1991 Ford Taurus L Sedan review from North America

When I got the car, the battery terminals that hold the battery had to be replaced.

At 89000 miles, the oxygen sensor went.

At 95000 miles, replaced the front brakes.

At 96000 miles, replaced the starter.

At 100000 miles, replaced the tailight bezels and also the alternator.

At 110000 miles, replaced all the brakes.

And there were many other things that needed to be replaced on this car.

I had bought this car off an elderly lady who really did not take such good care of it at all. The paint was fading from age (it's red). She never had the car in the garage. It sat under a tree a good percentage of the time. She never was a smoker, so the interior looked really good.

Speaking of the interior, it had an aftermarket Blaupunkt removal face stereo in it. The car has no power windows (rare for a Taurus), no power door locks, nor a power seat. It does have the tilt wheel. The interior is also red.

The trunk is big. It still has the original spare tire and jack parts. The trunk looks in great shape.

As far as the way it runs, that is another story. Over the almost 4 years that I have owned it, it has given me numerous problems. There have been times when I have wanted to get rid of it. But it has not fully died yet!!

Yes this is a very problematic car. There are tons of these still on the road. Parts for this car are getting pretty hard to find. I have known a few other people who have owned this version of the Taurus, and they hated theirs.

Do I like this car? Not really. It runs good for now. Would I buy another one? Definitely no!! Would I recommend anyone to buy one of these? Definitely no!! If you can tolerate it's problems, buy one. Otherwise, please stay away from these cars.
