1988 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"A very great car for the bucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My power steering pump and hoses blew.
My transmission shifts a little funky now.
Front wheel bearings went.
Funky clear coat paint.
General comments?
All in all, I love this car like a brother, although this was my first car I ever owned. The only things that are worrying me are the transmission and the fuel pump (which I will replace myself).
I will never part with my Taurus LX.
