately 80000 miles. This cost us $1000.00. At 90000 miles, some seals went bad in the transmission. Instead of rebuilding this one, we dropped a different one in, which cost us another $1000.00. We bought this car used so we were not sure what to expect from it.
We had to replace both tie rods at the same time the tranny blew the first time.
General comments?
I'm not sure we will ever buy another Taurus, at least not an older model.
It has been a smooth and comfortable ride for the most part with plenty of room. The back has a third seat and even a picnic tray.
It doesn't seem to have much get-up-and-go starting off, but once it takes off, it picks up speed quickly.
