1993 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"The best 93 Taurus ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power wire on the back of the alternator burned up, but is easy to fix.
The rear caliper mounting brackets wore out and kept wearing out pads.
Temperature gauge drops to cold and then goes back up several times in a row, but this only happens once and a while.
Front and rear rotors keep warping.
Radiator had to be replaced and I also replaced the thermostat with a 180 degree one.
All of the struts are worn out.
General comments?
I bought the car from my 4th grade school teacher for $1500.00 and she bought it new.
The car is loaded with almost every option. It has Premium sound CD/Cassette/Radio, power antenna, factory sliding moon roof, leather seats, keyless entry, LX aluminum wheels, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, driver-side power seat and both front seats have lumbar, 3.8 liter engine, LX gauge cluster with tachometer, low fuel, oil, washer fluid and bulb out lights, dual airbags, illuminated entry.
